Arthur Fery is a quality player. He believes he should be in the latter stages of big tournaments, this is his opportunity.

Dimitrov has played in some big matches but to play a Brit on Centre Court at Wimbledon is different.

The crowd will be on Arthur's side. I just can't wait. This will give him a huge platform of confidence going forward.

It's a really special feeling.

I was lucky enough to play a match on there in my career. I played the defending champion Garbine Muguruza (in 2018) and I was asked on the Monday if I wanted to follow Roger Federer, who was the defending men's champion that year, out onto the court just to have a practice of the walkout.

They don't just offer it to British players, they offer it to anyone who is going out onto Centre for the first time, so I'm sure they messaged Arthur yesterday to see if he wanted to do it.

It is such a momentous, nerve-wracking moment. You start outside the locker rooms, you walk all the way around through the clubhouse, through the members' area, through the restaurant and they hold you behind the doors and almost count you down from 10 before they open them and send you out.

That's almost more nerve-wracking than the actual match! I remember in the warm-up thinking: "Don't miss, please don't hit the ball in the net during the warm-up."

Not everyone that plays at Wimbledon gets the chance to play on Centre, so for Arthur, what a special moment.

Jamie Murray looks at the stats behind Arthur Fery's brilliant run to the fourth round and the attributes that have led the Briton to Centre Court...

Since the Open era began at the end of the 1960s, only five British players have reached the quarter-finals of the men's singles at Wimbledon.

Two-time champion Andy Murray got into the last eight on 10 occasions, with Tim Henman doing it eight times, losing in the semi-finals four times and the quarter-finals a further four.

Cameron Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, was the last British man into the quarter-finals, losing to Carlos Alcaraz last year.

After being handed a wildcard that meant he did not have to go through qualifying, Arthur Fery has seen off Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Otto Virtanen of Finland and Zizou Bergs of Belgium to be the last Briton left in the singles' events.

Next up on Centre Court is Arthur Fery, the last British player remaining in singles action, and he plays the most important match of his career - a potentially life-changing day against former semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov.

Fery, 23, began the tournament outside the top 100 in the world and this will be his first time on Centre.

Can he make this a day to remember?

Jasmine Paolini can enjoy this win for the next few hours but, before long, thoughts will turn to that quarter-final.

Waiting for her there is 12th seed Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, who beat American Ashlyn Krueger is straight sets a little earlier on.

It wasn't pretty at times, but Jasmine Paolini grits her teeth and finds a way through. She shakes her fists at her team before meeting Alexandra Eala at the net to shake hands.

Eala's record-making run at SW19 comes to an end, but she holds her head up high and waves to the crowd, who send her off with a standing ovation.

We didn't have that much drama at the end but it was close, just a little bit better from Paolini.

She came up with the best tennis in that third set. Better forehand, better serves. The more adventurous player won the match, well done Jasmine.

Italian ninth seed Flavio Cobolli is speaking on Court One after that straight-set win over Australian fifth seed Alex de Minaur.

On winning in straight sets: “What a life. I was feeling tired so I’m very happy to reach the quarter-final in three sets because it’s very important to keep the energy for the next round. This year it’s so hot, we saw in the crowds. Thanks for coming today, I know it’s really hot and I appreciate it a lot. I’m so happy and proud of myself.”

On the chat he had mid-match with De Minaur: “There’s a lot of respect, I love him how he plays, I don’t love to play with him. But a lot of respect, we had a little chat here on the break about how hot it is.”

On whether he will watch Grigor Dimitrov v Arthur Fery and his plans for the day: “I don’t watch it. Ice cream and today my dad cooks pasta with tomato and onion. I don’t know. It’s the World Cup so maybe I want to see Spain and Portugal.”

Cobolli then reveals he's not sure where he's staying tonight because he doesn't have a house to go to, before asking his father at courtside if he's found one yet.

Can anyone in London help Flavio out?

This is when the nerves come in, particularly from Paolini.

Can she handle it?

Suddenly, Jasmine Paolini is serving for the match.

We hadn't had an inkling of a break all set but Paolini had looked the more likely to force one.

She did and as Alexandra Eala fires long, Paolini has the all-important break.

Second serve, down the middle and sitting up nicely... but Jasmine Paolini thumps it into the net.

That was a big chance and she knows it.

But she'll have another after a double fault from Alexandra Eala.

Flavio Cabolli will play the winner of Britain's Arthur Fery and Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals.

The pair are on Centre Court this afternoon following the conclusion of Jasmine Paolini and Alexandra Eala's match.

The Italian ninth seed has just given his post-match interview and we'll have full quotes shortly.

This is really absorbing tennis now between two extremely well-matched players.

Another baseline battle goes to way of Alexandra Eala to give her game point but a lob drifts long on the next point and we're at deuce.

Eala then drags a forehand wide and Jasmine Paolini suddenly has a huge break point...

I think they are playing each other and not the Wimbledon round of 16 to get into the quarter-finals. The quality has been good, it's who blinks first.

I think Paolini is ahead. She has the upper hand and she's able to be more aggressive and attack the serve. But, I still can't call it.

Three confident service games for Jasmine Paolini and it's difficult to see a way through for Alexandra Eala.

But there have been so many momentum swings in this match and the Filipina has a large portion of the Centre Crowd trying to rally behind her.

It's been a more frustrated, tetchy Jasmine Paolini than we're used to seeing for much of this match.

Fewer smiles, the 30-year-old Italian is wearing a look of intense focus and despite a slight blip as she fluffs a drop shot into the net, she comes through to hold to 15.
