Brit watch

Johanna Konta is second on Court One against former US Open champion Sloane Stephens, whom she thrashed 6-1 6-4 at the French Open a couple of months ago. Harriet Dart faces a formidable challenge against world number one Ashleigh Barty, and Dan Evans takes on Portugal's Joao Sousa. Andy Murray's doubles link-up with Serena Williams will also take place after it was shelved on Friday night.

Match of the day

Wimbledon 2017 – Day Six – The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

Rafael Nadal's draw doesn't get any easier. Two days after dispatching Nick Kyrgios in a titanic second-round tussle, the Spaniard faces Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, twice a semi-finalist at the All England Club. Tsonga has tumbled down the rankings in recent years but remains a dangerous opponent.

Potential Upset

Kei Nishikori has been knocked out in the third round or earlier in seven of his 10 Wimbledon appearances, making the quarter-finals just once. Steve Johnson could send the eighth seed packing before the second week yet again.
