  1. 03:27 - Azarenka will now face second seed and three time champion Serena Williams, in two days time, as they both fight for a spot in the quarter-finals

  2. 2-6 - THERE IS THE WIN FOR AZARENKA! The Belarussian holds after a fairly mighty tussle to book her place in the fourth round. Mauresmo saved the first break point on a challenge, albeit a challenge from Azarenka as she thought the ball had gone long, and Azarenka squandered the second as she hit long. But the Belarussian grabbed the win at the third attempt when Mauresmo's forehand down the line drifted just wide

  3. 2-5 - AZARENKA BREAKS AGAIN! Mauresmo manages to save the first couple of break points but it's not been a great display on serve today from the Frenchwoman, to say the least, and she concedes her serve once again, slapping a tame forehand into the net. Azarenka will serve for the match after the change of ends

  4. 2-4 - Azarenka has a chance to hold to love but, almost inevitably, squanders her first couple of game points. Still, after a lengthy baseline rally, the Belarussian comes up with a fearsome backhand across court which lands right in the corner and she holds to leve herself just two games from a spot in the fourth round

  5. 2-3 - AZARENKA BREAKS AGAIN! Seriously, do these two not want to hold serve. Azarenka breaks to LOVE, patiently sending Mauresmo scampering around all areas of the baseline before racing up to a short ball and thumping a forehand winner into the open court

  6. 2-2 - MAURESMO BREAKS BACK! Yet another break of serve! Mauresmo squanders her first break point by dumping a backhand volley into the net but she grabs at the second attempt with a backhand passing shot across court

  7. 1-2 - AZARENKA BREAKS! Mauresmo is forced to save a couple of break points, which she does with a forehand winner down the line followed by a forehand smash across court. But Azarenka quickly earns herself another break point from deuce and this time she is handed the break as Mauresmo hits long

  8. 1-1 - Azarenka holds despite Mauresmo racing out to 0-30. The Frenchwoman challenged a call she clearly thought was good in that game and seemed to lose concentration momentarily after the ball was shown to be out by literally milimetres!

  9. 1-0 - Mauresmo enjoys her easiest service game to yet today, holding to love with a service winner down the T, to get off the mark first in this second set

  10. 4-6 - THERE IS THE FIRST SET FOR AZARENKA! The Belarussian needs a couple of attempts as she displays some nerves and Mauresmo holds firm to save the early chances. But the Frenchwoman slaps a forehand long eventually and Azarenka has the set

  11. 4-5 - A THIRD SUCCESSIVE BREAK as Mauresmo pushes an a cross court forehand wide to hand Azarenka the game to 15. Neither player seems to want to hold serve today! But Azarenka will serve for the set after the change of ends

  12. 4-4 - MAURESMO BREAKS BACK! Much better from the former number one as she pins Azarenka to the baseline, breaking when the Belarussian slaps a forehand long

  13. 3-4 - AZARENKA BREAKS! Mauresmo throws in a poor game, including allowing Azarenka up to the net and failing not once but twice to put a lob over her head, and the Belarussian jumps at the chance to break to 15

  14. 3-3 - The easiest service game of the match so far goes the way of Azarenka as she holds to love when Mauresmo's attempted chip and charge backhand down the line drifts wide

  15. 3-2 - Mauresmo holds to stop the run of games against her. A series of unforced errors make it harder than it should be though as she is forced to hold from deuce, when Azarenka hits a shocking backhand volley wide, despite having lead 40-15

  16. 2-2 - Azarenka posts her first service hold, albeit a battling one, to 30 to get things back on level terms

  17. 2-1 - AZARENKA BREAKS BACK! The Belarussian seems to be finding her feet now as she breaks back to 30 when Mauresmo slaps a forhand down the line just long

  18. 2-0 - MAURESMO BREAKS! The former champion has made a very bright start to this match breaking for the loss of just the one point

  19. 1-0 - A solid opening hold for Mauresmo, who takes a 1-0 lead with a forehand winner down the line

  20. 0-0 - Mauresmo won the toss and opted to serve first so it is the Frenchwoman to get us underway ...

  21. 01:53 - These two have faced each other just the once before, in Zurich last year, when Azarenka triumphed comfortably 6-1 6-2

  22. 01:50 - Hello and welcome to Eurosport Yahoo!'s LIVE coverage of this third round clash between Belarussian 13th seed Victoria Azarenka and France's Amelie Mauresmo, seeded 20th
