Martina Hingis, Sania Mirza, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina are warming up on Centre Court for the women's final doubles, but I'm afraid it's time for us live texters to wave goodbye.
Coverage of that match can be found on the BBC tennis page, while Sue Barker continues to present coverage on BBC Two and online.
And don't forget that Clare Balding will reflect on all the happenings here on Wimbledon 2day at 20:00 BST on BBC Two.

Serena Williams is straining on the reins, sensing the winners' enclosure is just a sniff away.
She holds to love with her eighth and ninth aces of the match. Her sights are locked on Muguruza with her finger on the trigger.
"The unforced errors are coming thick and fast at the moment from Muguruza. I do like the way she attacks any short ball, though, she needs to keep doing that."

Martina Hingis, Sania Mirza, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina are warming up on Centre Court for the women's final doubles, but I'm afraid it's time for us live texters to wave goodbye.
Coverage of that match can be found on the BBC tennis page, while Sue Barker continues to present coverage on BBC Two and online.
And don't forget that Clare Balding will reflect on all the happenings here on Wimbledon 2day at 20:00 BST on BBC Two.

A confident opening by Murray and Peers before a sparse Centre Court, but Rojer pulls through to hold on his serve.

Serena Williams is somewhere in the All England Club performing all sorts of party tricks with the Venus Rosewater dish, while the defeated Garbine Muguruza is probably wiping away a tear or two in the locker room.
