The Brits are coming!

Who's in action today out of the home hopefuls? I'm glad you asked...

• Gabriella Taylor (GBR) 43 vs Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) 44
• Katie Boulter (GBR) 53 vs Veronica Cepede Royg (PAR) 54
• Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) [12] 17 vs Katy Dunne (GBR) 18
• Kyle Edmund (GBR) [21] 73 vs Alex Bolt (AUS) 74
• Johanna Konta (GBR) [22] 9 vs Natalia Vikhlyantseva (RUS) 10
• Garbine Muguruza (ESP) [3] 33 vs Naomi Broady (GBR) 34
• Heather Watson (GBR) 19 vs Kirsten Flipkens (BEL) 20
• Ernests Gulbis (LAT) 91 vs Jay Clarke (GBR) 92

[3 July 2018 10:58 · Samuel Lovett]

Aside from the high-profile names, keep an eye out for Gabriella Taylor and Katie Boulter today.

Taylor is up against a desperately out-of-form Eugenie Bouchard, who dropped out of the top 100 in January for the first time since 2013. The Canadian has suffered a considerable fall from grace and up against a home-backed Brit, there's every chance she could be making yet another early exit here at SW19.

As for Boulter, she takes on Veronica Cepede Royg - a player who best performs on clay courts. The young Briton will fancy her chances on the green stuff today.

Some last-minute preparation for the women's champion:

[3 July 2018 11:11 · Samuel Lovett]

Any excuse to watch this beauty again...

[3 July 2018 11:31 · Samuel Lovett]

The All England Lawn Tennis Club will not be showing coverage of England’s last-16 World Cup showdown with Colombia on Tuesday night, with Wimbledon organisers keen to keep the event a strictly tennis affair.

The Championships has a long-standing policy of not showing football within its grounds, and intends to enforce this once again tonight - despite the significance of England’s clash.

As such, England fans will be unable to watch the match, or any other knockout games during the World Cup, on Henman Hill or other screens inside the All England Club.

“In previous years we have never shown the football, whether it is the European Championships or the World Cup, and there will be no change to that,” Richard Lewis, the chief executive of the All England Club, said.

“We think people recognise they are at a tennis event. It has always been an accepted policy. 

“It has worked very well for us and never proved controversial. We love seeing England do well and would love Gareth Southgate and his side to do well at this World Cup.” 

Wimbledon organisers have also confirmed that the men’s final, which is expected to start around 2.15pm on Sunday 15 July, would not be moved forward in order to avoid a clash with the World Cup final, which kicks off at 4pm on the same day.

[3 July 2018 11:47 · Samuel Lovett]

In action:

Johanna Konta is currently on No.2 Court where she's playing Natalia Vikhlyantseva (try saying that after a couple of shots). They're all tied at one game apiece in the opening set.

Elsewhere, Juan Martin Del Potro is underway in his match against Peter Gojowczyk. The Argentine leads 2-1 in the first set.
