The rain is expected to ease off in time for men's quarter-final action at Wimbledon on Wednesday but even if it does not defending champion Andy Murray and seven-times winner Roger Federer will have the Centre Court roof to keep them dry.

The roof showed its worth again on Tuesday with Johanna Konta's thrilling win over Simona Halep taking place during a downpour.

Konta is the first British woman through to a Wimbledon semi-final since 1977.

Murray is first up on Centre Court against American Sam Querrey followed by Federer's tough test against Canadian Milos Raonic.

The Number One court will also have a retractable roof in place by the 2019 tournament but for now Novak Djokovic, who faces Tomas Berdych, will have to hope the weather is kind to him.

Also on Number One, Luxembourg's Gilles Muller, who upset Rafa Nadal in a marathon five setter, is hoping to make seventh-seed Marin Cilic his next victim.

Who else should you be looking out for?

Andy Murray isn't the only Briton to look out for on men's quarter-final day.

Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen are in third-round mixed doubles action against fourth seeds Ivan Dodig and Sania Mirza. That match is fourth up on Court Two.

Meanwhile, British brothers Ken and Neal Skupski are on court now. They're taking on fourth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo in the men's doubles quarter-finals.

Ken Skupski is back in action later in the day as he and fellow Briton Jocelyn Rae take on 12th seeds Max Mirnyi and Ekaterina Makarova in the third round of the mixed doubles.

Ivanisevic backs fellow Croat Cilic

Andy Murray won't be winning Wimbledon this year if 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic's prediction is anything to go by.

Murray 1-0 Querrey* (*denotes next server)

Murray starts with an unreturnable serve followed up by a big serve-forehand combo to go 30-0 up. An ace followed by another unreturnable serve seals a love hold.

Murray* 2-0 Querrey (*denotes next server)

A shaky start from Querrey as he follows up a double fault with back-to-back errors to hand Murray three break points. The American saves the first with an ace but sends a forehand long to lose the next point and drop his serve.

Murray 3-0 Querrey* (*denotes next server)

Murray misses the mark with a defensive forehand to fall 15-30 behind on his own serve. Back-to-back groundstroke errors by Querrey hand Murray game point, and he takes it with his third ace of the match.

A perfect start by the world No 1.

Murray 4-1 Querrey* (*denotes next server)

Querrey goes for broke with a backhand up the line but misses the mark by a good couple of feet. An unreturnable serve by Murray follows but some heavy hitting from the 24th seed forces the error from Murray and takes the game to 30-15. Querrey misses a lob to lose the next point and hand the Briton a couple of game points. Murray sends a slice backhand into the net to squander the first but takes the second as Querrey nets a groundstroke of his own.

A well-executed drop shot followed by a winning overhead and an ace bring up three game points for Querrey in double-quick time. Murray fends off the first but the American seals a hold to 15 with an ace.

Murray 5-2 Querrey* (*denotes next server)

Querrey wins the first point of the game with another nice drop shot but Murray levels things up with a winning volley. An unforced error by Querrey follows before some dominant hitting from the world No 1 sees Murray win the next couple of points and, with them, the game.
