  1. Watch 'glorious' Dimitrov drop shotpublished at 12:40 British Summer Time 6 July 2017

    As I said, Grigor Dimitrov is playing well. Watch this exquisitely executed drop shot as he moves towards consolidating his break early in the second set.

    Dimitrov 6-3 5-2 Baghdatis

    Grigor Dimitrov is cruising towards the second set, moving well and striking it nicely.

    Very nicely. He converts a break point with a lovely backhand winner down the line. Superb.

    This big man has now hit 20 winners, with 0 unforced errors. ZERO.

    Zverev 6-1 4-1 Kukushkin

    Number 27 seed Mischa Zverev is another man in a hurry, already racing towards a two-set lead over Mikhail Kukushkin out on Court 14.

    Zverev beat Andy Murray at the Australian at the start of the year, but he may not even be the best player in his own house.

    Younger brother Alexander is the one people are getting excited about...

    Kyle Edmund will hope to become the fifth British player to reach the last 32 following wins for Andy Murray, Johanna Konta, Heather Watson and Aljaz Bedene.

    Edmund, 22, fought back to claim his first Wimbledon win on Tuesday and end the hopes of fellow Briton and world number 869 Alex Ward.

    Edmund, ranked 50th, won 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-1.

    He will have a tricky test on his hands this afternoon against the French 15th seed...

    Right let's get into the meat of the bones then: Murray's movement.

    He's not being asked to race around court too much by coaches Ivan Lendl and Jamie Delgado in the first part of the session.

    The world number one's footwork looks tidy as he stays behind the baseline, knocking back some gentle ground strokes on both sides. No problem as far as I can see.

    The only sign we see of this pesky hip problem is when he limps back to the other end of the court for a glug of water.

    Grigor Dimitrov's aspirations will be to win one of these big events.

    I think having Daniel Vallverdu in his camp is a smart move. His career was almost going off track last year and has been with Danny almost a year now.

    He has coached two players, Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych, so he does know what it takes for Dimitrov to get to the top of the game.

    If you compare Berdych with Dimitrov you would say Dimitrov has more within his game to get to the point of winning one of these tournaments.

    Andy Murray is fine!

    England's batting order? Not so much...

    Murray's hitting partner today is Jay Clarke, the 18-year-old from Derby who narrowly missed a place in the Wimbledon main singles draw after a heartbreaking qualifying defeat.

    Clarke is playing in the men's doubles, however, fighting back to win in five sets alongside Marcus Willis yesterday.

    "Hey, great win yesterday!" Murray beams as the pair high five before the serious business begins.

    A gentle knock up to start...

    Dimitrov 6-3 Baghdatis

    Grigor Dimitrov reached the semis at Wimbledon in 2014 and he could be a dark horse again. None of the 'big boys' will fancy playing the 13th seed.

    He motors to the first set by taking the break point when it came to him, and then comfortably serving it out.

    It has been a good start from both players. Dimitrov has been dialed in from the start.

    It does look like Dimitrov has a bit more in his game than Baghdatis but we have seen over the years so many great performances from him.

    Everyone is hoping for the first real belter of a match in the men's event.

    Team Murray has arrived on his favoured practice court at the bottom end of Aorangi Park.

    Apart from the sound of strings hitting balls and a few clicks of camera shutters, it is as peaceful as your local beauty spot.

    Murray starts by going through a few warm-up drills - light jogging, sidesteps, etc. The sort me or you do ahead of a Sunday League football match or a 10k run.

    Out comes the resistance band and then it is time to crack a few balls...

    Ferrer 3-0 Darcis

    David Ferrer has got a walkover against Steve Darcis! He cannot continue. Another one bites the dust.

    Just 12 minutes of play possible on Court 17 and another payday to be discussed, no doubt.

    Ferrer, 35, last reached the quarter-finals in 2013.

    Seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova is not messing about. She has gone five-nil up in the all-Russian clash on Court Three in 18 minutes.

    She may be aiming to wrap this up in time to eat a baked spud she put in the oven beforehand.

    Ferrer 3-0 Darcis

    Over on court 17, Belgium's Steve Darcis is moving very gingerly in his match against Spanish veteran David Ferrer.

    Darcis seems to have hurt his back in the first game and is grimacing between points and shaking his head.

    Ferrer gets the early break and leads 3-0.

    The Belgian has called for his trainer.

    I doubt that any sportsperson who plays as much as Andy Murray does is ever 100% fit.

    Once you hit 30, it's all downhill too. Trust me.
