• As James mentioned, Wozniacki beat Leylah Fernandez 6-3, 2-6, 7-5

Caroline Wozniacki is serving for the match on Court One as the clock goes past 22:25, and now she has two match points after Fernandez blasts what looked like a winning return narrowly wide...

40-15. And that's it, as Fernandez sends a ball long. Wozniacki through to the third round of Wimbledon for the first time since 2017.

Did someone mention an exit poll?

From all British fans.

Anyone chopping onions?

The 37-year-old concluded: "It is hard because I would love to keep playing but I can't. Physically it's just too tough now. All of the injuries have added up and like I said they haven't been insignificant.

"I want to play forever. I love this sport. It's given me so much, taught me loads of lessons over the years that I can use for the rest of my life. I don't want to stop so it is hard."

Speaking after his match, he hailed his parents, saying: "Mum and Dad have been amazing support, still today, but when we were little and allowing us to go and pursue our dreams.

"Jamie left home to go to train when he was 12, then he moved to Paris. I left to go over to Spain.

"I know now having children how, I don't even like them being away for a day so allowing us to go and train abroad and pursue our dreams, we couldn't have done that without their support so thank you mum and dad."

Caroline Wozniacki and Leylah Fernandez were locked at 1-1 and 3-3 when darkness forced their match to stop.

With rain forecast tomorrow, and the tournament just one match — this one! — away from catching up to everybody playing the third round, the match is being finished on Court One. The floodlights are on, the roof is closed, and it's kind of eerie in here.

Wozniacki has saved two match points at 4-5, and has just recovered from a deep and challenging Fernandez return to go on the attack and take the advantage... and she takes the game with a classic one-two punch of serve out wide and forehand cross.

5-5, final set. Don't go anywhere (he says to himself).

Murray added: "I'm not never going to come back here!

"It depends who I'm watching. I hate watching my brother. I find it really difficult to watch my brother play. I love tennis. I watch it all the time.

"I would probably be more comfortable sitting up there in a coaching box rather than somewhere else."

He said: "2016 was really different. I felt way less pressure and the enjoyment I got out of that win was totally different to 2013. I had an amazing evening that night with my all friends and family, properly went out and enjoyed it with the people closest to me.

"Of my Slams, 2016 was my favourite one. I don't remember much of that night. I had a few drinks and I did unfortunately vomit in the cab on the way home."

We've all been there.

He said: "When I got off the court, I didn't remember any of what had happened but I have watched that game back a few times and some of the stuff he was coming up with on the match points was incredible.

"If I had lost that game, it would have been very hard to go on to win. Amazing last game. With my tennis, it's always been a bit of a struggle so that last game was always going to be a bit of a struggle."

With your tennis? Your tennis is incredible, Andrew.

Talking about playing the 'Big Three' of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, he said: "They were alright weren't they?

"They weren't the easiest guys to get past. I was obviously incredibly fortunate to play in this time and I think all tennis fans have been incredibly lucky to witness what they've obviously gone on to achieve.

"It's been incredible to watch what they've done. It's been incredible to be a part of some of the matches in major championships with them over the years. I was fortunate to manage to get through them a couple of time in big moments but what a time to be on the tour."

Looking back on his loss against Roger Federer in the 2012 Wimbledon final, he said: "It's always really difficult to speak after a loss, particularly after a Grand Slam final and being at Wimbledon.

"That's the closest I had been and it was obviously difficult. It was quite an important moment in my career. I'm not saying I'm the most outgoing or bubbly personality, but I think people probably saw how much I cared about the sport for the first time maybe.

"Obviously it was an important match and an important moment in my career."

He goes on to say he can imagine himself being more comfortable in the coaches box at Wimbledon rather than the Royal Box, hinting at a future in coaching.

Interesting!

He drew laughs from the crowd, characteristically, as he added: "Two of my kids are up there and it's way past their bedtime."

Better wrap things up sharpish then!

Andy Murray opened up to Sue Barker on how special it was playing alongside brother Jamie today.

He said: "Yeah, it was obviously really special. We never got the chance to do it before. There was a chance this year.

"Jamie's usual partner was playing with Neal Skupski so he asked me. Obviously it was a bit of a race against time to try to get out here and physically it wasn't easy today but I'm glad we were able to get out there and do this one last time."

This is emotional all right.

Murray is wiping away the tears.
