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

World No 1 and top seed Jannik Sinner has steamrollered the unseeded Miomir Kecmanovic on Centre Court, in truth.

The Italian leads 6-1, 6-4, 5-1 and is just one game from a very simple straight-sets win.

Andy Murray made you care. That was his superpower. There were better players in his era; there were more stylish ones. But none possessed the ability to make you invest emotionally in their matches as much as Murray did.

Defending Murray against accusations of dourness, rudeness, and surliness that arose from his on-court demeanour became a bit of a passion of mine around this time. Murray was not perfect, but that was kind of the point — throughout it all, he was a potent combination of the superhuman and the relatable.

If you were unable to look beyond the lazy tropes about him, then that was you pretty much written off. “If you don’t like Andy Murray then we can’t be friends” became a good mantra to live by.

Clearly, this was all unhinged. But that’s the thing: Andy Murray made you care. Here is why.

What he means.

By the way, unseeded Croatian Donna Vekic has beaten Dayana Yastremska (28) of Ukraine in three sets, 7-6(4), 6-7(3), 6-1.

A reminder: British icon Andy Murray said farewell on Centre Court yesterday after he and brother Jamie lost their first-round men's doubles match against Australians John Peers and Rinky Hijikata.

Here's what happened.

There were five mixed doubles matches due to be played today: they've all been pushed to tomorrow.

Sinner has won the first set, 6-1, against Kecmanovic on Centre.

On Court 1, Donna Vekic is a break up on Dayana Yastremska at 2-0 in the decider.

Jannik Sinner, the world No 1, isn't hanging around against Miomir Kecmanovic.

He's a double break up at 4-0 in the first set.

Elsewhere, in the only other match being played at the moment (because of rain), Dayana Yastremska (28) has taken the second set against Donna Vekic, 7-6(3) after a tiebreak.

They're into a decider on Court 1.

Wimbledon have just announced a partial order of play for tomorrow.

The headline news: Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu will play their mixed doubles first-round match against Marcelo Arevalo/Zhang Shuai fourth on Court 1.

Raducanu continued: "Having your inner passion, win or lose, I'm just trying to win every day. Just giving your best.

"Some days you win the day and play great tennis then that can be enough. Some days you can play amazing tennis and that's the key as long as you give your all every day."

On playing the mixed doubles alongside fellow Brit Andy Murray tomorrow morning, she added: "I'll just take direction and follow his lead. I'll have to do a crash course in doubles tonight but I'll have fun tomorrow regardless.

"Of course, I will cherish the opportunity because it is just such an honour."

Emma Raducanu, speaking after her win, said on court: "I think today was really up there with the most fun I have had on a tennis court, I really enjoyed every single moment.

"I was telling myself you don't know how many times you are going to get the chance in your life to play in front of a full Centre Court so I'm really grateful for the support.

"I'm most proud of how focused and determined I was in every single point, in every single moment. Maria is a top 10 opponent. In a way, I came in with a free swing.

"But she is so tough, she has amazing weapons, I knew I had to battle. I tried to not let the scoreline affect me. You just have to play every point like it could be your last, not to be dramatic!"

That was some performance from Raducanu, saving all seven of the break points she faced and smothering her opponent with some devastating returns.

She didn’t have a top-10 win in her career until last week, now she has two.

And with qualifier Lulu Sun in the fourth round, Raducanu is suddenly a favourite to reach the quarterfinals.

Emma Raducanu slips as she hits a winner but still wins the point.

And she holds to go 5-3 up in the second set.

One game from the match, and the fourth round...

Project Federer begins now.
