What time is Andy Murray on today at Wimbledon as former No.1 gets set for Oscar Otte Centre Court clash

Andy Murray rolled back the years on Monday as he set SW19 alight with a commanding win over Nikoliz Basilashvili in Wimbledon 's first round.

And it's unseeded German Oscar Otte up next as the former world No.1 continues his dramatic singles resurgence.

Struggles with injury and the obvious coronavirus uncertainty meant that Murray hadn't made an appearance at Wimbledon in four years heading into the 2021 tournament.

He'd managed just two wins in major singles matches all year and there were some signs of rust against his Georgian opponent, who entered seeded at 24th.

But Murray banished his demons with a four-set victory that announced he was back.

Otte comes in sharp having come through two rounds of qualifying to set up a showpiece meeting with Murray.

He is yet to crack the world top 100 but a win over Wimbledon's darling and one of Scotland's all-time sporting greats would do him the world of good.

It's set to be an intriguing match and it's on third at centre court on Monday.

That means the match is pencilled in for around 4.45pm UK time – though that could vary depending on how long the earlier matches run.

The centre court action gets started at 1.30pm with Novak Djokovic taking on Kevin Anderson before the UK's Katie Boulter faces second seed Aryna Sabalenka.

If those matches are wrapped up quickly then Murray could be on earlier than expected – though it could equally take a little longer if they go all the way.

BBC One and Two will be showing all the Wimbledon action throughout the day, with Murray's game set to be shown on BBC One when it gets started.
