Today’s Wimbledon scores and results as Andy Murray questions future and Katie Boulter faces Elena Rybakina

Petra Kvitova is among the early starters on Saturday as the two-time champion faces Serbia’s Natalija Stevanovic on Court Two.

Kvitova is finding form again on her return to Wimbledon but admitted that brings added pressure.

The Czech said: “Everybody knows that I like to play on the grass. It’s my favorite surface. I love it. Doesn’t matter actually where it is.

“Other Grand Slams I am more relaxed than I am here probably. Every time I’m here, I’m trying to be relaxed as well. Not easy (smiling). I’m trying every time.

“I’m still getting older and older. Still with the experience I’m still trying to find it out what I can do new, what I can’t. So far it’s okay, so we’ll see.”

Paula Badosa had to awkwardly inform a reporter she had lost her second-round match after a back injury ended her Wimbledon campaign.

The Spaniard was forced to retire when trailing 6-2 1-0 to Marta Kostyuk after her troublesome stress fracture flared up and she revealed she will not be able to play the mixed doubles with her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas.

To add insult to injury, news of her fitness struggles on Court 18 had clearly not reached an international reporter, who opened her post-match press conference by congratulating her on her victory, prompting a toe-curling exchange.

Cameron Norrie after his straight-sets defeat to Christopher Eubanks: “I think credit to Chris on that one. He played unbelievable. Served well. Came out, was hitting the ball huge. Didn’t miss at all.

“I got outplayed. I couldn’t really get into the match how I wanted. Wasn’t feeling the ball, like, that well today. I fought as hard as I could. Yeah, came up against someone who was really confident. He played great. So he definitely deserved to win the match. I told him that. Everything went his way today, and he deserved it.

“I’m disappointed, like I said. I wanted to play well at the slams. It’s not quite working out for me right now. I’m preparing as well as I can, leaving no stone unturned with my team, my preparation and everything.

“More than anything I’m disappointed. Yeah, I want to play well in slams. I think there’s no reason why not. I’m tougher to beat over five sets. But, yeah, I just need to keep improving.”

The contrast was stark but it seemed oddly fitting. At the same time Andy Murray was recapturing the hearts of the nation with a gutsy, passion-infused five-set defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas on Centre Court, Britain’s actual men’s tennis No 1 was enduring a comparatively low-key loss of his own in front of a two-thirds full, slightly muted Court 1.

Forget moving the needle, Cameron Norrie vs Christopher Eubanks didn’t even have a needle, while Murray vs Tsitsipas was breaking the dial.

Those fans that did stick around to watch the entirety of Norrie’s latest Wimbledon contest ­– rather than joining the exodus at 3-0 in the second set to secure a place on The Hill ahead of Murray coming on to Centre – were treated to a compelling contest.

Liam Broady described the 90 minutes where he, Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie all exited Wimbledon as a “Debbie Downer”.

Broady’s impressive journey ended in the third round after he was unable to produce a repeat of his shock victory of Casper Ruud when beaten 4-6 6-2 7-5 7-5 by Denis Shapovalov.

The defeat ended British interest in the men’s singles as Broady followed Murray and Norrie out on a chastening afternoon for the male home players.

He did get further than his two compatriots, who both went out in the second round, as he matched his best performance at a grand slam, but says that did not count for much.

Asked if he could take any pride out of that, he said: “Not particularly, no. It kind of makes it worse that we’ve all lost on the same day, as well.

“Obviously I’d have preferred for us all to have won. Probably would have felt a bit better if we’d staggered what days we lost on, whereas now it’s a bit of a Debbie Downer, isn’t it?

“For all three of those results to happen on the same day is pretty rough.”

The match did not begin until 8.40pm, an hour later than Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas got under way on Thursday, but Djokovic finished a 6-3 6-1 7-6 (5) victory with 14 minutes to spare.

It certainly did Wawrinka no favours that Djokovic was against the clock as he clicked straight into top gear and pushed the pace at every opportunity.

It was a 31st consecutive victory for Djokovic at the All England Club, equalling Pete Sampras’ best, and the seven-time champion said: “He was two points away from extending this match to another day. Coming to the court we knew it was going to be really tight.

“I know I can always play better, I always have a couple of gears that I can go higher. Hopefully as the tournament progresses I can play better and better.”

Asked how confident he was about being back at Wimbledon next year, Murray said: “I don’t know. Yeah, motivation is obviously a big thing. Continuing having early losses in tournaments like this don’t necessarily help with that.

“Yeah, it’s similar to I guess last year. I had a long think about things, spoke to my family, decided to keep on going. I don’t plan to stop right now. But, yeah, this one will take a little while to get over. Hopefully find the motivation again to keep training, keep pushing, try and keep getting better.”

CENTRE COURT – 13:30 START (8:30 ET)

No.1 COURT – 13:00 START (8:00 ET)

2. Anna Blinkova v Aryna Sabalenka [2]

3. Alexander Zverev (GER) [19] v Matteo Berrettini (ITA)

Katie Boulter is the last Brit standing in the singles at Wimbledon and her mouth-watering clash with reigning champion Elena Rybakina highlights a stacked Saturday at the All England Club.

Friday was a dark day for Brits in the men’s singles draw as Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady all fell by the wayside to leave Boulter as the final home hope – although a clash against powerful Rybakina is a significant obstacle as she looks to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time.

Elsewhere at SW19, men’s No 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz will look to follow up his straight-sets victory over Alexandre Muller on Friday with another over Chile’s Nicolas Jarry 24 hours later as the first match on Centre Court, with an intriguing clash between Ons Jabeur and Bianca Andreescu following before Boulter vs Rybakina as the headline act.

A devastated Andy Murray was left questioning his motivation to keep going after Stefanos Tsitsipas fought back to win their delayed second-round clash on Centre Court.

It was a hugely disappointing way for Murray to mark the 10th anniversary of his career-defining first Wimbledon title, and he is all too aware that his chances for another deep run here are ebbing away.
