Andy Murray will aim to progress to the third round when he takes on Lu Yen-hsun on Centre Court but the 2013 Wimbledon champion is not the only Briton in action.
Johanna Konta, who won her rain-hit match against Mónica Puig on Wednesday for her first victory at the championships, faces the 2014 runner-up, Eugenie Bouchard, in the second round.
Dan Evans will hope to continue his match against Alexandr Dolgopolov, which was halted by drizzle, with Heather Watson facing the same situation, against Annika Beck.
The No8 seed Venus Williams, 36, played her first-round match on Court One but is relegated to Court 18, with a seating capacity of around 800, for her match with Greece’s Maria Sakkari.
A backlog of matches caused by the wet weather means Thursday is busier than usual. However the decision to afford the former champion such a small stage for what may be one of her final Wimbledon matches drew adverse comments from many fans.
