    The first line call decision disputed followed by break point.

    Plenty of shouts of “Go Cam”.

    But Bedene holds and Norrie holds his towel longer than he perhaps wanted to.

    Next game, Bedene breaks thanks to the Brit’s double fault.

    It’s 19:00 BST, baking on Court 14 and Bedene is in pole position to level.

  2. 'Dimitrov couldn't handle the pressure'published at 19:03 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    We saw guys lacking confidence for different reasons. Wawrinka coming back from injury, the other inexplicable. Dimitrov couldn't handle the expectation, the pressure he put on himself. When push comes to shove he's coming up empty. It's a devastating loss considering he had opportunities to win it.

    Wawrinka 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 Dimitrov

    Stan Wawrinka's season ended at Wimbledon last year - he suffered with a knee injury during his first-round exit against Daniil Medvedev and he ultimately ended his season shortly afterwards.

    A nice moment for the three-time Grand Slam champ.

    That's Stan Wawrinka's first Wimbledon victory since 2016, where he reached the second round.

    Up next for Wawrinka is Italy's Thomas Fabbiano.

    Grigor Dimitrov looks like a really sad puppy.

    He's having a horrible year.

    WHAT A COMEBACK!

    Stan Wawrinka lost the first set in 24 minutes.

    He's fought back to send sixth seed Grigor Dimitrov packing on the opening day of Wimbledon. Huge applause from the crowd as Wawrinka raises his arms in triumph.

    Oh!

    Stan Wawrinka sets himself up nicely in a rally - and then misses a backhand.

    He's still got match point, though.

    Huge applause for Grigor Dimitrov as he edges towards the net and volleys a forehand that Stan Wawrinka ends up clattering along the grass.

    A nasty shank from Dimitrov flies high and long over the baseline for 15-30, before he dumps a backhand into the net.

    Now then. Two match points to Wawrinka.

    If you own a smart speaker, the BBC can take you behind the scenes at Wimbledon.

    Just ask your speaker to ‘Take me to the Tennis’, or ask for the ‘Take me to the Tennis BBC podcast’.

    Here's the first edition.

    At least we are starting to see Wawrinka play and there is still time to come back. He knows his opponent is not playing with a lot of confidence and he knows how to win.

    Wawrinka 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) 5-4 Dimitrov*

    Grigor Dimitrov is hitting out of the one bit of sunshine that is left on Centre Court.

    The Bulgarian aims cross-court but his uppish forehand drifts long, and Wawrinka batters down a good first serve to hold for love.

    There's tons of action still to watch today.

    Take your pick from all the courts over here.

    *Wawrinka 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) 4-4 Dimitrov

    The emotionless Grigor Dimitrov challenges a call after his passing forehand is called wide. It clipped the line... the decision is reversed and that's 30-0.

    Dimitrov remains poked-faced, but shakes his head after slapping a forehand long. A few nerves kicking around for the Bulgarian.

    And they're only increasing as Stan Wawrinka battles back to 30-30.

    How about that... an ace to settle himself, and he holds.

    One of the greatest shots in tennis history, Stan's backhand.

    Magnificent from Stan Wawrinka. Pick that out - a backhand winner down the line, on the run. Very nice.

    He storms through his service game to hold. This could be going to another tie-break...

    Monfils 7-6 (8-6) 7-5 6-4 Gasquet

    It's Gael Monfils who has triumphed in the all-French battle on Court Two.

    Gasquet, a two-time Wimbledon semi-finalist, was the 23rd seed at this year's event. Monfils will go on to face either Laslo Djere or Paolo Lorenzi.

    Deft from Grigor Dimitrov, hands as soft as... your strawberries when you've left them out in the Wimbledon sun all day. The Bulgarian delicately dinks a half volley over the net to leave Stan Wawrinka looking perplexed.

    He scuttles up to a backhand at mid-court, but lashes it into the tape. That's 40-30.

    No mistake off the next point for Dimitrov, a powerful serve proving unreturnable for Stan Wawrinka.

    Break point.

    Norrie takes it. Then lets out a roar which raises the imaginary roof of Court 14.

    Bedene broken? The support inside this open air court is largely on the side of the man with the advantage.

    One corner of Centre Court is still in the sun... it's Stan Wawrinka who's in the shade at the minute, and facing a break point.

    Grigor Dimitrov frames it long from the sunny spot - did it get in his eyes? That's deuce.

    And now Stan goes on the offensive. A fist-pumping hold for the Swiss.

  20. WATCH: Monfils challenges own good servepublished at 18:35 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

    Oh Gael!

    The eccentric Frenchman is at it again out on Court Two - he's challenged his own serve which was called good by the officials as he believed it was out and had already given up on the point - Hawk Eye confirmed it was in and Monfils lost the point.
