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.

Berrettini 1-6 2-6 1-4 Federer*
Berrettini holds to 15, and gets on the boar in this third set.
Federer let him have that...
*Berrettini 1-6 2-6 1-5 Federer
Federer holds to love, in a game which I reckon lasted for about 1 minute.
He is a game away from the last 8.
Berrettini 1-6 2-6 2-5 Federer*
Berrettini holds to love, in a game which also probably lasted 1 minute.
Quickest two games of the Championships so far? Perhaps..
GAME, SET, MATCH ROGER FEDERER! Berrettini 1-6 2-6 2-6 Federer
In 1 hour and 13 minutes, Federer is through to the quarters!
One of the most one-sided second week clashes I've ever seen at Wimbledon I have to say.
For Federer, job well and truly done. He's beaten the potential rain, and has cruised to a last eight match against either Kei Nishikori or Mikhail Kukushkin, who are still locked in battle on Court 2.
COURT 2 UPDATE
Kei Nishikori is through to the quarter-finals! He's beaten Mikhail Kukushkin 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in 2 hours and 43 minutes on Court No 2.
He will play Roger Federer on Wednesday.
