Times tennis correspondent Barry Flatman: "Djokovic is 28 years of age, has the type of body that suggests he has four or five years left in him. I think he can break 20 Grand Slam titles the way he is dominating at the moment."

Is there anything Quentin Halys can do to stop the Djokovic tide?

It doesn't seem like it. The Serb is in cruise control, despite the Frenchman's valiant efforts, as another effortless forehand winner hands him two break points.

He only needs one as a big forehand down the line finishes the set off in 28 minutes.

Halys is long with the first point but soft hands from the Frenchman at the net to level with a delightful drop shot.

Djokovic is just too good though as he plants a return plum on the baseline, follows it up with an angled drive and Halys is wide with a desperate attempted pass.

Novak Djokovic is in control.

A couple of volleys at the net leave Halys trailing in his wake.

The Serbian is going through his whole repertoire and he tries a casual lob at 40-0, it just goes long.

An error from Djokovic takes it to 40-30 but, no mistake as he hammers a forehand into the corner to take the game.

Beautiful from Novak Djokovic. He stoops low and sends a top spin backhand past the stranded Halys to move to 0-30.

Two break points now for the Serbian as he smites the ball into an empty court after sending the 19-year-old Halys wide.

The Frenchman is fighting. He saves a break point with an ace but the reprieve is only temporary as he nets to hand Djokovic the break.

Times tennis correspondent Barry Flatman: "When we were wondering how long this match might last, well 12 minutes for the first two games is not bad going."

Hello. Halys wins the first point on Djokovic's serve as he forces the Serb long.

Halys in trouble again as he sends an over head into the net but an explosive cross-court winner saves a fourth break point.

An ominous start as Novak Djokovic races into a 40-0 lead.

Halys hits a forehand wildly out of court and it is a game to love.

Hold on to your hats. This could be quick.

Here we go. 

World number one Novak Djokovic against French wildcard entry Quentin Halys. 

A lamb to the slaughter? Time will tell.

The last to be embarrassed? Jim Courier. The American was beaten by world number 193 Andrei Olhovskiy at Wimbledon in 1992.

In response to the BBC and BuzzFeed's story about suspected match-fixing, the Tennis Integrity Unit, external - which was set up to police the sport - said it had a zero-tolerance approach to betting-related corruption.

Chris Kermode, who heads the Association of Tennis Professionals, rejected claims evidence of match-fixing had "been suppressed for any reason or isn't being thoroughly investigated".

World number one  Novak Djokovic added that he believes match-fixing is not prevalent at the top level of tennis.

Read the response of the world's leading tennis players to the allegations of corruption.

Most of the chatter on the morning of day one was not about whether any man could stop Novak Djokovic, nor did it include analysis of the injuries blighting the women's top players.

Unfortunately most of the talk centred around match-fixing.

Secret files exposing evidence of widespread suspected cheating at the top level of world tennis, including at Wimbledon, were revealed by the BBC and BuzzFeed News.
