Shelton 1-0* Fucsovics
Away we go as Ben Shelton faces Márton Fucsovics.
The American starts with the serve and quickly takes the first game.
This match has been pushed back a while but Ben Shelton and Márton Fucsovics are finally taking the grass.
Both players played briefly yesterday after their matches on Thursday were postponed due to darkness.
You might be surprised when you hear what one of Iga Świątek's favorite meals is...
Barbora Krejčíková was not feeling her best today but still put forth a gutsy effort on the grass.

FINAL: Świątek 6-2, 6-3 Collins
No. 8 Iga Świątek won 61 of 103 points, beating Danielle Collins in straight sets to advance the fourth round.
She will face No. 23 Clara Tauson next, who eliminated No. 11 Elena Rybakina in straight sets earlier today. Getty Images
FINAL: Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, 3-6 Navarro
Navarro has triple match point but Krejčíková pulls out a beautiful backhand, ripping it down the line. However, on the next point, Krejčíková fires a return shot into the net and that will do it.

Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, 3-5* Navarro
This is a tough scene...
After Krejčíková drops the point, she takes a moment to herself near the back wall and appears to be in tears, clearly not feeling her best. The crowd gives her a cheer of support.
Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, 3-4* Navarro
Another game, another break. Krejčíková is persevering but she does not look like herself. She gets a double fault and then moment later, she pushes a backhand wide to drop the point.

Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, *3-3 Navarro
Whatever is plaguing Krejčíková is visible yet she somehow mustered the ability to break Navarro to even this deciding set 3-3.
She looks a step slower and her shot is not as powerful but she continues to battle.
FINAL: Dimitrov 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7) Ofner
Grigor Dimitrov is through to the fourth round where he will face the No. 1 seeded Jannik Sinner.
Dimitrov recorded 15 aces in his win today, which was his 100th Grand Slam win.
Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, 2-3* Navarro
Another break, this time for Navarro. Holding double break point, she blasts a backhand down the line that gave Krejčíková no chance of returning the shot.
After the game, Krejčíková was examined by the medical staff after feeling faint. Moments later, she grabs her racket and returns to the court.
Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, *2-2 Navarro
After having her serve broken, Krejčíková returns the favor. Navarro attempts to play a dropshot just over the net but unfortunately for her, the shot just does not have enough power.
This match could come down to the wire.
FINAL: Alexandrova 6-3, 7-6 (7) Sönmez
Impressive showing by Ekaterina Alexandrova to advance past Zeynep Sönmez in straight sets, though the second one required a tiebreak. She excelled returning serve, winning 33 receiving points and going 4-6 on break points.
Barbora Krejčíková has just missed five break points on the Emma Navarro serve to open up a 2-0 lead at the start of the third and final set.
Instead Navarrro holds and the defending champion is now 3/14 on break points. It gets worse for Krejčíková as she's broken to love in the next game, and having been a set and a break up is now on the brink of elimination. Getty Images
Świątek 6-2, 0-0* Collins
In 39 minutes, Iga Świątek has taken the opening set against Danielle Collins.
Everything has gone the former world No. 1's way as Collins ended up slipping and landing on the ground a couple of times in that set.
Some 13 unforced errors from the American show where she can improve heading into the second set. She has gone off court for a short break.
Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, *1-1 Navarro
Krejčíková had triple break point in the second game of the third set but Navarro pulled it all the way back. Krejčíková got two more break points after that and still couldn't take the point as an unforced error leads to her dropping the point.
Big stand for the American.
This match appears to hang on Świątek's first-serve percentage. She has made just over 50 percent, but is winning over 85 percent of the points when she does.
Świątek 5-2 Collins
No holding back from Collins, who's hit six winners and 13 unforced errors in the first six games.
She's had her chances but Świątek has come up with some big serves at key moments - fending off two break points to hold for 5-1.
