WALKDEN 6-4 DENIZ
End of the first period and Walkden now holds a lead.
A great head-kick from Bianca sends here into the lead before her opponent responds with a punch.
Slight concern as the doctor is called after a punch to the face to Walkden and there’s a timeout. Thankfully, she is OK to continue.

A promising start for the Kazakh who races to a 3-0 lead after a punch before finding the trunk.
Walkden on the board with a punch.
WALKDEN ARRIVES

HOCKEY STANDINGS
Great Britain in a good position to qualify despite this morning’s thumping.
They sit in third in Pool B with the top four qualifying for the quarter-finals.
OSAKA IS OUT!
The golden girl of Tokyo 2020 is OUT as Naomi Osaka loses in her third round match.
She lit the cauldron on Friday night but was missing a spark this morning.
Osaka loses in straight sets to world No42 Marketa Vondrousova from the Czech Republic.
With Ash Barty also out, the women’s draw blows wide open.
FT! GREAT BRITAN 1-5 GERMANY
The Germans with a dominant display as they take the points.
Britain held an early lead through Roper against the run of play.
But since then, the Germans took control.
GOAL! GREAT BRITAIN 1-5 GERMANY
A disappointing afternoon is capped off with another German goal.

But as the red jerseys all wait for each other to clear it, Fuchs pounces to knock home another for him and for Germany.
ON SERVE
Osaka still struggling to break down Vondrousova.
The Czech serving out a nervy service game to take a 4-3 lead in the second set.

America’s Rashida Ellis to come in the round of 16.
GOAL! GREAT BRITAIN 1-4 GERMANY

SHOCK ON THE CARDS?
The Olympic Games poster girl Naomi Osaka is a set down to world number 42 Marketa Vondrousova.
The Czech takes the opening set 6-1 in just under 25 minutes.
Is the pressure too much on Osaka? Or can she use ‘home advantage’ to her advantage?
GOAL! GREAT BRITAIN 1-2 GERMANY
Britain receive a green card and their opponents pounce.
It’s worked wide on the left to Christopher Ruhr, who has a go at goal from a tight angle.
But what an effort it is, flying past Payne in goal and just under the crossbar.
PEATY REACTS
Adam Peaty with a social media shout out for the British pair earlier this morning.
NO SIGN YET
The players remain in the locker room as the outer courts are still out of action for the tennis.
Wind and rain causing havoc, just a few days after players complained the weather was too warm.
There’s some irony in there somewhere.
HT IN THE HOCKEY: GREAT BRITAIN 1 GERMANY 1
Fuchs’ goal cancels out the earlier Roper opener.
Germany have undoubtedly created the most chances with Payne being the busier of the two keepers.
TSITSIPAS REVENGE
Last month saw the shock defeat of Stefanos Tsitsipas to American Frances Tiafoe in the Wimbledon first round.
The Greek appears to have learned that difficult lesson as he goes through in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.
