  Laura. Laura, Laura... that is what I was thinking 40 or so minutes ago when she lost the first set against Erakovic 1-6. But then she found her game and managed to squeeze the second set 7-5. Racing into a 4-0 lead on the third, she then loses her serve to make it 4-1... Nail biting stuff, but she should have this...
  Come on Laura.....
  
  A hold each to make it 5-2 then Laura has a match break point that she fails to convert, so it's 5-3 and hers to serve out...
  A nervous start to the game but Laura Robson wins 6-3 and so advances to round 4 where she'll probably face Kaia Kanepi who is yet to play Alison Riske.
  
  WELL DONE LAURA...

  Cracking effort.
  
  2 decent British players now. We are truly spoilt.

  Some quotes from Andy Murray earlier.
  
  "It's been a good start, I thought I played well last night, and I hope I keep improving. It will get tougher and I'll get pushed more and more as the tournament goes on.
  
  "The first few days are tough, you're eager to get going then you're tense. But I feel used it now and more relaxed. I believe I can win Wimbledon and I have a chance, but I need to play my best tennis to have a chance of winning it. You can take nothing for granted and you have to be ready."
  
  He's sounding confident.

  So that's it for Laura Robson. She did well to reach the 2nd week but has just lost 6-7 (6-8) 5-7 to Kaia Kanepi in the last 16.
  
  Andy Murray's up at 15:30, lets hope he gives us more to cheer about!

  Serena Williams has gone now too.

  Murray breaks serve in the first set and is currently 1-3 up.
  
  He's going well.

  Murray's dropped 4 games in a row and now trails 5-2 in the 2nd set. Doesn't look happy either.
  
  He won the 1st set 6-4 but it's looking like it could be 1-1 before long.

  So Murray fought back from 5-2 down to take the second set 7-6 after a tie-break.
  
  Great comeback, and surely Youzhny will need a miracle now to get anything out of this match.

  Murray takes it in straight sets 6-4 7-6 6-1, making it look all too easy in the final set, especially after his wobble in the second.
  
  It's Fernando Verdasco in the quarters and on this form, you'd put your house on him making the semis.

  This is definitely NOT an upset. I'm absolutely delighted!
