- 2 A dejected Roger Federer departs Court One after his defeat

Jamie Murray remained on course to defend his mixed doubles title with new partner Victoria Azarenka.

Scot Murray and former singles world No 1 Azarenka moved into the quarterfin­als with a 7- 6 (8/6), 6-3 win over Matwe Middelkoop and Johanna Larsson.

Heather Watson branded a line judge a “snitch” after being reported to the chair umpire for swearing in her women’s doubles match.

Watson and her partne rT at jan a Maria were docked a point in their 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 quarter-final defeat to Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova after the official accused Watson of foul language.

Watson fiercely denied the language accusation and said: “It’s literally like a snitch running to the front of the class saying, ‘I heard her say this!’. I think it is so stupid.”
