Great Britain have no players left in the singles events at Wimbledon thanks to Elena Rybakina's crushing win over Katie Boulter on Centre Court in the third round.

The defending champion wrapped up a straight-sets triumph in the headline match with under an hour on the clock, dropping just two games in an emphatic 6-1 6-1 success over a misfiring Boulter.

Seemingly fully recovered from her respiratory illness, Rybakina fired seven aces and converted four of the six break points that she fashioned, taking her second match point with a powerful forehand winner.

Earlier in the day on Centre Court, men's top seed Carlos Alcaraz came through a tricky four-set battle with Chile's Nicolas Jarry, taking just under four hours to prevail 6-3 6-7[6] 6-3 7-5.

Watched on by a plethora of sporting icons - including Lionesses Leah Williamson, Beth Mead, Fran Kirby and Jill Scott in the Royal Box - Alcaraz struggled somewhat on serve with seven double faults in the second half of the match.

However, Jarry only managed to convert one of his four chances to break Alcaraz in the second set, and the Spaniard held his nerve to set up a fourth-round battle with Matteo Berrettini, who finished the day's Court One action by defeating Alexander Zverev in straight sets.

The Italian won 86% of points on his first serve and kept his cool in a pair of tie-breakers to prevail 6-3 7-6[4] 7-6[5], advancing on his third match point with a 15th ace of the evening.

Meanwhile, last year's women's runner-up Ons Jabeur recovered from a set down to defeat Canadian Bianca Andreescu on Centre Court, where rain and the subsequent closure of the roof forced a lengthy delay.

Jabeur won just six of her receiving points in the first set but came storming back to succeed 3-6 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 48 minutes, clinching the win on her fifth ace which Andreescu unsuccessfully tried to challenge.

Jabeur has been rewarded with a showdown against two-time winner Petra Kvitova, who ended the journey of Serbian qualifier Natalija Stevanovic with a 6-3 7-5 triumph, while Aryna Sabalenka also triumphed in straight sets, defeating Anna Blinkova 6-2 6-3.

While Blinkova's run came to an end, Russian compatriot Daniil Medvedev recovered from an early wobble to beat Marton Fucsovics 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-4, despite winning just 40% of points behind his second serve.

Showing few ill-effects from his two-day slog with Andy Murray, Stefanos Tsitsipas overcame Laslo Djere 6-4 7-6[5] 6-4, and standing in his way of a quarter-final berth is Cameron Norrie's conqueror Christopher Eubanks, who remarkably prevailed in three tie-breakers against Christopher O'Connell to win 7-6[5] 7-6[3] 7-6[2].

Holger Rune and Jiri Lehecka were both taken to five sets in their battles with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Tommy Paul respectively, but the Dane and Czech both came up trumps, with Rune benefitting from a bizarre and ultimately unsuccessful underarm serve from Davidovich Fokina in the fifth-set tie-breaker.

Beatriz Haddad Maia, Madison Keys and Ekaterina Alexandrova also prevailed in straight sets before play on the outside courts was concluded for the night, forcing the suspension of 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva's battle with compatriot Anastasia Potapova.
