The first Saturday at Wimbledon is always an exciting one on and off the court, and you can follow Day 6 of this year's tournament live with ESPN.
Serena Willaims has confirmed she will not play in the doubles competition with sister Venus Williams due to a knee injury.
Tournament organisers had delayed putting the pair on the order of play to give Serena as much time as possible to make a call on if she would play or not. However, the 44-year-old confirmed on Saturday evening she could not participate.
Elsewhere, defending women's champion Iga Swiatek has been stunned by Alexandra Eala while the last remaining Brit, Arthur Fery, is up on Court 18 this afternoon.

Williams' agent, Jill Smoller, released a statement Wednesday saying Williams "tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set" of her first-round loss to Maya Joint on Tuesday. Smoller added that was the reason Williams did not speak with reporters after her match, saying she was excused by the Wimbledon and WTA medical teams.
"She left site that night unaided and is doing everything she can to be ready for her doubles match later this week," Smoller said.
Williams also acknowledged the injury in an Instagram post, saying she will "be doing everything I can to be ready for doubles," where she is slated to play with her sister Venus.
