The British No 3 Anne Keothavong suffered a heavy second-round defeat by Roberta Vinci in the Luxembourg Open yesterday.

For a fourth year in succession Andy Murray is two victories away from becoming Britain's first men's Wimbledon singles champion since Fred Perry in 1936. Murray's 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 victory over Spain's David Ferrer took him into a semi-final tomorrow against France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who has won just one of their six meetings.

Juan Martin del Potro has not always been at his best on grass, but the 23-year-old Argentinian delivered one of his finest Wimbledon performances here yesterday to reach the fourth round for only the second time in his career.

Despite the consensus that there have only ever been four legitimate contenders, the men's tournament remains animated by plenty of colour and quality on the periphery.

It probably breaks their own regulations, but the Health and Safety Executive has gone to war with Wimbledon. As the rain tumbled down, its chief executive opened hostilities yesterday morning only to be greeted with a withering return of fire from the All England Club. By the time the clouds had cleared, they had cleared the HSE's tanks off their lawns.

Andy Roddick has become something of a Wimbledon fixture over the last decade and fans know exactly what they are going to get when they pay to watch the American No 8 seed.
