Roger Federer is safely through to the second round of Wimbledon despite dropping the first set to little-known South African Lloyd Harris.
The eight-times champion had a set taken off him in his first-round match at Wimbledon for only the second time in 17 years.
But Federer, the second seed, recovered to beat 22-year-old SW19 debutant Harris 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-2. Follow the live action below:
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the second day of play at Wimbledon 2019.
The big story from the first day of play at The Championships is that five-time champion Venus Williams has been knocked out in the first round by 15-year-old sensation Cori Gauff.
Samuel Lovett was on Court 1 for that extraordinary match and you can read his report here:
Welcome to Day 2 of Wimbledon 2019!
It's an absolutely cracking order of play today, with big-name players and great match-ups on all the outside courts.
Those in action include: Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Ashleigh Barty, Dominic Thiem, Angelique Kerber and Jo Konta (as well as seven other Brits in action overall).
Here's the order of play in full:
Oh so ready.
Here's a lowdown on all the Brits in action:
Federer is playing world number 86 Lloyd Harris in the second match on Centre Court.
Regardless of her tactics, former world number 1 Victoria Azarenka will be in round two after beating Alize Cornet in straight sets yesterday.
Dream debut.
Our Wimbledon columnist Nick Bollettieri had his say on world number 2 Naomi Osaka's shock defeat in the first round yesterday...
Andy Murray's father-in-law, Nigel Sears: “When in Australia people were saying it was the end of his career or whatever, he hesitated slightly, even in the interviews. He wasn’t saying: ‘No, I have retired.’
People falling asleep at the tennis really, really annoy me...
With play on the outside courts (every court other than Centre and No.1) due to start at 11:00am, our main focus will be the controversial Australian Nick Kyrgios, as he opens proceedings against compatriot Jordan Thompson, in what is sure to be a decent atmosphere on court 3.
We'll also keep you up to date with all the other first batch of matches, including Brits Dan Evans, James Ward, and Harriet Dart, as well as Sloane Stephens, Alex de Minaur and Kei Nishikori.
In case you're wondering, you can still take in today's action via The Queue:
*Kyrgios 1-4 Thompson
Kyrgios was broken in the fourth game of the match, in a game which included two double faults and an failed tweener half-volley from the back of the court - he is nothing if not unpredictable!
Thompson backs up the break with a hold to 30.
*Kyrgios 2-5 Thompson
Two relatively straightforward service games to love, with Kyrgios attempting his usual bag of drop shots, lobs and slices but Thompson dealing with it well so far.
Thompson a game away from the first set...
*Kyrgios 4-5 Thompson
KYRGIOS BREAKS!
After saving one set point in his service game, Kyrgios breaks to 15 after some powerful deep forehands which Thompson struggles to deal with.
Back on serve in set 1...
*Kyrgios 5-6 Thompson
Kyrgios holds comfortably, and then a breathtaking game at 5-5...
It looks like Thompson has it wrapped up, until Kyrgios dives to pass his opponent at 40-30. He then entertains the crowd - who are absolutely loving this - with a big smile and a shake of the hips!
Eventually, after three deuces, Thompson clinches the game as Kyrgios thumps a return into the net.
Dan Evans got a jam-packed day of British action at Wimbledon off to a great start by taking the first set of his match against Federico Delbonis.
Evans is one of eight home hopes playing in the first round on Tuesday and took the opener 6-3 against the Argentinian.
He broke Delbonis' opening service game and that proved enough.
Kyrgios 6-6 Thompson*
We’re into a breaker, as Kyrgios holds to 30 via some big, big serving from 30-30.
