    Coco Gauff speaking on Court One after beating Belinda Bencic:

    "I'm super happy to be in the quarters finally - I don't know how many tries it's been.

    "I was looking at the clock in the last service game and on that match point I was going for serve and volley as I was wanting to end the point.

    "I'm not used to racing for time as we're not used to having to finish by a certain time.

    "I'm definitely hungry for more."

    The court supervisor has just indicated to the chair umpire that they can play one more game after this change of ends and then the 23:00 BST curfew has to come into effect.

    I'm not sure if the players saw that message being passed on.

    Coco Gauff will serve for a place in the quarter-finals.

    The latest Wimbledon finish is Andy Murray beating Marcos Baghdatis, at 23:02 BST at Wimbledon 2012.

    The curfew remains 23:00... this could get very awkward for the referee.
