Wimbledon 2024 live updates: Day five reaction as Coco Gauff, Sinner and Raducanu win, Frances Tiafoe out

Coco Gauff just broke British qualifier Sonay Kartal for the third time in this second set.

She leads 5-0 and is serving for the match.

At the 2022 U.S. Open, Frances Tiafoe was at the peak of his powers, and took Carlos Alcaraz to the brink of defeat.

Entering Wimbledon 2024, Tiafoe was in a slump, and that kind of performance looked beyond him.

Instead, he took Alcaraz to the edge once again, announcing his return to the world, even in defeat.

The Athletic's Matthew Futterman has the background on his slump, and how he climbed out. Read it below.

Coco Gauff is such a great player in full flight.

She's just won her fifth game in a row, double break to the American, she leads Kartal 3-0 in the second.

Exactly the start Sonay Kartal didn't want.

She's broken to love by Coco Gauff in the first game of the second set.

If Gauff holds her serve from here on in, she will take the match, too.

Raducanu was 15-40 down, two break back points for Maria Sakkari, but the Brit has held on. She leads 2-0. Plenty of drama so far!

And Kartal bravely took Gauff to deuce but the second seed converted the second set point, taking it 6-4.

...with contrasting fortunes for the Brits.

Emma Raducanu has broken Sakkari first up following a double fault, and will serve to make it 2-0 in the first set.

While, frustratingly for Sonay Kartal, she has been broken back immediately by Gauff, who leads 5-4. A lovely forehand winner down the line from Gauff set that up.

Gauff is serving for the first set.

And another Brit, the unseeded Emma Raducanu, is facing ninth seed Maria Sakkari on Centre Court.

Remarkably, it's the first time Raducanu is playing a seeded player at Wimbledon.

Oh, brilliant stuff from the British qualifier Sonay Kartal, who is playing maybe the biggest match of her career.

The 22-year-old from London trailed second seed, and massive favourite Coco Gauff, by a break, but has just broken the American back on Court 1.

It's now 4-4 and back on serve in the first set.

That is Gauff's first break against her at the tournament.

There was a deserved ovation for the American.

He was so good for so much of the match.

Cross-court forehands traded, before a stunner of a forehand from Alcaraz paints the line with Tiafoe unable to change direction.

Then a casual drop shot, so calm and cool, that Tiafoe does so well to get to, but Alcaraz is in the right position to angle away a drop volley into open court.

40-0 and three match points...

And he finishes with a wonderful, wonderful, drop shot. Tiafoe doesn't even move. He's just rooted to the spot.

Tiafoe has fought so hard but, possibly hindered by injury, has been unable to live with Alcaraz's extra gear in that final set. To be fair, I don't think anyone in the world or the next could have matched the 21-year-old's level.

Game, set, and match to Carlos.

And we have a second match on court!

Coco Gauff, the American and second seed, is facing British qualifier Sonay Kartal on Court 1.

And she's already broken Kartal in the very first game of the match.

Serving to make it 2-0.

Tiafoe won the first point of Alcaraz's service game but couldn't win a point thereafter. Alcaraz holds, and the man from Murcia pumps his fist in celebration.

Tiafoe needs something here. A spark, anything. He looks drained. He didn't bend down to pick up a ball on the floor moments ago, maybe not wanting to hurt his knee after he jarred it at the end of the fourth set.

An incredible shot from Alcaraz, another, and Tiafoe can only grin wryly. He's up against a juggernaut. 30-15 Tiafoe.

Oh, no. Alcaraz is on the back foot, well behind the baseline, at the mercy of Tiafoe, who comes to the net... but with the whole court to aim at, nets. Disappointing. He hangs his head in frustration.

But he holds! He at least makes Alcaraz serve it out.

Wow.

Carlos Alcaraz looks like a man on a mission and has broken Frances Tiafoe here.

He had two break points at 15-40, Tiafoe came to the net, Alcaraz smashed an 89miles-per-hour backhand cross-court, Tiafoe had a play on the backhand volley but left it to watch it go out... except it landed in.

Kissing the line, it sealed the game and maybe the beginning of the end of the match, and Tiafoe's tournament.

We don't want you missing out on all the other action too! So, without further ado...
