Wimbledon LIVE: Tennis scores as Murray and Raducanu in doubles

The joy of Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe shows the very best of Wimbledon

The bare facts are that Carlos Alcaraz is through to the fourth round of Wimbledon and Frances Tiafoe is not, but that does not begin to explain the theatre that unfolded under Centre Court’s closed roof. The crowd hung on every ball in a match soundtracked by gasps and hollers, as the third and 29th seeds put on a show. Grown adults who, three hours earlier, had never seen Tiafoe hold a tennis racket found themselves roaring “Get him, Frances!” with both lungs, veins popping from their neck, urging the American to push the reigning champion further and further.

He did, forcing Alcaraz to dig into his reserves of energy and creativity, but Alcaraz reminded everyone just how deep they run, dominating the fifth set to win 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-2.

Emma Raducanu works her spell on Maria Sakkari to continue stunning Wimbledon run

As Emma Raducanu hoisted up a backhand lob on the run that almost brushed the rafters on Centre Court, the Wimbledon crowd held their breath as the ball began its descent. Raducanu had managed to strike first against Maria Sakkari but found as much momentum in her efforts to deny the Greek ninth seed, rewarded for her attacking intent on break points.

This defensive lob, though, on the stretch, felt a step too far, but as it dropped inside the baseline and Centre Court erupted it became the moment that encapsulated this stunning 6-2 6-3 win. Raducanu is bringing the magic of New York to Wimbledon.

Wimbledon will be shown on the BBC in the UK, with full coverage of the tournament available to watch on BBC One, BBC Two and across the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.

With play on Court One starting at 1pm, Murray and Raducanu’s match is unlikely to start until 7pm at the earliest, although it could be later if the men’s match goes long.

Dart became the third Briton to reach the third round when she defeated compatriot Katie Boulter in three sets and now takes on China’s Xinyu Wang, who scored the biggest win of her career in the previous round against fifth seed Jessica Pegula.
