    *Monfils 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 2-3 Edmund

    Gael Monfils is peaking again. Or rather Edmund is troughing.

    The Frenchman has two break points and snatches the game when Kyle Edmund messes up a forehand.

    Disappointing for the Briton.

    Have you ever seen Monfils dance? He looks like a professional dancer. I saw him at a tournament in Halle two weeks ago, everyone formed a circle around him. He put some moves on, he has so much more talent than just tennis.

    A fired-up Kyle Edmund takes us to deuce after slamming down with force from a Monfils drop-shot. That had bite!

    The Frenchman responds with an ace and a fierce forehand winner.

    Jamie Murray's doubles partner Bruno Soares is a happy man, and the duo are next up on Court Five. Seeded three.

    They face Roman Jebavy and Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic.

    Both players have peaked and troughed in this match.

    I just want to see more of a reaction from Edmund, he got the break of the serve and was almost apologetic with the last volley.

    It's trick-shot time!

    Kyle Edmund tries to flick over the net, facing the wrong way, but it drops out.

    Then Gael Monfils decides to impersonate a basketballer with a huge leap and slam dunk. He nets.

    Nice try, guys.

    Monfils then clocks his first double fault and Edmund earns a break point.

    The Briton takes it with a lovely little dinked volley over the net. Game on.

  9. 'He'll be very pleased'published at 14:49 British Summer Time 6 July 2017

    Djokovic wins

    Peter Fleming
    Seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion

    Novak Djokovic and his camp will be very pleased. He wasn't at the top of his game right away but through the second and third sets started to move well. He eliminated the unforced errors and looked like the old Novak. Will he be able to maintain that level when the opposition improves?

    He is starting to put it together.

    Pavlasek didn't have enough to trouble Novak. You need a huge shot to threaten one of the greatest defenders of all time.

    FYI - that last game from Monfils lasted 30 seconds. Remarkable.

    Anyway, Edmund is back on serve and is back in business. A volley at the net brings him up to 30-0.

    But then a fourth double fault happens. Doh!

    He pulls out his trusty forehand winner for 40-15 and holds with a snatch at the net.

    He started a touch shakily but improved throughout, and showed signs of his very best form in that second set.

    Novak Djokovic is into the third round. Will he go all the way?

    Kyle Edmund isn't the only Briton in action around the courts of SW19 at the moment.

    There's an all-British affair under way on court seven in the women's doubles with Heather Watson and Naomi Broady playing Harriet Dart and Katy Dunne.

    Elsewhere, Dom Inglot, partnering the Netherland's Robin Haase, is locked in a five-set marathon battle in the men's doubles against Philipp Petzschner and Alexander Peya.

    The score is currently 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 7-6 (12-10) 4-6 2-4.

    Radwanska 5-7 0-0 McHale

    Is this a shock brewing on Court Two? Does anyone even know what constitutes a shock in the women's draw any more? It's so open.

    Number nine seed Agnieszka Radwanska - runner up in 2012 - has lost the first set to Christina McHale of the US.

    Sometimes you have to get your emotions out, you're a break and a set down. There are 16,000 people watching Kyle Edmund, give the fans something to cheer you up. I find him too quiet, holding back too much. Do something, they want you to win.

    Another break point converted by Novak Djokovic, who chugs an entire bottle of water in one at the changeover. It's hot out there.

    Where are the thunder storms we were promised? Umbrellas are out on Court One, but only to shield the Serb from the smoldering sunshine.

    *Monfils 7-6 (7-1) 5-4 Edmund

    Kyle Edmund is back in frustrated mode after overcooking a forehand past the baseline. He's 0-30 down.

    The British number two gets off the mark when Monfils nets but another long forehand hands the Frenchman two break points.

    Edmund swats into the net. Monfils to serve for the set.

    Soylu/Wongteanchai 6-1 7-6 Minella/Sevastova

    Luxembourg's Mandy Minella caused a bit of a stir when she revealed she was playing at Wimbledon while nearly five months pregnant. She lost in the first round of the singles and she's now out of the doubles too as her and partner Anastasija Sevastova, beaten by Heather Watson yesterday, lost 6-1 7-6 on a sweltering Court 4.

    A strong service game Gael Monfils. Simple but effective.

    The Frenchman has started to look looser and more fired up after shaking off that earlier tumble.
