Wimbledon 2019: Results with Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Johanna Konta all through

Relive all the action from the second day of the Championships

Pulses were racing around Wimbledon for around 40 minutes on Tuesday as an All England Club debutant nicknamed 'The King' threatened to invade Roger Federer's grasscourt kingdom. When little-known South African Lloyd Harris took the first set, the jitters had well and truly set in amongst the 15,000 Centre Court crowd who feared His Royal Swissness could be about to suffer his first opening-round loss at a major since 2003. But on a day when the Swiss was supported by his parents and family friend the Duchess of Cambridge from the Royal Box, the eight-times champion eventually turned on the style to hand down a 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-2 victory.

Rafael Nadal's bid for a third Wimbledon title is up and running after a straight-sets win over Yuichi Sugita. The Spaniard, seeded third, was broken in the first game of the match but ran out a comfortable 6-3 6-1 6-3 winner in a shade over two hours. A straightforward victory set up a grudge match with Nick Kyrgios, who criticised Nadal recently, in the second round on Thursday.

And Serena Williams began her first-round clash at Wimbledon in complete comfort, but ended it screaming in delight as she finally suppressed Giulia Gatto-Monticone having been dragged into an unlikely dogfight by the world number 161. The Italian qualifier, who was making only her second Grand Slam appearance at the age of 31 having amassed a relatively modest $300,000 in prize money throughout a pedestrian career, was eventually subdued 6-2 7-5.

Andy Murray's father-in-law, Nigel Sears: “When in Australia people were saying it was the end of his career or whatever, he hesitated slightly, even in the interviews. He wasn’t saying: ‘No, I have retired.’
