COURT 1 UPDATE
Novak Djokovic has won the first set, 6-3, against Ugo Humbert on Court No 1...
Konta 4-6 6-2 Kvitova
KONTA WINS THE SECOND SET!
The Brit holds to 15 and we're all-square on Centre Court. Into a decider we go...
*Konta 4-6 6-2 0-1 Kvitova
Kvitova holds to love, letting out a huge scream after winning it with a forehand.
She has the opening game...
Konta 4-6 6-2 1-1 Kvitova*
Close to a near-perfect game from Konta, before she double faults at 40-0.
She closes it out to 15 though, as the inconsistent Kvitova goes long with a forehand.
Konta 4-6 6-2 1-1 Kvitova* (30-30)
An error each off both sides from Kvitova brings up 0-30, but then a Konta error and a Kvitova ace make it 30-30.
Konta 4-6 6-2 1-1 Kvitova* (40-40)
Oooh dear. Good chance that for Konta. The ball sat up nicely to her backhand at 30-30, but she slams it into the net.
Kvitova then double faults though. Deuce.
Konta 4-6 6-2 1-1 Kvitova* (ad Konta)
This time though, Konta nails the backhand into the corner and it's BREAK POINT...
*Konta 4-6 6-2 2-1 Kvitova
KONTA BREAKS!
A backhand close to the sideline is called out, but Konta challenges and it's in! Kvitova's shot wasn't in play and so it's Konta's point (much to the surprise of Kvitova) and game!
A clever move by Konta to move towards the net before the challenge, and then walk straight to her chair. Whether that had an influence on the umpire's decision, we don't know...
