BBC Radio 5 live

As intriguing a thought as it is, it won't be nineties chart-topper Mark Morrison taking your calls on the day's Wimbledon action on BBC Radio 5 live today.

Instead from 12:15 BST, seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe, who would probably fancy his chances in a freestyle battle against Leicester's finest, will be on air alongside Tim Henman.

Questions on anything Wimbledon and tennis are welcome on 0500 909 693, from 11:30 BST. You can also text 85058 or tweet using the hastag #bbc6love6.

Legendary tennis coach Nick Bollettieri has the voice of a mafia don. He also has several decades of tennis wisdom baked into him from overseeing the likes of the Williams sisters at his famed Florida base.

He has been running the rule over today's matches in Coaches Corner and comes up with a little nugget that I hadn't heard before, suggesting Rafael Nadal prefers the surface in the second week when some of the sheen has come off the grass and he can slide in the baseline dirt.

There is more where that comes from. Get across BBC Radio 5 live for more of his wit and wisdom throughout the fortnight.

And among the ladies...

Simona Halep v Lesia Tsurenko, fifth on court two: Halep played beautifully in making the final of the French Open, just as she has all year. She is looking to make the third round for the first time and should do in some style.

Ana Ivanovic v Jie Zheng, second on court three: Former world number one Ivanovic has had a decent 2014, winning four events, and will be tested by Jie who is 2-2 in their previous meetings.

Silvia-Soler Espinosa v Eugenie Bouchard, third on court two: Bouchard is the only player to make the semi-finals of both Grand Slams so far this season.

What else? What else? Well, plenty actually. This is a grab-bag of the the best men's matches away from Courts Centre and One.

Jerzy Janowicz v Lleyton Hewitt, fourth on court two: Janowicz reached the semi-finals in 2013, but has done little in an injury-hit year since. Hewitt, the 2002 champion, will have his 33-year-old bones energised by the noisy support of his fellow Aussies.

Milos Raonic v Jack Sock, first on court three: Eighth seed Raonic is attempting to reach the third round at Wimbledon for the first time and will be tested by American world number 77 and other half of women's star Sloane Stephens.

Jiri Vesely v Gael Monfils, first on court 12: He could be awesome, he could be dreadful, he may well be both in the space of a couple of games. The one thing you are guaranteed with Monfils is entertainment. He has never been beyond the third round at SW19 so catch him while you can.

Fans on Court One will be hoping that the Serena show includes audience participation like last night's performance on Centre Court.

Playing with sister Venus against Oksana Kalashnikova and Olga Savchuk in the doubles, Serena chased a ball so far and so wide that she ended up sitting on the knee of a spectator in the first row.

You can watch video of it on the BBC Sport website.

It all ended with a lot smiles than when she came out to the fringes of the court at the 2009 US Open and threatened to store a spare ball in the digestive system of a line judge., external

Over on Court One they have a top seed, followed by the Australian Open champion and the French Open champion. None too shabby.

This is how the day pans out over the way:

Serena Williams v Chanelle Scheepers

Stan Wawrinka v Yen Hsun-Lu

Timea Bacsinszky v Maria Sharapova

"The ace that was heard around the world." I'm not sure if anyone described it as such, but when Lukas Rosol walloped away a service winner to down Rafael Nadal in the second round of Wimbledon 2012 it was a seismic shock.

They meet again in the day's first match on Centre Court.

Following them, Britain's Heather Watson, the last remaining Briton in the women's singles, meets 2012 semi-finalist Angelique Kerber.

Last up to serenade us into the evening is that old smoothie Roger Federer who takes on Gilles Muller on Luxemburg.

Everywhere you look down to today's order of play are stellar names and tasty match-ups.

It is all kind of summed up by the fact that in middle of the day on court eight, hardly a headline slot, you can see British-based rising star Donna Vekic take on 2010 runner-up Vera Zvonareva in an teasing little riddle of a match.

So, let's let the names do the talking.

Imagine Michael and Emily Eavis have a year when they just get lucky. Everyone they ask down to Glastonbury, says, "yeah go on then".

Morrissey and Marr reform the Smiths, Kate Bush decides she rather likes this live performing lark, David Bowie dons his Aladdin Sane make-up and Mick Jagger doubles his dose of cod liver oil in readiness.

And the poi dancers and bongo drummers get lost on their way down to Somerset.

Well, today Wimbledon is a bit like that.
