  2. Murray and Hingis take first setpublished at 12:51 British Summer Time 11 July 2017

    Murray/Hingis 6-3 Jebavy/Hradecka

    Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    Martina Hingis and Jamie Murray are the tennis equivalent of a showbiz power couple. Not that they're a couple. Oh, you know what I mean.

    Basically their partnership is as big as it gets on the mixed doubles scene.

    Apparently it was the Swiss Miss who came up with the idea, saying she made the approach because he "is too nice a guy" to do it.

    Hingis has won three mixed titles here at Wimbledon, Murray one back in 2007 and two men's doubles titles since at other Slams, meaning they were installed as top seeds.

    And they're showing why after comfortably taking the first set.

    Mannarino 2-6 Djokovic

    The advantage is back with Djokovic for a second set point but it's snatched away from him once again after a clever Mannarino backhand winner.

    After a fourth deuce, he brings up a third break opportunity.

    Is this it? Yep, he's got it. Mannarino goes long and it's first blood Djokovic.

    Mannarino 2-5 Djokovic*

    HOT-DOG ALERT!

    Adrian Mannarino showboats mid-rally but unfortunately he doesn't go on to take the point.

    And then the Frenchman completely mucks up another overhead smash to take us to deuce.

    A loose forehand gives Djokovic break and set point, but the Serb hits long past the baseline to restore parity.

    No rustiness for Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis after that rain delay.

    The top seeds have just nabbed a break in their mixed doubles third-round match against Czech pair Roman Jebavy and Lucie Hradecka.

    Jamie's mum Judy looks happy as she wanders in Court Two to watch her eldest lad.

    *Mannarino 2-4 Djokovic

    It's heavy hit after heavy hit on the first point of this game, and it's Mannarino who comes out on top with the winner on the 18th shot.

    The world number 51 then plays a smart forehand winner into the open court to wrong foot Djokovic.

    The second seed pulls level and he shrieks with delight after winning another glorious rally for game point.

    But we go to deuce after the Serb hits long.

    Mannarino tries an overhead smash but it's far too weak and Djokovic returns. Luckily for the Frenchman, he's in a good position at the net to volley the winner.

    He moves into a 40-0 lead and serves an ace to hold. Boom.

    We're back under way on the outside courts. After an hour's enforced break, the players are back out.

    An army of grounds staff started dragging off the covers just before 12:00 BST, with the net finally up and ready about 10 minutes.

    It's a tough job. And they're likely to be doing it a few more times today.

    Watch below how they do it. (Don't worry, it's not a 10-minute video...)

    Eric Timperton: Djokovic certainly wasting no time on court today. Looks like a man who wants to get the job done quickly.

    Mannarino is having to play so many balls way below the net because he's so deep behind the baseline.

    *Mannarino 1-4 Djokovic

    Novak Djokovic is moving around the grass like a graceful swan.

    The Serb holds again to love as he stretches to his right to tip over at an acute angle. Mannarino tries to replicate it on the other side but it clips the net and falls the wrong side.

    Mannarino 1-3 Djokovic*

    Novak Djokovic casually dinks over at the net for a 15-30 lead and Mannarino carelessly hits long to hand another two break points over.

    The Frenchman sends down a big serve which Djokovic can't return and pulls a remarkable backhand out of the bag to level.

    After two lots of deuce, Mannarino holds to get off the mark.

    How extraordinary. You'd think the doctor would be round the other side of the chair, seeing to Mannarino. He's the one that looks in trouble. Djokovic has hardly missed a ball.

    Because play has been brought forward to fit in the Djokovic v Mannarino match left over from Monday, it has left the Royal Box plans all out of kilter so there's hardly anyone sat watching the first match.

    Virginia Wade - the last British woman to win Wimbledon in 1977 - will be taking a seat as Jo Konta aims to emulate her achievement.

    Also in the posh seats are singer Ellie Goulding, and ballerina Darcey Bussell as well as cricketer Alastair Cook, rower Dame Katherine Grainger, Olympic champion gymnast Max Whitlock and actors Rupert Penry-Jones and Ruth Wilson.

    Next up: a hold to love for Novak Djokovic. Easy.

    Mannarino is clutching his side and looks in a little discomfort, but as the players go to sit down it's his opponent who calls the doctor.

    The medics pass over some pills to swallow and Djokovic returns to the grass.

    Mannarino looked a bit tight on a couple of shots and he's really breathing hard. He needs to rid of those Centre Court nerves, while Djokovic is already moving so well around the court.

    Mannarino 0-2 Djokovic*

    Adrian Mannarino - the world number 51 - clocks up two more unforced errors to give Djokovic a 0-30 lead.

    An ace brings the Frenchman back into it but a fantastic stretching forehand from the Serb brings up two break points.

    The second seed snatches the game.

    Hurrah! The rain has stopped. And the covers are off.

    The problem is the sky still looks greyer than a herd of elephants.

    Play is due to start at 12:15 - providing it doesn't bucket it down again. One suspects that the ground staff will be grafting harder than anyone today.
