Pablo Cuevas may have gone out in the second round but he left his mark, particularly with this spectacular behind-the-back winner during a first-round win over Damir Dzumhur.

Federer’s rematch with Nadal in the semi-finals was the most anticipated but the final eclipsed it. The first four sets had plenty of twists but it was the decider that elevated it to one of the best Wimbledon matches ever.

A solid tournament for the home players, with Johanna Konta doing brilliantly to reach the quarter-finals for the second time but putting in a disappointing performance against Barbora Strycova. Harriet Dart and Dan Evans also reached the third round while Evan Hoyt and Eden Silva out-performed the star mixed doubles pair of Andy Murray and Williams by making the quarter-finals. Andy Lapthorne won the first ever quad wheelchair doubles title alongside Australian Dylan Alcott.
