Number 1 seeds Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic are on show for the second day running on another busy day at Wimbledon.

Djokovic is due on No1 Court at 1pm for a one-set showdown to complete last night's suspended fourth round match against South African Kevin Anderson. Anderson led by two sets but the World No1 staged a dramatic comeback to leave it on a knife-edge at 6-7(6), 6-7(6), 6-1, 6-4. The winner will face reigning US champion Marin Cilic.

All the Ladies' Singles quarter-finals are also scheduled to take place today. Fourth seed Maria Sharapova is first on Centre for her last eight match against Coco Vandeweghe (USA).

That will be followed by Serena Williams versus Belarusian Victoria Azarenka. Williams has a 16-3 record against the two-times Australian Open champion - including a 9-0 record in Grand Slam matches.

Venezuelan-born Spaniard Garbine Muguruza and the Swiss Timea Bacsinszky are second on No1 Court for their quarter-final match-up, and to complete proceedings Madison Keys faces off against 2012 finalist Agnieszka Radwranka.
