Some reflections on Andy Murray from Kevin Mitchell:
Well thank you for joining me for day six of Wimbledon! Katie Boulter is still to come on centre court, she will face defending champion Elena Rybakina on centre court and we will have a report on all the action after it is wrapped up! We will be back tomorrow to report day seven live, see you then!
Jabeur, last year’s finalist, said: “I have got to thank the rain a little bit for letting me speak to my coach! I felt I didn’t play my best tennis. I wanted t be more aggressive but I am playing against a grand slam champion. She made the mission tougher today. I am very emotional coming back here after a great final last year. It’s one of, if not my favourite court. I also love the crowd, the energy, how beautiful it is. It was a little frustrating, her drop shots and slices were kind of annoying! You have to do what you can do. Billie [Jean King] is watching and I was going to ask her and say ‘what should I do?’. I think I’m sleeping on the couch tonight, I looked at him [her husband] during the game and I think he wasn’t happy with it!”
Jabeur looks up to the sky, or roof, and screams. A huge win! Andreescu is straight off court but waves to the crowd as she goes. She also signs some things for some young fans.
Jabeur fights back to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 against Andreescu
Jabeur has done it, what a comeback performance! The first point goes to Jabeur and she just needs three more to go into the second week at Wimbledon. The second point goes Andreescu’s way with Jabeur making an error, the tension is palpable! And again Jabeur makes an unforced error, Andreescu 30-15 up. An ace levels the game and Jabeur has match point as Andreescu pushes a shot too long. And an ace does it! Andreescu challenges the ball to delay celebration – it is in!
Jabeur breaks to serve for the match! Jabeur *3-6, 6-3, 5-4 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
Andreescu’s backhand is called out, that would have been a call I would have challenged but the Canadian let’s it slide. Andreescu then hits the net with Jabeur 30-0 up. If she breaks here she will serve for the game. A double fault gifts Jabeur a break point, three actually as she is 40-0 up and she gets it first time of asking with Andreescu hitting the net.
Jabeur 3-6, 6-3, 4-4 Andreescu* (* denotes next server)
There were new balls introduced before this game. The first point went to Jabeur as Andreescu’s return was out and she can’t return another serve to see Jabeur 30-0 up. An unforced error from Andreescu comes next but then Jabeur pushes her shot out. 40-15 and Andreescu pushes it out.
Jabeur *3-6, 6-3, 3-4 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
A drop shot sees Andreescu return but it is out, lovely play by Jabeur. The 2022 Wimbledon finalist hits the net to level it 15-15. Jabeur now challenges a call that was called out and it was a good decision, it is in! Jabeur hits the ball and it’s called out and it is upheld – she has no more challenges. A great forehand shot wins her the game.
Jabeur 3-6, 6-3, 3-3* Andreescu (* denotes next server)
After a 50 minute wait the game is back underway, Andreescu putting in two errors to give Jabeur a 30-0 lead. Jabeur then hits the net and her backhand has too much on it to level the game 30-30. The forehand is out for Jabeur and Andreescu has break point. We head to deuce after an Andreescu error. Jabeur thought she had an ace but it was called out, the call stood after a challenge. Andreescu gets the advantage and another break point but Jabeur saves it again. An ace this time gives Jabeur the advantage, can she see this out now? She does with a lovely splice on her backhand.
Here we go, finally!
No sign of Jabeur or Andreescu yet. The wait continues.
I believe Zverev and Berrettini will proceed with the match, both players warming up now. Jabeur and Andreescu should be out on court soon.
It seems Zverev is also not happy, I think both players are concerned about a slippery surface. Jabeur and Andreescu are due back out onto centre court at 8.10 but we will see.
Berrettini is not happy with the conditions on court 1 and so the officials are reviewing the situation. They are discussing with both players now.
There is no more play on the outside courts tonight so all of those games will be postponed. Court 1 and Centre continue.
The grounds people are still sorting out the grass on centre court, I think a lot of rain fell before the game was suspended. It seems a stupid decision to open the roof with the forecasts.
How long does it take to shut the roof? Google suggests 10 minutes but the game as been suspended for almost half an hour!
The clock ticks on but the play is still not underway. If I were on centre court I would be a bit miffed, Boulter is on afterwards and this could mean the fans don’t get to see that game conclude with Wimbledon stopping play around 10.30.
We are still waiting for play to resume, why did they open the roof after the Alcaraz match? Seems ludicrous.
We will be getting back underway shortly, the cover is off on centre court and the players will have a chance to warm-up again before they start this final set again. The score stands at Jabeur 3-6, 6-3, 2-3 Andreescu.
While we wait for this game to get back underway, look at this:
The outside court matches have been suspended again because of the rain, England eh!
Yeah confirmation there that the centre court roof was open, why they decided to open it again is beyond me, but it has started to rain so they are going to close it here.
The BBC have decided to cut to Rune’s interview, there is a break in Jabeur and Andreescu’s match but seems a strange cut though I think they are closing centre court’s roof, he describe the match as one of his most favourite to play. “It’s a great moment for sure, I am so happy to be in the fourth round for the first time”.
Jabeur breaks back! Jabeur *3-6, 6-3, 2-3 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
Jabeur gets the first point with a stretching Andreescu hitting the net. Another error from Andreescu has Jabeur 30-0 up. Can she break right back? Not yet with Andreescu’s smash getting her on the board. But how about this? Jabeur has break point with Andreescu hitting the net and a double fault sees Jabeur break!
Andreescu breaks! Jabeur 3-6, 6-3, 1-3* Andreescu (* denotes next server)
An error on her own serve sees Andreescu ahead and a great smash, after Jabeur slips in her return, puts her 30-0 up. And another error gifts Andreescu break point!

Rune defeats Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8)
What a match! Davidovich Fokina really took the game to Rune but in the end the Dane had enough to see out the match on tie break! Wow.
Dimitrov has taken the second set 6-3 against Tiafoe after winning the first. Rune is in a tie break with Davidovich Fokina in their fifth set.
Jabeur 3-6, 6-3, 1-1* Andreescu (* denotes next server)
Andreescu pushes the ball out as the second game of this final set begins. The ball just clips the net and rolls over to give Jabeur 30-0 and then the ball does the same but this time it lands in Andreescu’s favour! A long rally ends with an error from Jabeur and the game is 30-30 but she plays a good shot to be one point from closing out the game. and she does just that.
Jabeur *3-6, 6-3, 0-1 Andreescu (* denotes next server)

Jabeur wins second set to send match with Andreescu to a third
Jabeur wins the second set 6-3. She is serving for this set and starts it with a great hit and follows it up with a powerful forehand. Another great shot down the right gives her set point and she grabs it at the first chance.
Jabeur *3-6, 5-3 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
Andreescu raced to a 30-0 lead and went 40-0 up after a long shot bounced in and Jabeur was unable to return it. An Andreescu error sees Jabeur get her first point of the game and another has Jabeur right back in this. We go to deuce as Andreescu hitting the net, if she loses this game it will be frustrating for her after having such a lead. Andreescu has advantage as Jabeur can’t return her serve but a double fault has us back to deuce. Andreescu has advantage but it’s Jabeur who gets the applause as she headed the tennis ball back to the ball people. Back to deuce we go as Andreescu forces the ball long. Andreescu finally wraps up the game.
Keys has defeated Kostyuk in a dominant 6-4, 6-1 win on court 12. A very strong performance by the American.

Jabeur 3-6, 5-2 Andreescu* (* denotes next server)

Jabeur breaks! Jabeur *3-6, 4-2 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
It turns out hawkeye shows if Andreescu kept the challenge she would have been correct! Jabeur wins the first point but an unforced error from her levels it, Jabeur talking to herself in frustration. Another error from Jabeur gifts Andreescu 30-15. It’s all level again though as Andreescu pops the ball out and a great forehand shot from Jabeur gives her break point. And she gets it! A huge moment.
Madison Keys won the first set against Marta Kostyuk 6-4 and she is leading 2-1 in the second.
Jabeur 3-6, 3-2 Andreescu* (* denotes next server)
Jabeur really needs to hold serve and stay in this. She loses out on the first point but levels it after an Andreescu error. The Canadian then challenges a call on Jabeur’s serve but it was in. It goes 30-30 as Jabeur smacks the net – more errors than usual in her game today. She gets the next one though to be in touching distance of holding, Andreescu’s shot is called out and she puts in a challenge but she cancels it.
Jabeur *3-6, 2-2 Andreescu (* denotes next server)
A brilliant forehand shot sees the Canadian 15-0 up, some real power behind her hits. Jabeur has an unforced error and another one, having too much on her forehand, puts Andreescu 40-0 up. She wins it with another Jabeur error!
Dimitrov has taken the first set 6-2 against Tiafoe, they have just started their second set. Zvrev and Berrettini are 2-2 in the first set.
Jabeur 3-6, 2-1* Andreescu (* denotes next server)
Thank you Tom! Hello everyone, I am back and I’ve returned to a slight upset here. Jabeur was in the final last year, can she keep herself in this? She starts well on her serve but Andreescu hits back. Tjhey go toe-to-toe again with 30-30, Jabeur is looking a little shaky here but she must hold to get a foothold. Jabeur’s shot clops the net and bounces over and some excellent close to net action from Andreescu sends it to deuce. Jabeur gets the advantage and sees it out well.
Jabeur* 3-6, 1-1 Andreescu (* denotes next server): Jabeur just can’t make any inroads into Andreescu’s serve, and the Canadian’s mixing it up beautifully, a dinked drop shot for 40-0 exemplifying her control and confidence. A rare double-fault ensues but a fierce backhand winner seals the hold.
And with that I’ll hand you back to Sarah. Enjoy!
Jabeur 3-6, 1-0 Andreescu* (* denotes next server): Errors are creeping into Jabeur’s game and a lame forehand into the net for 0-15, followed by a similarly limp backhand for 15-30, is an ominous start to the second set. She responds with an ace before yet another forehand into the net gives Andreescu a break point. An angled forehand winner from Jabeur saves it, and it’s followed by a rare Andreescu mistake, sending a gimme of a volley wide. And Jabeur goes on to secure a vital hold.
Jabeur* 3-6 Andreescu (* denotes next server): Andreescu is serving excellently and in the blink of an eye is 30-0 up before a gorgeous low back-spun drop shot delivers her three set points. And she converts the first of them when Jabeur can only return a vicious forehand into the net. Andreescu takes the set, and is looking the likelier winner.
Jabeur 3-5 Andreescu* (* denotes next server): Jabeur crunches a deceptively powerful back-of-court forehand winner to the corner for 30-0, and another one to the opposite corner seals a hold to love again. But Andreescu is now serving for the set.
Jabeur* 2-5 Andreescu (* denotes next server): Jabeur needs a break of serve though, and doesn’t currently look like getting one. Andreescu, striking the ball powerfully and cleanly, holds to 15.
An intriguing looking match-up between Alexander Zverev, the No 19 seed, and Matteo Berretini, the 2021 runner-up here, is under way on Court One. They’re in the first game.
