Paula Badosa forced to correct interviewer who claims she 'won' Wimbledon match

British hopes at Wimbledon are on the line as Katie Boulter takes on defending champion Elena Rybakina in a late-night battle on Centre Court.
Boulter is the last home player in the draw after Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady were all knocked out on Friday.
Murray questioned whether he has the motivation to return to Wimbledon next year after a heartbreaking five-set defeat to Stefanos Tsitisipas ended his hopes at the Championships.
Carlos Alcaraz passed a tough test of his Wimbledon ambitions after battling to a four-set victory over Nicolas Jarry to reach the fourth round.
The world No 1 was pushed to the limit by Jarry’s big serve and powerful forehand but prevailed 6-3 6-7 6-3 7-6 in almost four hours of play, which pushed Boulter’s match against Rybakina late into the evening.

Excellent backhand winner from Boulter and the huge roar it receives tells you the level of support she will receive tonight. It’s backed up by some more aggressive hitting. Confident start.

Katie Boulter 0-0 Elena Rybakina*
The players are out on court as the warm-ups begin. This is the biggest match of Katie Boulter’s life, although she did stun former Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova here last year.
Boulter won the toss but Rybakina will serve. As we saw last year, the Wimbledon champion has a pretty good one…

Wimbledon 2023: Katie Boulter vs Elena Rybakina
Jabeur is clearly very emotional after that. Andreescu is really back in form and that was a big challenge to pass this early in the tournament. Her dream of reaching another Wimbledon final remains!

She lets out a huge roar! What a win that is, a great comeback from losing the first set. Sealed with an ace!
Matteo Berrettini is now also a set away from the fourth round after winning the second set against Alexander Zverev on a tiebreak.

Wimbledon 2023: Ons Jabeur vs Bianca Andreescu
Ons Jabeur 6-3 3-6 3-3 Bianca Andreescu*
Back underway on Centre Court - and what a hold that is for Ons Jabeur. Bianca Andreescu came out and immediately set up two break points. Jabeur saves both behind her serve, and then takes the hold with a backhand winner. Brilliant.

Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev have resumed but it’s safe to say the Italian was not happy at all with that decision.
It’s 6-3 4-5 to Berrettini, on serve in the second.
