Hold the phone. Keys has fought her way back from the brink to lead this second set 5-4. Having been four games down, she's now in the ascent as she bids to convert these gains into a set. She's gone from woeful to brilliant at the flick of a switch. What a match this is shaping up to be.
Novak Djokovic allayed injury fears ahead of his Wimbledon third-round clash against Kyle Edmund.
The three-time champion tweaked his left knee during an otherwise straightforward victory over Horacio Zeballos on Thursday.
Alarm bells rang when Rafael Nadal walked out to practice on Djokovic's allotted court at Aorangi Park on Friday and initially there was no sign of the Serbian.
But when he did show up to the practice venue 15 minutes late it was without strapping on his knee and with no signs of discomfort. Edmund and Djokovic face off on Saturday for a place in the last-16 stage.
Keys 5-7 7-5 2-3 Rodina
We're into a final and third set. The American has, rather unbelievably, turned this one around.
Fritz 4-6 7-5 7-6 (7-0) 1-6 1-0 Zverev
After their game was suspended last night due to poor light, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz's second-round showdown is into its fifth set. The German has started strongly today after his mid-match wobble yesterday.
Madison Keys became the latest top-10 casualty at Wimbledon after defeat by world number 120 Evgeniya Rodina.
Keys, a US Open runner-up last year, crashed out 7-5 5-7 6-4 to the Russian on a baking hot Court Three.
The 23-year-old American threatened a remarkable comeback in the third-round match, coming from a set and 4-0 down to force a decider, but Rodina held her nerve to reach the last 16 at a grand slam for the first time.
Keys' defeat means that seven of the top 10 women's seeds at this year's championships have already been knocked out.
Rodina could face seven-time winner and current tournament favourite Serena Williams in round four.
Kevin Anderson is the first man through to the fourth round of Wimbledon.
The South African, seeded 32, beat Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-3 7-5 7-5 and awaits the winner of Sam Querrey and Gael Monfils' match.
Anderson, who got to the US Open final last September, served 22 aces against the German.
Alexander Zverev will be thankful for last night's bad light as he returned to despatch Taylor Fritz in the outstanding second-round match.
The fourth seed was trailing by two sets to one when darkness descended on Court One on Thursday and all the momentum was with the American.
But he turned things around on Friday, winning the remaining two sets in style to seal a 6-4 5-7 6-7 (0/7) 6-1 6-2 victory.
Winning five sets at a grand slam is becoming the norm for Zverev as he had to do it three times in five matches at Roland Garros last month.
Camila Giorgi of Italy advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon after saving a match point while beating Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic 3-6, 7-6 (6) 6-2.
The 52nd-ranked Giorgi produced a backhand winner at 4-5, 30-40 in the second set, then won a tiebreaker to force a deciding set.
Having made 18 unforced errors in each of the first two sets, Giorgi tightened up her game to make just eight in the third and advance to the last 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 2012.
She will next face 35th-ranked Ekaterina Makarova, who overcame another Czech, Lucie Safarova, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.
