Wimbledon 2001 day three – in pictures

It's Wimbledon so, of course, that means strawberries and cream Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

There's no chance of getting in there if your name's not on list Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Get your balls, keyrings, hats, bibs, sweatbands, mugs, pens, pencils, etc here Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

... or here. The staff are about to get a whole lot busier because it's started to rain Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

If shopping's not your bag then here's another pleasurable way to pass the time whilst waiting for the rain to stop Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

There are no weather problems on Centre Court once the roof is closed. Which must be a relief for the delicately coiffured Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

It's no wonder Venus Williams looks disappointed – she starts sluggishly against Kimiko Date-Krumm and finds herself 5-1 down. The five-time winner discovers her game and wins the next five games to take the first set to a tie-break. However her Japanese opponent has the last word and takes the first set 7-6 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Date-Krumm found the second set hard going – especially against Williams serve, which was growing in pace and strength – and she lost 6-3 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Venus continued her dominance into the third set but Date-Krumm came back into contention to make it 6-6. However she couldn't sustain the comeback and gifts Williams two match points to take the victory. Venus said afterwards: "I just couldn't seem to get a game, she played so well and before I knew it the ball was past me every time in the first set ... I'm glad to come through it" Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

On Court No3 Heather Watson, complete with patriotic finger nails, takes on Mathilde Johansson. The 19-year-old was hoping to become the third British woman to make it into this year's second round, a feat that was last achieved in 2004 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

She starts the match strongly, forcing the 26-year-old Frenchwoman into a series of wild mistakes and breaking her twice on her way to winning the first set 6-2 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

However mid-way through the second set she grimaced after a first serve and held her right arm. After losing her serve she called the trainer on to look at her elbow Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

After getting it strapped up, she carried on. However the speed and effectiveness of her serve was clearly restricted ... Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

... and her forehand was giving her pain too Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Watson's problems allowed Johansson back into the game, eventually losing 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

There's a reasonable amount of spectators on Murray Mount to watch the aforementioned Scot in action Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

However not everyone there is interested in the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Andy Murray starts strongly against Tobias Kamke, including a 130mph ace, and takes the first set 6-3 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

The second set went the same way and although Kamke put up more of a fight in the third but Murray was too strong, winning 6-3, 6-3, 7-5. It was an adequate, rather than barnstorming, performance against a mediocre opponent but Murray will be pleased to have won in straight sets without expending too much energy Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Over on Court 16 Laura Robson took on 77th-ranked Angelique Kerber, hoping to post her first grand slam victory. The 17-year-old didn't start well and lost the first set 6-4 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Then things turned and Kerber, who had to have treatment on her shoulder, lost the second set on a tie-break Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Robson's comeback is complete when she takes the third set 6-3 and is understandably ecstatic – so three British women did make the second round after all (though at about the same time Anne Keothavong was on her way out against Petra Kvitova). Next up for Robson: former champion Maria Sharapova Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
