Things have moved on rapidly at No. 2 court where Kostuk is serving for the match at 5-1. Nerves get the better of her as three match points slip through her fingers. But she takes a deep breath at deuce and pulls out an ace and an overhead smash to reach the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time. Semi-finals at Paris too, she’s on a roll.
From the camera eye on court 12, you can see the crowds miling past on two sides. The 21st seed Bouzkova lost the first set to Samsonova 4-6, but is fighting back in the second which is going with serve, 4-4. She reached the quarter-finals here in 2022 and is in fiery grass-court form. Samsonova, who reached the quarter-finals last year, has already upset the 15th seed Diana Shnaider this week.
