Three-time Wimbledon champion on BBC TV

Whether you are number one in the world or number 50, when you lost to the guy last time out it can play on your mind.

This is a proper match for Andy Murray.

Looking for an omen today? Well, Andy Murray has never lost at Wimbledon to a player ranked as low as world number 29 Fabio Fognini.

The lowest-ranked player to defeat Murray here was then world number 19 David Nalbandian (pictured below) in the third round on Murray’s debut in 2005.

Pat Cash is looking forward to this one. We are getting going very soon.

Fognini's backhand is a solid stroke, he is very consistent on it. When he gets hot he can be deadly. He is one of the quickest guys on court around. He will have opportunities against Murray.

He knows that the more time he gets, the more chance he has. The courts are bouncing higher and playing slower and that will suit him - he is a clay-court specialist.

This one could get a bit feisty.

Italian Fabio Fognini is partial to a bit of racquet throwing if things are not going his way. In 2014, his conduct at Wimbledon, which included a couple of outbursts during his first round match, saw him pick a $27,500 fine for 'unsportsmanlike conduct'.

We bumped into Andy Murray's former coach Brad Gilbert earlier while giving a tour of the grounds on our Facebook page, external.

Gilbert is feeling confident that Murray can get the job done nice and quickly today.

"I like Andy in straight sets," he said. "I think he's looked really good in the first couple of rounds and I expect him to get better.

"This tournament is all about the big four and it will continue to be like that."

Two of Andy Murray's more chastening defeats of recent years have come at the hands of Fabio Fognini, but this time the Scot has the surface and home advantage on his side.

The pair, both 30, first played each other when they were 12 and share a 3-3 record as professionals.

Fognini played superbly to beat Murray in the Davis Cup three years ago and at the Italian Open two months ago, but those contests were on the clay of Naples and Rome.

"If I play like that, it could be interesting," said Fognini.

The Italian has never been past the third round at Wimbledon and will make his Centre Court debut today.

"Of course, he's the favourite," Fognini added. "I know my game. I know how to play against him. We know each other really well. I'm ready."

Andy Murray is wary of Fabio Fognini, whose flashy shotmaking could cause the Brit some problems.

"He's always dangerous," said Murray. "He's very solid off his forehand and backhand side, but he can also hit winners from both sides.

"He moves extremely well on the other surfaces. I don't know how well he moves on the grass but he certainly can play well. He's started the tournament well here so I expect it to be very tough. When Fabio is switched on, he's really, really tough to beat."

Venus Williams gets the job done.. eventually.

It's been a tough 47 minutes but the five-time Wimbledon champion claims the first set on a tiebreak.

Naomi Osaka was 3-0 up in the tiebreak but Williams won seven unanswered points to take it.

You don't win 49 titles for nothing...

How tough will it be for Murray? Well, Fabio Fognini has beaten him on three of the six occasions they have met, although this is their first meeting on grass and their first in a Grand Slam.

Anything else today?

Just the small matter of Andy Murray in third round action on Centre Court. It could be a tough one for the world number one as Italian Fabio Fognini, who is seeded 28th, is the man standing opposite Murray.

How many times do you think the Wimbledon staff on the path that leads up the side of Murray Mound have to ask spectators to "keep moving" or tell them "no standing"?

About a thousand times an hour, according to Sydney the smiling security guard, who says on 999 of those occasions, the punters do as they are told.

The exceptions? Er, that would include people like me. "Would the gentleman in the green t-shirt please stop taking photos and sit down, I know you can hear me," yells one of Sydney's colleagues a few moments later. Sorry about that!

Rafa Nadal has now won 28 consecutive completed sets in Grand Slam play, having won the title in Paris without dropping a set for the third time in his career and won all three of his matches here in straight sets.

He has matched his own personal record of 28 – a run that stretched from the quarterfinals at 2010 Wimbledon through to the final at the 2010 US Open.

Another rock solid performance for Nadal.

And now he has a good couple of days to recover going into the second week.

Venus Williams made her Wimbledon debut in June 1997. That was four months before Naomi Osaka, her opponent today, was even born.

Youth is more that holding its own against experience at the moment because Osaka has come back from 4-1 down and is level 6-6 in the first set.

Tiebreak time.

Three donations to Nadal in this tie-break.

Khachanov cannot afford to keep making these unforced errors.

Karen is miffed by that lengthy backhand return. Costly.

He picks up a point after a deep volley though, just about staying alive. But Nadal brings up match point with a gem of a pass!

What a shot.

Nadal's backhand could be the most improved shot in world tennis this year.
