Fifteen-year-old Cori Gauff’s fairytale Wimbledon continues on Manic Monday when she faces former world number one Simona Halep.

Brit watch

Konta is the only one flying the flag for Britain now in the singles after Dan Evans and Harriet Dart bit the dust on Saturday. The 28-year-old has Centre Court billing against Petra Kvitova.

Match of the day

Konta has got a huge job on her hands if she is to make the quarter-finals. Kvitova, a two-time champion at SW19, has yet to drop a set so far and has spent just over three-and-a-half hours on court. But the battling qualities the Brit showed when coming back from one-set down against Sloane Stephens will stand her in good stead against the Czech, who is also hampered by an arm injury. A three-setter may be on the cards.

Potential Upset

Petra Martic has steadily gone about her business at Wimbledon with deciding-set victories over Jennifer Brady, Anastasia Potapova and Danielle Collins. The Croatian has had a good season and won her first WTA title in Istanbul in April. Eighth seed Elina Svitolina has beaten her in their last three matches, including twice at the French Open, but this will be their first meeting on grass. The Ukrainian was going out until Margarita Gasparyan retired with injury in the second round and only just squeezed past Maria Sakkari in the last, meaning world number 24 Martic could pull off a shock.
