Jódar's out, beaten in four sets (6-1 6-7(5) 4-6 4-6) by Mochizuki in the last 32!

 Mochizuki won the Wimbledon singles boys' title - he knows how to make grasscourt tennis work for him

 I believe a good court. But still an interesting selection for the remaining Brit in singles R3, on the verge of entering the top 100 vs the Eastbourne winner.

The winner of Fery vs Bergs will play the winner of Dimitrov vs Berrettini for a place in the QF, in an eighth of the draw which has lost its 4 seeds.

Totally bizarre scheduling. I kind of get the Centre Court offering but not to put Arthur on Court 1 is plain weird.

Who would the typical Wimbledon-goer rather see - Bublik v Tiafoe or the last home hope?

Wouldn't happen in any of the other slam countries

 Yes, utterly bizarre

And at the same time, the organisers are bending themselves over backwards, changing the whole schedule, just to try and get the Williams sisters doubles in, when both women have skipped press interviews, showing what they thinkg of the Committee

Wrong loyalty, chaps

 That doesn't surprise me. I was there on Wednesday watching his match with Carreno Busta and he nearly lost then. Occasional flashes of brilliance but Carreno Busta had the better all round game and was working the points effectively.

Another one who was flashy but without much other substance on grass was Cobolli. Match was boring like watching a clay court.

The best match I saw was Medvedev winning who displayed such skill and feel for the grass. Disappointed to see he lost today

There weren't many Brits to watch on Wednesday but saw Joe+ playing Marcus and David Stevenson. Hadn't seen David before. He was explosive and pro-active at the net. Marcus was looking good, enjoying the crowd and in better shape than I've seen him before. Joe was surprisingly subdued. His experience showed, but otherwise not playing well.

Yes, my "interesting" was a bit of a euphemism.

Apparently, as Arthur only found out afterwards, Princess Kate watched him on Court 18 on Thursday. Maybe she's got more idea of what's worth watching in the British Slam! Dragged Tim Henman along with her.

I dont understand Berrettini v Dimitrov. Arthur could have taken that slot. TBH some of the matches have been pretty boring and nothing has really blown me away yet.

Dimitrov vs Berrittini is definitely a centre court match!

Maybe Arthur requested a smaller court?

Dimitrov and Berrettini is most definitely a centre court match, Id have that top match of the tournie so far.

Bottom half of draw looks much tougher than top now, if Arthur survives Bergs, he plays winner of Dimi and Berrettini - that will certainly be on one of the two big courts.

If.
