Summary
Nick Kyrgios finished the job against Feliciano Lopez on Sunday to set up a blockbuster clash in the last 16 on Monday, and afterwards it felt as if he is finally coming of age.
Kyrgios was imperious in blunting the serve-volley game of Lopez, and then ditched his normally combative, tetchy demeanour in the post-match press conference to inform, entertain and amuse the assembled media.
Telegraph Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs joined Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live) to discuss his performance, both on court and in the press conference, and to assess how they think Kyrgios vs. Murray will go.
The progress of Serena Williams is also covered, with the draws dissected ahead of Manic Monday, when all of the last 16 matches in both singles draws will be played.
The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with Telegraph Sport.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McEnore. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm |
| 0:05.2 | San Roenka. I'm Lainey Nuit. I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:19.8 | Well, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast on an extra day at Wimbledon. Middle Sunday is up |
| 0:26.0 | and running. In fact, it's pretty much nearly over. We've had five or six hours of tennis, |
| 0:31.3 | richly entertaining tennis and Catherine Whitaker, Simon Brick from the Telegraph and myself, |
| 0:36.5 | David Laura here to discuss it all. First things first, Catherine, we've seen another John Isner |
| 0:44.8 | style epic that this time he hasn't won and this time it lasted at least a reasonable amount of time |
| 0:51.3 | in not a ridiculous amount of time. What was it? 1917? Something like that in the fifth set, |
| 0:55.6 | but it was eventually Joe Offord-Songer who won through. Still a pretty ridiculous amount of time, |
| 1:01.2 | David. It's just that the benchmark isn't reset himself as quite so preposterous. I feel for both |
| 1:07.0 | of them. I almost feel for SONGER more because he how can he not be shot now for his fourth round |
| 1:12.6 | much against Rishar Gascay? Tomorrow, I know Gascay had to resume his match today as well, but in nowhere |
| 1:19.0 | near the same fashion that SONGER did. I mean, if he's able to mount any kind of a challenge against |
| 1:24.0 | Gascay, I will be mightily impressed, but yeah, I guess Isner is tasting the other side of the |
| 1:30.0 | cherry at the moment as well. Maybe it was just adrenaline, but at the end of that match, SONGER was |
| 1:35.1 | amped. He was doing the full pogo bouncing around the court, pointing at his back and engaging with |
| 1:41.6 | the crowd. Simon, this is the sort of day when you can engage with the crowd, isn't it? It's been |
| 1:46.6 | fantastic having this sort of first come first serve crowd in and you can see how much they're all |
| 1:52.4 | enjoying it. Yeah, that was court two. Yeah, court two. So court two had a great day, court one |
| 1:56.2 | had a great day. Courts end of court, perhaps not quite as good as those two, just as it turned out, |
| 2:00.0 | the two women's matches went quite quickly. And Burtich now, if he threw against the very |
| 2:05.2 | two sets up, actually, he's very, there's just won the third. So that will go on, but you know, |
