Preview
There appears to be no weakness in the armour of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer, and the legendary trio should skip through Monday's action.
The middle Sunday rest should help maintain the lofty standards of the top seeds.
Djokovic must deal with 21-year-old Ugo Humbert, with the French player approaching new territory at a Grand Slam.
Humbert has never gone further than the fourth round, and the Serb could represent a bridge too far.
Nadal should also advance against Sousa, but Federer faces an intriguing tussle with Berrettini.
The No. 17 seed has displayed great energy and resolve on the grass courts, but he appears to lack the finesse needed to beat his next opponent.
Gauff will be the centre of attention once again, with the teenager set to face one of the best in the game. Halep is a former world No. 1 and French Open champion, but she's not fulfilled her talent at Wimbledon.
The Romanian has previously reached the last four, and she will be aware of the danger posed by a rising superstar.
Gauff has exceeded all expectations after eliminating Venus Williams in the opening round.
Konta has had home fans on their feet with her displays, and the Brit will believe she can progress deep into the competition. The No. 19 seed faces a step up in class against Kvitova, with the two-time Wimbledon champion a regular on Centre Court.
However, with the crowd on her side and the wind in her sails, Konta has the talent and motivation to make it to the last eight.
