And that’s it for the day session I’m afraid, with all matches on the outside courts cancelled for today. So Johanna Konta and Dan Evans will have to come back tomorrow, as will many others including Daniil Medvedev and Stan Wawrinka.
Novak Djokovic,
Serena Williams, Ashleigh Barty and the
American beanpole Reilly Opelka will still get to play in the night session, which begins in just over an hour’s time, but that’s it from me. Thanks for reading, sorry there wasn’t more to discuss. Do join me again tomorrow and we’ll have reports on the late action. Bye!

Keys rips a cross-court return winner on the forehand side – where else – to break Zhu and end the Chinese player’s brief resistance. A 30th winner from Keys combined with a Zhu error and it’s 40-15, two match points, and Keys takes the match with a stinging serve, her third ace of the day. She’ll be delighted to get through in straight sets and become only the fifth player to win on this wet and near washed-out Wednesday. “I love playing at my home slam and having an amazing crowd behind me,” says the finalist of two years ago. “I got lucky with the rain so it was a little bit more full. Thanks for coming out to cheer for me.”
