MATCH OF THE DAY MATTEO BERRETTINI (Ita, 7) v FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME (Can, 16) Second on Court No 1 TWO great friends meet here. Berrettini (right) has only been broken three times in his nine-match winning streak on grass and meets the fleetfooted Auger-Aliassime, who had the win of his life against Alexander Zverev on Monday. UPSET ALERT ROGER FEDERER (Swi, 6) v HUBERT HURKACZ (Pol, 14) Second on Centre Court IT FEELS odd for a 39-year-old losing in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam to be a potential upset, but Federer is still Federer and is the favourite to progress. The great Swiss has yet to be truly tested and that will change today. Hurkacz (above) arrived at SW19 on the back of six straight defeats but has struck a rich vein of form. WEATHER FORECAST CLOUDY with sporadic showers, and the wind may pick up a bit. Highs of 20?C. WHERE TO WATCH LIVE on BBC1 from 12.30pm and BBC2 from 1pm.
