Elsewhere, new World No 1 Ashleigh Barty will begin proceedings on Court No 1 with a match against Saisai Zheng.

*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.

2019-07-02T10:32:40.600Z

*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...

2019-07-02T10:40:58.223Z

*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...

2019-07-02T10:50:25.253Z

*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.

2019-07-02T10:53:57.460Z

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.

2019-07-02T10:54:11.750Z

Kyrgios 6-6 Thompson*

We’re into a breaker, as Kyrgios holds to 30 via some big, big serving from 30-30.
