    *Halep 6-2 5-4 Nara

    Simona Halep to serve for the match.

    It's a little blustery down on Centre Court, but that doesn't faze the world number one as she picks out the chalk with a superb forehand winner.

    Halep saunters into the net to make it 30-0, before getting too much pop on a backhand.

    A thumping serve brings up two match points.

    Every time someone gets in front in this match, they're instantly brought back to parity.

    *Halep 6-2 5-4 Nara

    Can Kurumi Nara prolong what seems like the inevitable?

    The Japanese scuttles around the baseline, before popping a backhand long that makes it 30-30.

    Simona Halep prods the next one beyond the baseline and hands Nara the chance to hold. She does.

    Halep 6-2 5-3 Nara*

    Deep, punchy groundstrokes from Simona Halep as she gets Kurumi Nara on the run, but the Romanian clips the net and it tees up the world number 100 for a slapping forehand winner.

    Nara thumps long from the next point, and then Halep edges wide. Deuce.

    Halep drags an ace out of her box of tricks and holds.

    She's a game away...

    *Halep 6-2 4-3 Nara

    Another solid hold for Kurumi Nara. But she is still down a break and needs some magic on the Simona Halep serve next...

    Djokovic 4-2 Sandgren*

    Novak Djokovic is still a break to the good against Tennys Sandgren, but the American is playing his part in their first-round encounter, including this corker...

    *Boulter 6-4 5-7 1-2 Cepede Royg

    Every so often, Katie Boulter finds a terrific forehand winner that her opponent can't get hold of.

    And then there's a loose shot or two that hands her opponent a point. Veronica Cepede Royg holds to 30.

  12. Postpublished at 18:08 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Halep 6-2 4-2 Nara*

    How about that from Kurumi Nara, ferocious - nailing a backhand that kicks up the chalk on the baseline and leaves Simona Halep staring at dust.

    Halep trots out the big strokes of her own, cracking a volleyed winner down the centre on the run to maintain her break.

    Less than an hour to go until kick-off in the England game but there’s no sign of a mass exodus on the hill yet. It seems Wimbledon is winning, for now...
