From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Andy Murray returned to Wimbledon for the first time since 2017, while Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were also in action on a bumper day at SW19.

Murray won his first match in the men's doubles alongside Pierre-Hugues Herbert as the pair prevailed 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-0. Murray will return to the court on Friday alongside Williams after the American recovered from losing the first set to Slovenian qualifier Kaja Juvan.

Elsewhere, Nadal's blockbuster clash with hothead Nick Kyrgios lived up to its billing with a fiery encounter both on court and afterwards. Johanna Konta beat Katerina Siniakova to reach the third round, while Roger Federer ended the hopes of British hopeful Jay Clarke in the day’s second match on No 1 Court.

MATCHES TO BE ARRANGED

NOT BEFORE 17.30

1 Marius Copil (ROU) / Ugo Humbert (FRA) 29 vs Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) / Andy Murray (GBR) 30

*Kyrgios 3-6 3-1 Nadal (30-30)

Rafa's pushing here. The points are lengthening, which undoubtedly favours the Spaniard - he has 30-30.

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:41

Kyrgios 3-6 4-1 Nadal*

UNDERARM SERVE AGAIN!!!

A big 1st serve brings 40-30, and then Kyrgios hits an underarm serve (not a very good one it has to be said) which Rafa whips into the net on his forehand side!

It brings cheers, and some boos, from the Centre Court crowd... will Kyrgios care? Not. One. Bit. 

He leads 4-1 in the second.

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:43

*Kyrgios 3-6 4-2 Nadal

Kyrgios starts this game off with some sneezes, I kid you not!

Anyway, tennis-wise, a comfortable game for Rafa which he seals with a trademark forehand down the line...

Pressure back on Nick.

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:48

A full house on Centre.

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:48

*Kyrgios 3-6 4-2 Nadal (0-40)

THREE BREAK POINTS for Nadal, as Kyrgios goes wild off a few shots. He complains at 0-30, about the time Rafa is taking between points again...

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:49

Kyrgios 3-6 4-3 Nadal*

NADAL BREAKS, TO LOVE!

Kyrgios nets a backhand as he struggles to move his feet properly, and we're back on serve on Centre. 

Given the work Kyrgios put in to get the break, that was wasteful.

He's now talking to the chair umpire at the change of ends, presumably about the time Nadal is taking between points... it is a while...

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:51

KERBER OUT!

Here's how the defending champion lost: 

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:51

Kyrgios gets a code violation warning for unsportsmanlike conduct before the next game starts.

Not sure what he said, but he was definitely angry with the umpire...

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:53

Kyrgios 3-6 4-3 Nadal* (15-15)

Boy these two don't like each other! First point of the game, Nadal approaches the net and Kyrgios smacks the ball out with it just avoiding Rafa!

Next point, a deft touch volley from the Australian... what next?

Kieran Jackson4 July 2019 17:54

Kyrgios 3-6 4-3 Nadal* (15-30)

I'll tell you what's next, a smashing forehand winner down the line from Kyrgios! He has 15-30...
