A record number of British singles tennis players advanced past day one of this year's Wimbledon.
But as the Grand Slam tournament enters into its second week, how is the home-grown talent faring in SW19?
Who is still in?
Cameron Norrie
The last Briton standing in the singles draw is Cameron Norrie.
The British No 3 booked his place in the quarter-finals after toppling Chile's Nicolas Jarry in a five-set epic on Sunday.
Norrie came close to dropping out of the top 100 earlier this season but entered SW19 ranked 61 in the world. He is now only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Andy Murray.
Speaking after his win over Jarry, he described coming back from injury and pushing himself to try and get to the top of the game.
"I've been a dedicated professional and good team around me. These moments, it's the icing on the cake. It was a well-deserved fall to the floor I think," he said - referring to him collapsing after bagging the win after a gruelling four-hour match.
The former British No 1 will next face Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday for a place in the semi-finals.
Who has been knocked out?
Emma Raducanu
The current British women's No 1 started her Wimbledon campaign strong, defeating former champion Marketa Vondrousova to reach the third round.
However, it was the women's world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka that ended Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon run.
The 22-year-old smiled through tears in her post-match press conference as she balanced disappointment at the result with the satisfaction of having come so close.
"I think previously, when I was playing those top-five players, it was pretty convincing, the loss. So I think to really push," she said.
"[But] there's still a lot of things that I want to do better, a lot of things I want to improve to really solidify my game so that in the big moments I can back myself a little bit more."
Sonay Kartal
British No 3 Sonay Kartal's impressive run was ended with a fourth round loss to Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Kartal was eventually overpowered by the 34-year-old former French Open finalist in a 7-6 (3) 6-4 defeat, but the result was overshadowed by a problem with the electronic line-calling system that led Pavlyuchenkova to allege home bias.
Despite not going further in the tournament, Kartal has proven she is a force to be reckoned with in the sport.
"I'm proud of the week that I've had, for sure," she said after the defeat.
"I've proved to myself that I can go deep into slams, I can beat some of the best players on tour. I'm going to go away with a lot of motivation."
Jack Draper
British hopes in the men's draw were resting on the shoulders of world No 4 Jack Draper, but he crashed out in the second round at the hands of former finalist Marin Cilic.
Cilic, 36, rolled back the years with a stunning performance, hitting 53 winners in a 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4 victory.
The defeat will be a crushing blow for Draper, who has yet to go beyond the second round at his home grand slam.
Dan Evans
Dan Evans was knocked out of this year's tournament by seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.
The pair battled it out on Centre Court on Thursday, with the Serb winning in straight sets.
"I knew it was going to be a special atmosphere on the court today, a Brit in Britain is never easy to face," Djokovic said after the match.
"He's a good quality player that possesses a lot of talent."
Other Brits who didn't quite make it
Qualifier Oliver Tarvet's dream run sadly came to an end, but not after a spirited 6-1 6-4 6-4 second-round loss to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz - all while on Centre Court.
Billy Harris also fell short of the third round after losing to Portugal's Nuno Borges.
Other players out of the men's draw include: Jay Clarke, Johannus Monday, George Loffhagen, Henry Searle, Oliver Crawford, and Jack Pinnington Jones.
While in the women's game, Heather Watson, Harriet Dart, Jodie Burrage, and Francesca Jones have been eliminated.
Also knocked out are Hannah Klugman, Mimi Xu and Mika Stojsavljevic, the three teenagers who were all handed Wimbledon wildcards for their exceptional performances.
Evans had won their only previous career meeting, in Monte Carlo four years ago.
He had arrived at this year's Wimbledon as a wild card, ranking No 154 in the world.
Despite expertly navigating her way into the second round of Wimbledon, Katie Boulter suffered defeat against Argentina's Solana Sierra.
The loss means she has still never progressed beyond the third round at any of the sport's four major tournaments. It is also the second time in a row she has not made it beyond the second round at Wimbledon
"Of course it hurts, it's a really tough pill to swallow - it always is here," said Boulter.
Arthur Fery
British wild card Arthur Fery was unable to mount a comeback as his second-round tie with Luciano Darderi, which started on Wednesday, resumed on Thursday on Court Two with the Italian two sets up.
Darderi took the third set to secure a 6-4 6-3 6-3 victory in two hours and 21 minutes.
