COURT 1 RESULT
In 3 hours and 7 minutes, Roberto Bautista Agut has beaten Guido Pella 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, and he will play in the Wimbledon semi-finals against Novak Djokovic on Friday.
CENTRE COURT UPDATE
Kei Nishikori is serving for the first set against Roger Federer on Centre - the Japanese is 5-4 up...
Andy Murray and Serena Williams in the post-match press conference:
AM: "I thought they played well, they've played quite a bit together I think.We were more up and down then them, they were more consistent.
SW: Overall, [at the tournament], we played really well.
AM: "I've achieved a lot. My hip was feeling good, and it's a lot of physical work now to get stronger. I'm doing some physical testing next week, I did one the week before Queen's... it's 4-6 weeks of training and I'll have some testing after that.
Should there be more mixed doubles on tour?
SW: "It's hard to say. There are so many good matches anyway. It sounds good, but will it work?
On the lack of British players in the latter stages:
AM: "I think a lot of countries don't have a chance at Grand Slams. It's more just not needing to rely on wild cards.
On the divisions in the ATP Player Council:
AM: "The whole situation is a shame. So much in-fighting in the sport. Tennis is doing really well, there should be more positive discussions. There are so many different organisations fighting, I would like to see a bit more unity, there's a lot of division.
On playing with Serena:
"It was just confirmation of how much she wanted it, and how pumped she was getting - I liked that."
On playing with Andy:
SW: "I think to play on this stage with Andy was a lifetime experience. But it's cool to see people on TV and then be on the same side as them."
CENTRE COURT UPDATE
One set all on Centre - Kei Nishikori took the first set 6-4, but Roger Federer came storming back in the second, 6-1.
