    Edmund 6-2 2-2 Bolt*

    Fine serving from Kyle Edmund.

    He pushes Alex Bolt to either side, successive wide serves ending up flying out of bounds off Bolt's racquet, before Bolt gets on the board at 30-15 with a smash winner.

    Out comes Edmund's huge forehand, forcing the error out of Bolt, and the Brit holds.

    *Edmund 6-2 1-2 Bolt

    Alex Bolt aims down the line but overhits his backhand, and it's 30-30.

    Two terrific slice serves close down any hopes of another break for Edmund, though, and Bolt shakes his racquet as he walks back to his chair.

    Here's how the first set was closed out...

    Feliciano Lopez toasted appearing in a record 66th consecutive Grand Slam by easing past Federico Delbonis 6-3 6-4 6-2.

    Spaniard Lopez has now moved past Roger Federer's previous record of 65 consecutive Grand Slam appearances.

    The 36-year-old left-hander has not missed a Slam since making his debut at the 2002 French Open.

    His best runs at the majors have all come at Wimbledon with three quarter-finals in 2005, 2008 and 2011.

  6. Edmund holds to lovepublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Edmund 6-2 1-1 Bolt*

    What a get from Kyle Edmund! Alex Bolt dinks a drop shot over and Edmund comes charging up to the net and flicks his forehand down the line to go 15-0 up.

    Edmund loses his ball toss a little, the sun blazing into his eyes, but he pushes a first serve out wide to hold to love.

  7. First set to Muguruzapublished at 13:40 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Muguruza 6-2 Broady

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC TV

    It was a nervy start by Broady, she struggled with her serve and she wasn't moving as well as she would have wanted to. She didn't come out playing her best tennis.

    The defending champion is finding her range. She looked nervous at the start as well, which is understandable.

    There was a sweet moment down on the practice courts when Serena Williams spotted close pal Caroline Wozniacki chatting to some family friends.

    "This is Serena," says Caroline as she introduces one of the world's most recognisable athletes to her American friends.

    "Oh, we know!" comes the reply among plenty of laughter all round.

    Talk about American colleges and motherhood is followed by a photo which is sure to be the prize picture on someone's social media account soon.

    Wimbledon might be one of the most famous sporting events on the planet, but in this corner of the grounds it can have the same warm and homely feel of your local village club.

    Ah.

    Jay Clarke has hit a lull just at the wrong time. He falls away at the start of the tie-break and the shoulders start to slump.

    The crowd try to pick the British teenager up but Ernests Gulbis wins the third set for a 2-1 lead.

    Lee: Yes!! Jo Konta wins!!

    Joel: Johanna Konta wins! Only the first round, but many wrote her off so it's a great victory.

  16. 'Konta fought hard'published at 13:33 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Konta 7-5 7-6 (9-7) Vikhlyantseva

    Jo Durie
    Former British number one on BBC TV

    It got a little sticky half way through that second set. Konta fought hard and trusted herself in the end. A tough encounter but a good first match to win.

    I think she'll be pleased with that, her serve was working well, she was moving well.

  17. 'I stayed tough out there'published at 13:33 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Konta 7-5 7-6 (9-7) Vikhlyantseva

    Here is Johanna Konta after her first-round win: "First rounds are always tricky. The conditions were tricky, breezy and gusty, it didn't make it easy.

    "For me at Wimbledon there are some nerves but I enjoyed every second and was going to make sure I fought very hard every point.

    "I didn't do too much wrong, there are always things I would like to do better but I have to acknowledge when she plays good points. I kept the attention on my side and tried to keep the intention of play I wanted.

    "I am playing this championships independent of what happened last year. I am a littler wiser this year, working hard to be here for a full two weeks.

    "I stayed very tough out there. It wasn't easy, but I stayed my own biggest fan. I need to keep feeding myself good thoughts."

    Forehand to forehand, before Alex Bolt goes for a backhand slice - and misses!

    Kyle Edmund will serve for the first set after just 23 minutes.

    Edmund 4-2 Bolt*

    Alex Bolt blazes a forehand over the tramlines for 15-30 before he's passed terrifically at the net by Kyle Edmund.

    Edmund, not normally the most animated, lets out a roar of "come on" as he gets himself two break points.

  20. Tie-breakpublished at 13:30 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Gulbis 4-6 6-3 6-6 (0-0) Clarke

    The tie-break is finally over on court two and we're heading to another on court 18. There has been no separating Jay Clarke and Ernests Gulbis in this crucial third set.

    It's getting tasty too. The Latvian is getting a bit annoyed with the umpire.

    Can the British teenager take the tie-break? Watch here.
