Amanda Anisimova vs Coco Gauff
20-year-old Amanda Anisimova, who is the 20th seed rallied from a set down to defeat compatriot Coco Gauff, seeded No.11, in her Centre Court debut to reach the fourth round at the Championships for the first time.

Former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep soared into the fourth round of the Championships on Saturday with a commanding 6-4 6-1 victory over Poland’s Magdalena Frech.
The 30-year-old Romanian, who returned to the All England Club this year for the first time since winning the grasscourt major in 2019, came into match having beaten Frech in both their previous meetings.
Harmony Tan vs Katie Boulter
France’s Harmony Tan continued her stellar Wimbledon debut on Saturday to book her maiden fourth-round spot at a Grand Slam, crushing Briton Katie Boulter 6-1 6-1 in just 51 minutes.
