Rain brought a premature end to day three of Wimbledon but there was plenty to mull over in both the men's and women's singles.
There were plenty of July 4 fireworks from the American players on court 12 while Spain and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique soaked up the action after his recent World Cup exit.
Here, Sportsmail reports from day three of the Championships and what to look out for on day four.
Fireworks on July 4
On the Fourth of July, there was an American theme to Court 12. Madison Keys won the first match, Sam Querrey won the second, then John Isner set off fireworks in the third.
Isner was not happy as he claimed Hawk-Eye was not working. One spectator wore trousers branded with the Stars and Stripes in true Independence Day spirit.

High chair not included
Dressing like a chair umpire does not come cheap. In the Wimbledon shop, you can buy the Ralph Lauren jacket but it will set you back £779.
To complete the All England Club outfit, the blue shirt is £105, a tie is £109 and a flat-cap is £69: all in all, that's £1,062. You might be better off with Gareth Southgate's £65 M&S waistcoat...

Organisers pay the penalty
With the nation gripped by drama in Russia, Wimbledon maintain they are not concerned about clashing with the World Cup. However, the first two days' overall attendances at the Championships have been down by more than 3,000 on last year.
On Tuesday, most of the Brits were on early, long before England played Colombia. Such scheduling will be more difficult on Saturday given the 3pm kick-off against Sweden.
A total of 40,607 poured through the gates, compared to 42,559 on the same day in 2017.

Raonic's serve speed is sickening
Milos Raonic isn't feeling too well. The Canadian is suffering from a virus, though that did not stop him from hammering the second-fastest serve in Wimbledon history on Wednesday.
During his 7-6, 7-6, 7-6 win over Australian John Millman, Raonic smashed a 147mph serve and secured 34 aces. American Taylor Dent's 148mph, set in 2010, is still the fastest here.

Rafa's five-a-day
On one side of the practice court was Rafa Nadal, on the other side was the foam roller he uses for stretching. His task was to wipe it out. First attempt, the world No 1 hits his target.
The Spaniard has also been spotted shopping at suave supermarket Bayley & Sage in Wimbledon Village, buying veg while dressed in his whites.

Heather back in the mix
Heather Watson carries a keyring around with her at all times. 'Keep calm… I am a Wimbledon champion,' it says.
Watson was given it as a gift by LTA tournament director Rebecca James after her mixed doubles win with Henri Kontinen in 2016.
She is already out of the singles, but is competing with Kontinen again.

Footballing royalty
Among the famous faces in the Royal Box was Gerard Pique, the Spain defender who conceded the penalty that helped Russia knock them out of the World Cup four days ago.
He is in a relationship with Shakira, the Colombian singer who may not be too pleased with Tuesday night’s result against England. It probably was not an enjoyable World Cup for either.
