Your support makes all the difference.Cori Gauff 's fairytale run at Wimbledon is over after the 15-year-old lost to former world No 1 Simona Halep on Court One.
Gauff had already defeated another former No 1 – beating Venus Williams in the first round – and the young American completed an astonishing comeback in the third round, saving match points to defeat Polona Hercog 3-6 7-6(7) 7-5.
But last year’s French Open champion Halep, who recorded an impressive straight-sets win over Victoria Azarenka in her last outing, proved too strong recording a straight sets win.

FIRST SET FEDERER, 6-1!
Simple as you like for Federer, who takes the first set 6-1.
Berrettini 1-6 1-2 Federer*
Federer breaks early in the set again, and the momentum is completely with the eight-time champion here.
His Italian opponent looks slightly fazed by the occasion.
*Berrettini 1-6 1-3 Federer
A hold to love, and a final point where Berrettini missed the ball completely.
It's been a tough opening half an hour for the Italian...
Berrettini 1-6 2-3 Federer*
The Italian holds to 15 for his third game of the match, as he finally connects with some aggressive 1st serves.

Court 2 - Kei Nishikori (8) 6-3 3-6 4-3 Mikhail Kukushkin*
Court 3 - *Guido Pella (26) 3-6 4-6 6-3 1-2 Milos Raonic
I have to say, for the first time in this Championships, it's looking very murky overhead.
Will we get our first spot of rain???
*Berrettini 1-6 2-4 Federer*
After Berrettini opens the game with a backhand pass, Federer then strolls to the game, with the Italian leaving his rally ball way too short.
A harsh lesson so far.
