In fact, Neal is in qf action this evening, circa 9.20 BST

That was the usual kind of highly optimistic initial timing given for a match 5th on court ( Grandstand )

The 3rd match, a women's doubles QF, is just under way at 9.10 pm BST, with a mixed doubles SF to follow.

So could be about midnight our time before they get started.

You were only about half a match out, Indiana (so you did a lot better than the schedulers) - it's quarter past midnight now and the mixed doubles SF is about to start, with Neal's QF to follow. The matches on this court haven't even been that long. The schedulers must assume a couple of early in the match retirements on every court or something like that!

And here is our list

26 Danny1312, Julia Carrott - Jack needs to lose his last 8 to end on 26

27 Flipflops, Indiana - Jack needs to lose in the semi to reach 27

28 Var - Jack needs to be runner up to reach 28

29 Steven (not recorded on the poll machine thingy!) - Jack needs the title to reach 29

6 folks left in 

Neal loses and its just Jack left - our tally remains 26, with a max of 29

Instinct is we all hope 29 is the final tally, 27 though is the most likely it feels to me, 26 though would be in line with seedings and keep us equal to last years total.

We have reached 100 wins across all 4 majors this year; it was 91 in 2023. The increase is basically down to the bumper Wimbledon tally we got.

 How do you mean 26 "in line with seedings"? Rather less (21?) for wins from our seeds if they all reached precisely their seeded for stages, though then we could add in all the non seed vs non seed R1 match ups (were you looking at comparative rankings for an additional expectation from them?)

 Sorry, I meant in line with seedings for the players who were left at the time I wrote it - ie just Jack and Neal and that they were both not expected to win anymore matches. Sorry, wasnt clear - yes, overall it looks like we surpassed our seeding expectations

Far to early to predict the maximum, as so many are left in ! I reckon Var , Steven or DF are now favourites.

 Well, could hopefully land on Var or Steven, for sure!

Elegant Point is defending champion here but could soon be gone. Indiana is the only remaining slam winner this season, still lurking for a Wimbledon and Flushing Meadow double?!

 Hope not !

 Still hope not !
