One of the best matches on Saturday could well be Taylor Fritz v Alejandro Tabilo. Fritz is the 13th seed, 11 ahead of his opponent but both have won a pre-Wimbledon tournament. Next up for the winner is a match against either fourth seed Alexander Zverev or unseeded Cameron Norrie.

Taylor Fritz reached the quarter-finals of this grass court Grand Slam two years ago. The latest rankings saw him in 12th place and he remains in that position in the live list. In the ATP Live Race, the American is ninth and will go eighth if beating Tabilo.

The American won the Eastbourne grass court tournament last week, the third time he's won there. A win in this match will take him into round four of a Grand Slam for the fourth one in a row, so he's one of the most consistent players on the ATP Tour.

So far at Wimbledon, the American has defeated Chris O'Connell in straight sets but needed four to get past unseeded Arthur Rinderknech. He leads Tabilo 2-0 in previous matches (one played this year) but this is their first grass court match.

It's been a massive year for Alejandro Tabilo on all surfaces. He's won two titles, including the Mallorca Open last week. The Chilean is up to 19th in the live rankings and five places higher in the ATP Race. Not bad for someone who was ranked 145th twelve months ago.

This is his first time in the third round of a Grand Slam. This week has seen him beat Daniel Evans in straight sets and then had to go to a final set to beat Flavio Cobolli. That was despite taking a two-set lead. We go for over 3.5 sets to be played in this match..
