Wimbledon Championships in numbers

The women’s singles take centre stage at Wimbledon on Tuesday as we approach the business end of the third Grand Slam of the season.

An all-American clash gets us underway on Centre Court, as Alison Riske takes on Serena Williams, before home hope Johanna Konta plays Barbora Strycova.

On Court No.1, Simona Halep — who knocked out 15-year-old sensation Coco Gauff on Monday — plays Zhang Shuai for a place in the semi-finals. Then, Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina takes on Karolina Muchova.

There will also be plenty of doubles action, with Andy Murray and Serena Williams in action later in the day.

Riske 4-4 Williams*

WILLIAMS BREAKS!

And like the last Riske service game, Serena gets it done on the third attempt as Riske miscues a backhand wide. 

Can either player hold serve?! Serena will try next..

[9 July 2019 13:43 · Kieran Jackson]

*Riske 4-5 Williams

Of course Serena can. 

A comfortable hold to love, brutally efficient serving. 

Riske, after having two breaks here, will now serve to stay in the first set.

[9 July 2019 13:44 · Kieran Jackson]

COURT 1 UPDATE 

Back on serve over on Court No 1: 4-3 Zheng with Halep serving next.

[9 July 2019 13:46 · Kieran Jackson]

*Riske 4-5 Williams (15-40)

You can't afford to drop your level against Serena, not even a little bit. 

A few poor Riske errors from the back of the court, and it's TWO SET POINTS for Williams...

[9 July 2019 13:49 · Kieran Jackson]

Riske 4-6 Williams*

WILLIAMS WINS THE FIRST SET!

Riske saves the first but can't save the second.

She looks in control of the point when approaching the net, but a loopy backhand by Serena forces Riske into a volley heading backwards, and instead of taking the gamble of letting it go, she tries to get a racket to it but it hits the frame and goes nowhere. 

A first set somewhat stolen by Serena in the blink of an eye!

[9 July 2019 13:53 · Kieran Jackson]

*Riske 4-6 0-1 Williams

Williams holds, serving it out at advantage with an ace which clips the line out wide. 

Important game coming up next for Riske...

[9 July 2019 13:57 · Kieran Jackson]

Riske 4-6 1-1 Williams*

Gutsy hold to 30 that by Riske, who is remaining doggedly diligent with her flat shots deep in the court.

A Williams error gives her the game - Serena looks frustratingly over at her box...

[9 July 2019 13:58 · Kieran Jackson]

Blimey...

[9 July 2019 14:01 · Kieran Jackson]

Riske 4-6 1-1 Williams* (40-40)

A couple of errors and winners apiece, and we're at deuce.

[9 July 2019 14:02 · Kieran Jackson]

*Riske 4-6 1-2 Williams

Some big serving by Serena gets her out of jail.

2-1, second set.
