Wimbledon 2026: Dimitrov beats Mensik; Zverev, Swiatek win; Fery carries British hopes – as it happened

Grigor Dimitrov claimed an emotional win against the 15th seed; Alexander Zverev, Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina advanced; while three of the four remaining Brits departed

At 4-3 in the second, Shnaider makes 0-40, Sansonova saving the first break point with a forehand ushered to the corner and the second with a serve out wide and clean-up. But when a return, thudded flat and close to the baseline, arrives, the response falls long, and the French Open semi-finalist will now serve for a decider at 4-6 5-3.

We get going on No1 at 1pm BST, 1.30pm on Centre, but before that, we've close matches on 12 and 18. Samsonova is still holding her own against Shanider, who beat Sabalenka - admittedly with help from Sabalenka herself - on her way to the semis at Roland Garros, leading 6-4 3-3 and refusing to wilt though her opponent has improved. And Fery - who our commentators reckon has the ability to break the top 20 - trails Virtanen 5-7 4-4. Back with our hidings, though, De Minaur has just served out a 6-2 set to lead Mannarino 2-0.
