Ons Jabeur has advanced defeating Garbine Muguruza in three sets. Up next on Centre Court is the Dan Evans - Sebastian Korda match which will be followed by Shapo - Murray.

The good news: Fucsovics dispatches Schwartzman to advance to the round of 16
The bad news: He faces Rublev whom he must be tired of losing to in 2021

Looks like Evans is saying not so fast and is poised to force a 5th and deciding set.

Well, Evans was up a break and Korda broke to get back on serve.

Is it on after Evans Korda? EDIT: I guess the above posts answer my question.

Yeah, here's hoping Korda can serve it out and we don't have to wait another 45 minutes to an hour.

Edit: Nice. That's a huge win for Korda.

That was a good final game. I thought he was going to blow it when he dumped that overhead into the tape. Then followed it up with some really beautiful shots.

Murray looks game. Both players running a lot, working it side to side. Shapo misses his first five first serves, but pulls out the game. Going to have to improve in that area.

That was a fine point from Shapo after thinking he had the break that was overruled by Hawk-Eye.

Yeah, my big concern is Shapo's serve still. That last point he won he tossed the ball way too far back and sort of managed to force it in and Murray missed, but he's just so erratic. At this point you have to think it's just the way he is.

During an earlier match the commentators suggested Shapo’s garbage toss is easily correctable if he just worked on the motion. Why would any coach not immediately put him to practicing that like 200 times a day. It’s almost like there’s a Sigalet effect with all the young Canadians and their serves.

The serve is not great today, but the groundstrokes are quite sublime thus far.

At the risk of jinxing Felix, his serve is much better than it used to be. His toss is certainly more consistent which is likely a big factor in the improvement.

Classic Denis. Play amazingly for an hour, serve for the set, get broken at love. Such a frustrating player.

Haha I'm sorry I was totally just kidding! We can all join in to cheer for Shapo to close this out!

Feds Dad is in the bottom left cheering for Nadal what a class act.
