 Katie Boulter vs Harriet Dart - LIVE!Harriet Dart produced a dramatic comeback to beat Katie Boulter in a gruelling Battle of Britain at Wimbledon. The 27-year-old, who had lost six of the seven previous meetings between the two, trailed 6-2 in a final set tie-break and was in tears at the back of the court, sensing her opportunity had gone.But she reeled off four points in a row to level it up and then held her nerve, regaining her composure to seal a 4-6 6-1 7-6 win in just under three hours, taking full advantage of a wildly inconsistent display from Boulter. The 32nd seed, who beat Dart on her way to the Nottingham title last month, produced 75 unforced errors over the three sets, more than double Dart’s tally. Most of those came from the misfiring forehand, with the mistakes returning at the worst possible time in the home straight.Dart progressed into the third round and will face Wang Xinyu, who stunned fifth seed Jessica Pegula earlier in the day.

 Jack Draper vs Cameron Norrie LIVE!On a big day of home interest at Wimbledon, the British men’s no1 takes on the British men’s no2 for the first time at SW19. Draper last month replaced Norrie as the top-ranked men’s player in the country, and a win today would see him reach the third round of this home Grand Slam for the first time in his career.Norrie was a semi-finalist at Wimbledon back in 2022 but came into this year's tournament out of form, recording 16 wins and 13 losses ahead of today’s clash. However, he holds a favourable 2-0 career head-to-head record over his friend, which includes a win on grass in 2021.The pair get on well together but Draper says that Norrie "won't like the fact that I'm no1", while the British no2 has piled the pressure on his younger opponent by labelling him as the favourite for this match. Draper came through a marathon five-setter against Elias Ymer to tee up this tie, while Norrie ousted Facundo Diaz Acosta in straight sets. Follow Draper vs Norrie at Wimbledon live below!
