Right, enough golf chat; it’s time to wrap up our coverage now. We’ll have a report on Alcaraz’s win shortly, and reports on the night action much later (I should have mentioned Venus Williams is still to play today too, in her first slam doubles quarter-final since 2016), but in the meantime here’s Bryan’s take on Pegula’s win. Many thanks for your company as always; Daniel will be here tomorrow to take you through the remaining quarter-finals. Bye!

Alcaraz is being interviewed on Sky now. Laura Robson asks if Tim Henman can join the golf match with Garcia. Alcaraz reveals Henman is NFI. “We just set up a round with four people already. Tim, don’t worry, we’ll set up another.” He’s smiling so much it’s impossible for him to upset Henman, who then reveals he was on the course with Alcaraz after Queen’s: “There were eight of us. But Carlos and Juan Carlos [Alcaraz’s coach] played with Andy Murray. I played with Alex de Minaur and Lleyton Hewitt. I didn’t get the chance to play Carlos, but I look forward to it.”
