For the home crowd at Wimbledon today will see their hero, former world No.1 Andy Murray back on court – where his match against Canadian Denis Shapovalov will draw a big TV audience in the UK.
Shapovalov has only played one match so far after Spaniard Pablo Andujar pulled out with a rib injury, but he will provide Murray with his biggest test yet.
Earlier in the day Centre Court will provide a women’s singles match between two in-form players that could go to three sets.
Tunisian Ons Jabeur has become the first Arab woman to win WTA title (Birmingham) but her opponent, Spaniard Garbine Muguruza, is in superb form.
No Novak Djokovic on the main court today, he is on No 1 Court, and will face the last qualifier left in the draw Denis Kudla.
Court No 3 could be where the real action is as Italian Fabio Fognini meets Russian Andrey Rublev, then Argentine Diego Schwartzman up against Marton Fucsovics.
And out on Court 18, star of earlier rounds, Frances Tiafoe, faces big-hitter Karen Khachanov.
