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. Relive all the action below.

*Kyrgios 1-4 Thompson 

Kyrgios was broken in the fourth game of the match, in a game which included two double faults and an failed tweener half-volley from the back of the court - he is nothing if not unpredictable! 

Thompson backs up the break with a hold to 30. 

Kieran Jackson2 July 2019 11:27
1562063560

*Kyrgios 2-5 Thompson 

Two relatively straightforward service games to love, with Kyrgios attempting his usual bag of drop shots, lobs and slices but Thompson dealing with it well so far.

Thompson a game away from the first set...

*Kyrgios 4-5 Thompson 

KYRGIOS BREAKS! 

After saving one set point in his service game, Kyrgios breaks to 15 after some powerful deep forehands which Thompson struggles to deal with. 

Back on serve in set 1... 

Kieran Jackson2 July 2019 11:40

*Kyrgios 5-6 Thompson 

Kyrgios holds comfortably, and then a breathtaking game at 5-5...

It looks like Thompson has it wrapped up, until Kyrgios dives to pass his opponent at 40-30. He then entertains the crowd - who are absolutely loving this - with a big smile and a shake of the hips!

Eventually, after three deuces, Thompson clinches the game as Kyrgios thumps a return into the net.

Dan Evans got a jam-packed day of British action at Wimbledon off to a great start by taking the first set of his match against Federico Delbonis.

Evans is one of eight home hopes playing in the first round on Tuesday and took the opener 6-3 against the Argentinian.

He broke Delbonis' opening service game and that proved enough.

Kyrgios 6-6 Thompson*

We’re into a breaker, as Kyrgios holds to 30 via some big, big serving from 30-30.

*Kyrgios 6-6 Thompson (4-2)

Kyrgios saying to himself “make every ball”... and he more or less does just that, as Thompson nets a couple of routine groundstokes.

Another big serve gives Kyrgios a two-point lead at the change of ends. 

Kieran Jackson2 July 2019 11:57

*Kyrgios 7-6(4) Thompson 

KYRGIOS WINS THE FIRST SET!

After a tweener down the line goes just wide at 5-4, Kyrgios wraps up the first set with two aces down the T! 

Stunning comeback!

Kieran Jackson2 July 2019 12:01

Kyrgios 7-6(4) 1-0 Thompson*

Kyrgios holds, in a game where he smashed a ball out the court in trying to claw back a lob.

Box office.
