    Monfils 2-1 Edmund*

    Monfils is settling into this now and sends a huge backhand into a tight space of grass for 40-15.

    He holds with ease.

    The final shot of the game ended up with a ball going in the crowd. A man in a pink shirt has decided to keep it. The ball police will be out in force for you, sir. They're always watching.

    Kyle looks a little bit tight. It can be as if someone has put lead in your shoes and you can't get your feet moving. Hopefully he will run that off pretty quickly.

    *Monfils 1-1 Edmund

    Kyle Edmund serves for the first time in a Wimbledon second round. I'm nervous for him, so heaven knows how he feels right now.

    The Briton stays composed for 30-0, and watches a Monfils forehand go wide of the mark for 40-0.

    And Edmund goes on to hold to love. That'll do nicely.

    We are in...play!

    World number 14 Gael Monfils gets us under way. He starts by netting a drop shot.

    But the Frenchman recovers to 40-30, before holding with a substantial forehand, powered straight like an arrow.

    Monfils is a top talent and late in his career is starting to have more success, which he deserves, but ultimately he is a showman.

    This is a chance for Kyle to elevate himself. We want to see him into the top 20 and onwards and upwards.

    One concern out on Centre Court is that he isn’t able to show his character and let it all go on the court. It will be interesting to see if he can use the crowd on the court.

    Monfils v Edmund

    Kyle Edmund looks a bit overawed as he walks out on to Centre Court.

    The Briton glances up at the stands as the spectators clap him on.

    Gael Monfils, meanwhile, is totally unperturbed.

    Monfils is a bit nuts, he's super-talented, and he's got all the shots. He's an unbelievable athlete. All the players in the locker room are just glued to the TV when he plays, wondering what's going to happen next - sliding, splits, diving all over the court.

    Kyle has got to use his forehand well. They play quite similarly in that they both take big swings, and Kyle's got some real power on his forehand. He's got to play a great game and get in and be aggressive, take it to Gael.

    It's a tough match but I don't see it as an impossible task for Kyle.

  12. Game, set and match - Kuznetsovapublished at 12:58 British Summer Time 6 July 2017

    Makarova 0-6 5-7 Kuznetsova

    Opportunity knocks, no-one opens. Makarova missed out on a set point and she couldn't put it to the back of her mind, losing a break of serve in the next game after a double fault, a backhand unforced error and some sublime forehand hitting from her opponent.

    An ace, confirmed by Hawk-Eye, seals the match for Kuznetsova and she is safely through to round three. Great spirit and signs of recovery from Makarova but the damage was done in that first set.

    Makarova 0-6 5-5 Kuznetsova

    Over on court three, seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova made short work of the first set against Ekaterina Makarova. but her fellow Russian seems to have turned up in the second.

    And it's Makarova with the momentum, earning a break point and leaving her with a set point to make this level. She moves forward but a backhand slice can only find the net. Set point saved!

    An improved stretching forward scoop shot from Kuznetsova gives the two-time Grand Slam winner the advantage and a long forehand from Makarova makes it 5-5.

    An opportunity missed for Makarova.

    Doesn't look great when Andy Murray limps out of the court. But how much of a problem is it? Well, he's been doing it all week and has still breezed into round three.

    Of course, the latter stages of a Slam are going to be much tougher on the Scot's body. And on his mind...

    "Move Andy around the net a little bit," Ivan Lendl instructs Murray's hitting partner Jay Clarke, the 18-year-old from Derby who lost in the final round of Wimbledon qualifying.

    "You're being too kind Jay," the deadpan Czech-American adds moments later.

    Dimitrov is so good for men's game because he doesn't need to have someone down the other end matching him toe for toe.

    He is so graceful.

    It has taken 87 minutes, and 57 points, but there is an unforced error from Grigor Dimitrov! His first.

    And then he brings up the second set with a behind-the-back trick shot. Showboating.

    The 30-year-old Gael Monfils won junior Wimbledon in 2004 but his professional record on grass has been modest, with the third round his best effort in eight previous trips to Wimbledon.

    "He's obviously a very good athlete, moves well, makes a lot of balls," said Kyle Edmund.

    "He has very, very easy power when he wants to hit it. Sometimes I think he likes to put more balls in play, maybe use his movement to win points.

    "But it will be tough. He's obviously made the final last week [at Eastbourne], playing well. He's got good confidence."
