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.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Wimbledon action. We'll be bringing you live updates from the biggest matches of the day, with Serena Williams, Johanna Konta and Simona Halep all taking to court in the women's quarter-finals.

Coverage gets under way at 11am, so make sure to tune in!

We've had legendary coach Nick Bollettieri writing for us throughout this year's Championships.

Here's what he had to say about Ashleigh Barty's disappointing last-16 defeat:

[9 July 2019 10:12 · Samuel Lovett]

While yesterday may have brought to a close Cori Gauff's fairytale run, the nature of her defeat to Simona Halep certainly reaffirmed the Romanian's Wimbledon credentials.

"That she swatted Gauff aside so ruthlessly — 6-3, 6-3 in an economical 75-minutes — is testament to the huge strides forward she has made in recent years," writes Luke Brown:

[9 July 2019 10:49 · Samuel Lovett]

Former Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza has split with her coach Sam Sumyk after a disappointing season, the Spaniard said on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old former world No 1 lost in the opening round of Wimbledon to Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia, the fifth Grand Slam in a row she had fallen before the quarter-finals.

"Few words to announce the end of an extraordinary ride, 2 Grand Slams and World N0 1. Beyond grateful for this last 4 years. Merci Sam," Muguruza said on Twitter.

Muguruza hired Frenchman Sumyk, formerly the coach of Victoria Azarenka and Eugenie Bouchard, in 2015 and won the French Open that year and Wimbledon in 2017.

Despite winning a title this year in Monterrey, she has slid down the WTA rankings and entered Wimbledon down at No 27.
