Novak Djokovic, Venus Williams and Kyle Edmund headline the opening day of Wimbledon 2019.

2018 men's champion Djokovic begins his defence against unseeded Philipp Kohlschreiber before women's number two seed Naomi Osaka takes on Yuila Putintseva and Kyle Edmund wraps up the first day on Centre Court against Jaume Munar.

Last year's men's finalist Kevin Anderson begins his campaign on Monday, as does Stan Warwrinka, Alexander Zverev, Simona Halep and Venus Williams, who plays 15-year-old Cori Gauff.

There is no immediate damger of rain delaying any of the action in the first week of play with sun expected throughout the week.

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

Djokovic holds to love, and that's 34 of the last 38 points on serve for the defending champion. 

The end is nigh it seems - Kohlschreiber serves to stay in the match...

Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 5-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber* (30-30)

Djokovic brings Philipp in with a drop shot, and then wrong-foots his opponent to pass crosscourt.

But at 15-30, Kohlschreiber gets his revenge, with a similar play which wakes the crowd up - 30-30.

Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 5-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber* (30-40)

Djokovic hits a winner on his backhand off a weak Kohlschreiber second serve, and he now has MATCH POINT...

GAME, SET, MATCH DJOKOVIC! Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 6-3 Philipp Kohlschreiber!

And Djokovic takes it on his first opportunity! After successfully challenging a 1st serve ace which was out, he clinches it with a forehand winner crosscourt!

A very efficient performance from the defending champion - his first match on grass this year, and it looked like he's never been away! Kohlschreiber fought valiantly, but didn't quite have the firepower required to really harm Djokovic. 

The no.1 seed will play American Denis Kudla in round two on Wednesday...

Third seed Karolina Pliskova is through to the second round, winning 6-2, 7-6(4) against Lin Zhu of China on court 2.

Next up on Centre Court: Naomi Osaka, who will play Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan. 

A very tough opening match for the reigning US and Australian Open champion, and the number two seed here. Osaka lost to Putintseva two weeks ago in Birmingham in straight sets...

Osaka said she isn't too comfortable on grass, so it could be a tricky afternoon for the Japanese 21-year-old...

On Court 1, sixth seed Alexander Zverev is about to get his 2019 campaign against Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely, who reached the fourth round last year...
