  1. Japan meets Belgium... againpublished at 11:12 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    A funny moment down on the practice courts as Japan's Kei Nishikori and Belgium's David Goffin cross paths on their ways in and out of Aorangi Park.

    Why? Because Nishikori's nation we're knocked out of the football World Cup by Goffin's country last night. And in the most heartbreaking manner.

    Luckily Kei seems to have recovered from the pain, giggling when he spots Goffin, giving him a fist bump before the Belgian jokingly consoles him.

    If Wimbledon turns out to be as unpredictable as the World Cup then Nishikori might get chance to take revenge on Goffin in the semi-finals...

    The lines are being painted on Centre Court in preparation for day two at Wimbledon.

    Defending ladies champion Spain's Garbine Muguruza will open proceedings at 1300 BST where she faces Briton Naomi Broady.

    Two-time Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal is second on as he takes on Dudi Sela from Israel and women's world number one Simona Halep will be third on against Japan's Kurumi Nara.

    The courts are looking in fine fettle despite yesterday's heat and wear and tear from the players.

    There are plenty of England shirts in the queue this morning. Fans like Chris Portou, 34, face a difficult choice come 19:00 BST... stick with the tennis or cut and run to the nearest pub for the England game?

    Luckily, this is not the first time Chris has had to make this decision. This is his 20th Wimbledon and he was at SW19 when England played at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.

    “I know what I’m going to do,” he said. “Depending on how the tennis is going, if I’ve seen who I want to see I’ll bin it off and go and watch the football. I didn’t know England would make it this far and I’d already booked time off work to come to Wimbledon so I couldn’t miss it.”

    That image of when the hordes are about to be set free inside Wimbledon is etched with so many emotions - excitement, anxiety, fear, raven lust...

    Most walked briskly once they were given the green light but one man ran like the wind currently blowing through the complex.

    Some stopped opposite me to watch two-time champ Rafael Nadal knock the ball around on the empty Court 14.

    He starts his campaign against Israel's Duda Sela on Centre later.

    BBC Weather Broadcast Meteorologist Matt Taylor: "After the scorching start to the Championships yesterday, more sunshine and warmth is set to be served up today.

    "Despite the cooler start to the day temperatures will climb to around 28C this afternoon in a light to moderate easterly wind. The odd passing cloud may give occasional respite from the strong sun overhead.

    "Looking ahead …*BREAKING NEWS* there’s a very small chance of a shower later tomorrow, and a slightly cooler feel to go with it, but otherwise more sun and heat to come with temperatures over 30C this weekend."

    An early start for Johanna Konta on court two means an early start on the practice court.

    The British number one warmed up with coach Michael Joyce on Aorangi Park - a cluster of practice courts tucked away in a quiet enclave on the north side of the All England Club - from just before 10:00 BST.

    Joyce reached the fourth round of Wimbledon in 1995, but he is having a little trouble with his serves - gusty winds are blowing his toss all over the place.

    Nevertheless Konta looks to be hitting well and is relaxed as she laughs with her team at the net post at the end of her 25-minute loosener.

    Roger Federer and Serena Williams both won their first-round singles matches on a day temperatures soared at Wimbledon.

    Swiss top seed Federer, who is 37 in August, began his bid for a record-extending ninth men's title with a 6-1 6-3 6-4 win over Serbia's Dusan Lajovic.

    American Williams, 36, battled blustery conditions to reach the second round with a 7-5 6-3 victory over Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus.

    British wildcard Katie Swan reached the second round for the first time as she beat world number 36 Irina-Camelia Begu 6-2 6-2.

    US Open champion Sloane Stephens and fifth seed Elina Svitolina were the biggest casualties on the opening day.

    Five-time winner Venus Williams overcame a sluggish start to clinch a 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 6-1 victory over Sweden's Johanna Larsson but second seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark only needed 59 minutes to beat American Varvara Lepchenko 6-0 6-3.

    World number ones Rafael Nadal and Simona Halep also play on day two.

    Spain's Nadal, seeded second behind Roger Federer, faces Israel's Dudi Sela second on Centre Court in a match which is followed by Halep's meeting with Japan's Kurumi Nara.

    Three-time champion Novak Djokovic, seeded 12th, meets American Tennys Sandgren, while four other of the men's top 10 seeds - Alexander Zverev, Juan Martin del Potro, Dominic Thiem and David Goffin - are also in action.

    Former champions Petra Kvitova and Maria Sharapova, plus the match between former finalists Angelique Kerber and Vera Zvonareva, are among the highlights in the women's draw.

    And then there's British number one Kyle Edmund, who begins his Wimbledon charge against Australia's Alex Bolt on Court One from 13:00 BST.

    Edmund went beyond the opening round for the first time at last year's Wimbledon, and he is seeded at the event for the first time.

    Wildcard Jay Clarke is the first in action in the men's draw when he takes on Ernest Gulbis on court 18 from 11:30.

    Yes, there are no fewer than eight Britons in action today.

    Six of those come in the women's side of the draw, with last year's semi-finalist Johanna Konta getting her Wimbledon campaign under way against Russia's Natalia Vikhlyantseva from 11:30 BST.

    Naomi Broady has a tough test - she's first on Centre Court from 13:00 against defending champ Garbine Muguruza.

    Heather Watson plays Kirsten Flipkens fourth on court 12, while Gabriella Taylor is second on court 14 against 2014 finalist Eugenie Bouchard.

    Taylor is followed by Katie Boulter, who faces Veronica Cepede Royg, and then Katy Dunne is still waiting to hear where her match against 2017 French Open champ Jelena Ostapenko will be held.
