Former Great Britain Fed Cup coach Jason Goodall on BBC Two: "It's a bit of a shock when you are as good as Ferrer to be blown away 6-0 in the second set by a guy who is ranked 118. Can Kuznetsov keep this going for the next two to two-and-a-half hours? It is going to be difficult."

In nine previous appearances at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic has only once failed to reach the third round, losing in round two to Marat Safin in 2008 when he was the third seed. This was also the last occasion he failed to reach the third round at any Grand Slam.

The players have taken a seat for a final sip of water and a quick face wipe with their towel before proceedings get under way.

The players are out on Centre Court, with Radek Stepanek feeding the ball up and Novak Djokovic practising some smashes in the warm up. The royal box is almost empty, but the players' box is starting to fill up. Djokovic's coach Boris Becker is in position.

The tables have turned on court two, with Andrey Kuznetsov racing through the second set 6-0 in just 23 minutes to level the match against seventh seed David Ferrer. Perhaps a change of shirt will help the Spaniard... find out by clicking on the live tab above to follow the match in all its glory.

All over in the epic slugfest on court 17, with Jeremy Chardy prevailing over Marinko Matosevic. Double fist pumps in the air for the French former Australian Open quarter-finalist.

It took four hours and 15 minutes, five sets, and is by some distance the longest match of this Wimbledon so far.

Ultimately Matosevic will rue his ill-discipline. Despite striking a dozen more winners in the match, 70 unforced errors (17 more than Chardy) have done for him. No wonder his shoulders are slumped as he heads disconsolately for the showers.

Top seed Novak Djokovic is next out on Centre Court, the world number two taking on Radek Stepanek who beat Andy Murray at Queen's. A top seed has lost in the second round at Wimbledon just once in the Open era, when Djokovic's coach Boris Becker lost to Peter Doohan in 1987.

Grigor Dimitrov, speaking to BBC TV's Garry Richardson after beating Luke Saville 6-3 6-2 6-4: "It's the first time I've played on Centre Court. I was extremely happy out there. I'm feeling confident at the moment. Today was one of those days I wanted to enjoy, play some good shots and finish the match in three sets.

"You don't get the chance to go on that court every day - so I wanted to make the most of it. I wanted to play the right shots and be compact. I faced a tough opponent, and I had to be really composed for the whole match.

"I love this tournament. step by step, I'm achieving some of the things that I want, but I'm not done yet."

John McEnerney:, external D Ferrer the best player not to have won a Grand Slam, he's a top pro just he's around the same time as the Big four! Great ability and fight!

Grant Campbell:, external I still think Grigor Dimitrov is the next big thing to come out of men's tennis. He's a Grand Slam champion in the making.

"Kuznetsov goes long. Set to Ferrer, having saved four set points a couple of games ago. His know-how sees him through ultimately at the key moment."

"That was a really professional performance from Grigor Dimitrov. He gave very little away. He was aggressive from the baseline, dominated with his forehand and moved well. He and his coach Roger Rasheed will be very pleased with that performance.

"Dimitrov is an outstanding prospect. I'm sure he's going to around for many more years to come, and that's a good thing for the game."

Grigor Dimitrov reaches the third third round at Wimbledon for the first time in five appearances with a 6-3 6-2 6-4 win over Luke Saville.

"That's the perfect start to Petra Kvitova's Wimbledon challenge. That should give her a lot of confidence as she prepares to face Venus Williams next. She's kept her court time down to a minimum, and that should keep her ailments in check. Her camp were very pleased with that."

Petra Kvitova, speaking to BBC TV's Phil Jones after beating Mona Barthel 6-2 6-0: "I'm holding up well. I had a hamstring injury from the tournament in Lisbon, and I'm taking care of it, but it's getting better.

"I felt really good on the court. Grass is my favourite surface, and Wimbledon always gives me nice memories, having won here in 2011. I know I can play well on this court; it's the best tournament for me.

"I've just found out I'm playing Venus Williams next. It's going to be tough. She's a great champion and she's going to be a tough opponent."

It'll be a battle of the former champions in round three with Petra Kvitova, winner in 2011, taking on five-time champion Venus Williams.

The stats show why Petra Kvitova needed just 54 minutes to beat Mona Barthel with the Czech player serving up seven aces to Barthel's on. The former champion won over 70% of points on her first serve and almost 60% of points won off her second. Barthel's second serve was savaged by Kvitova, the German winning just 18% of the points.

Petra Kvitova needed five match points but she finally gets the job done on Court One, the former champion beating Mona Barthel 6-2 6-0 to progress to the third round.

Grigor Dimitrov has lost in the second round on his last three appearances at Wimbledon, but he arrived at the All England Club in better form having won his fourth career singles' title - and first on grass - as the number four seed at Queen's. The Bulgarian converts his third break point to go 4-3 clear against Luke Saville.

"This set of tennis between Kuznetsov and Ferrer is the best I have seen at Wimbledon this year. I would go as far as saying it is the best set of tennis anywhere at Wimbledon so far."

David Ferrer and Andrey Kuznetsov are currently fighting it out in a first set tie-break.

Alexandr Dolgopolov has hit an impressive 34 aces so far in his fairly epic tussle with Germany's Benjamin Becker. The Ukrainian leads 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-0) 6-3 2-3. That puts the Ukrainian's total of overall tournament aces onto 48, which is the current record for Wimbledon 2014.

We're at 2-2 in the third set between Grigor Dimitrov and Luke Saville on Centre Court, with the first two sets having been shared. These two are former Wimbledon boys' singles champions. Dimitrov was the 2008 champion, while Saville triumphed in 2011 and reached the final in 2012.
