    Federer 6-1 6-3 3-1 Lajovic*

    A twang of the racquet rings out across Centre Court as Dusan Lajovic opens up his shoulders and whips a forehand out.

    It's 30-40 - and then Lajovic, hurried, nets a return, and hands Federer a shiny break point.

    Federer's first serve is working wonders for him this afternoon.

    The longest rally Lajovic can draw him into lasts just five shots, as the Swiss holds to love.

    Pliskova 7-6 (7-2) 2-6 6-1 Dart

    Close, but not to be for Harriet Dart earlier today.

    She pushed former world number one Karolina Pliskova all the way before falling in three sets over on Court 12.

    Shot!

    That's gorgeous from Dusan Lajovic, leaping into the air and battering a forehand into the corner of the court.

    Game point - and he nails it with another forehand that races through Federer's defences!

    Federer 6-1 6-3 2-0 Lajovic*

    Dusan Lajovic is not a happy bunny.

    Twice, he has Federer on the run - twice, he launches his forehand long.

    Deuce.

  6. 'I never give up'published at 14:07 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Only 10 active players have beaten all members of the Big Four - Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray - over the years.

    Juan Martin del Potro is one of those select few.

    He spoke to Russell Fuller about winning his maiden Grand Slam title aged just 20, and fighting back from career-threatening wrist injuries.

    I looked away from the screen to eat a biscuit, and in that time, Roger Federer whizzed through a hold to love.

    One of us is more professional than the other.

  8. WATCH: Cilic eases through with win over Nishiokapublished at 14:03 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Queen's champion Marin Cilic started with an impressive straight-set win featuring 21 aces.

    The third seed is bidding to go one step further than last year, when he was beaten by Roger Federer in the final.

    And that'll be the break!

    There's been no messing around from Federer today.

  10. Postpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Federer 6-1 6-3 0-0 Lajovic*

    Smiles all round as Lajovic charges to meet a backhand drop shot from Federer - and he makes it!

    Lajovic makes a mess of another volley, though, feet stuttering as he approaches the net, before he outpaces Federer with a return.

    The Serb just misses a forehand, though, and it's break point to Federer in the first game of the third set.

    Larsson 1-1 V Williams*

    Sweden's Johanna Larsson has not won any of her previous seven singles matches at Wimbledon and she faces a tough assignment today against ninth seed and five-time champion Venus Williams.

    Williams, who lost in last year's final to Garbine Muguruza, is now 38 and will bring all of her experience to court two.

    Watch the match live here.

    So near, but yet so...

    How many times have we said that about GB's contingent at Wimbledon?

    In all fairness to Harriet Dart, who suffered a horrible fall, she took seventh seed Karolina Pliskova further than many would have predicted.

    Her mother, an All England Club member, will no doubt have been delighted by the 21-year-old's efforts.

    Next year Harriet, next year.

  14. Game and second set - Federerpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Federer 6-1 6-3 Lajovic

    Wallop. Ace.

    That'll be a two set lead for Roger Federer, in under an hour.

    *Federer 6-1 5-3 Lajovic

    An ace from Roger Federer gets him going, before a serve and volley takes him to a 30-0 lead, teh ball pinging off the racquet.

    A move to the net doesn't pay off for Fed, though, but a pacier first serve wrongfoots Lajovic.

    Two set points to Federer.

    There are matches where you know you have to bring your A game. And there are matches where you practice and bring your C game, maybe even D game. That is what this looks like.

    Dusan Lajovic gets himself the advantage with a good, pacey serve.

    Another error from the Federer backhand, and the Swiss will have to serve this second set out.

  18. Lajovic saves set pointpublished at 13:55 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Federer 6-1 5-2 Lajovic*

    A longish rally - and it's Federer who blinks first!

    He aims a backhand cross-court and, rather lazily, slaps it over the tramlines. Deuce.

  19. Postpublished at 13:55 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Better from Lajovic, drawing the error out of Federer's backhand for a 30-15 lead, before Federer cancels it out with a winner of his own.

    Set point Federer.

    The big chat in the press seats isn't about Federer's tennis - it's about his clothes.

    The Swiss maestro, long the poster boy of an American firm who used to 'tick' all of his boxes, has decided to swap supplier.

    Not quite as seismic as Michael Jackson leaving his record company Sony and having a massive barney, but it's got people talking...
