Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 2-2 Philipp Kohlschreiber*

The reigning champ holds easily enough as he continues to breeze towards what looks to be a straight-sets win.

[1 July 2019 14:51 · Samuel Lovett]

*Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 2-2 Philipp Kohlschreiber

It's been relatively plain-sailing for Djokovic today but he's been a little guilty of rushing some of his shots. He's just fired wide a simple backhand which he definitely should have made. 15-15.

[1 July 2019 14:53 · Samuel Lovett]

Simona Halep 6-4 7-5 Aliaksandra Sasnovich

Halep is through to the second round after beating Sasnovich in straight sets. Her opponent had set point in the second but the 2018 French Open champion held her nerve before turning things around to secure victory. She'll be pleased with the spirit and resolve she showed there.

Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 2-2 Philipp Kohlschreiber*

Djokovic, on break point, places a forehand in the tramlines but makes the challenge anyway. Surprise surprise, it's well wide. 40-40. The German holding on here...

[1 July 2019 14:58 · Samuel Lovett]

*Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 2-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber

Djokovic nets. Kohlschreiber advantage. Djokovic pulls it wide. Kohlschreiber holds.

Huge relief for the German there. On we go.

[1 July 2019 15:00 · Samuel Lovett]

Third seed Karolina Pliskova had to save three set points in the second set against China's Zhu Lin before coming through 6-2 7-6 (4).

Pliskova is among the big favourites to win the title and arrived at the All England Club having blitzed the field to lift the trophy at Eastbourne on Saturday.

But she was not at her best against Zhu, who has never won a grand slam match, and the Chinese player held set point three times serving at 6-5. Pliskova managed to break, though, and came out on top in the tie-break.

[1 July 2019 15:03 · Kieran Jackson]

Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 3-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber*

Djokovic holds comfortably to 15, and seals it with a crunching backhand winner down the line. 

Three apiece.

[1 July 2019 15:03 · Kieran Jackson]

Last year's French Open champion Simona Halep is safely through to round two...

[1 July 2019 15:05 · Kieran Jackson]

SHOCK ALERT!

Rybarikova reached the semi-finals in 2017, and has knocked out no.10 seed Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets!

[1 July 2019 15:08 · Kieran Jackson]

*Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 4-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber

DJOKOVIC BREAKS!

A wayward forehand volley from the German while two break points down, and the finish line is now in sight for four-time champion Djokovic.
