Otherwise, though, that’s us done for the day. We’re into the competition, and you can join me again tomorrow at 10am BST for what should be an extremely fun day; we start with Paire v Norrie, Pliskova v Stephens is also first up, and we’re also getting Djokovic, Auger-Aliassime, Alcaraz, Garcia, Sinner and Kvitova. See you then!

Midway through set three Djere was properly in this match, but as soon as things got really tight, Rublev’s superior quality asserted itself and a netted backhand hands him a break that means he’s three holds from victory at 6-1 3-6 6-3 3-2.
