Brit watch

With no Brits left in the singles draws, Murray is flying the flag in the mixed doubles. 'Murena' – the nickname chosen by Williams – have breezed through the first two rounds, but face a tougher test against top seeds Bruno Soares and Nicole Melichar

Match of the day

Federer's showdown with Kei Nishikori is the only one of the four matches to have tallied with the seedings. Eight-time winner Federer bowed out at the same stage last year to Kevin Anderson, while Nishikori won their last meeting at the ATP Finals in December.
