    Fourth seed and runner-up last year Kevin Anderson will begin his campaign against a player who may soon become familiar to British tennis fans, Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

    Herbert, the men's doubles champion in 2016, will be playing alongside crowd favourite and former British number one Andy Murray in the doubles this time around.

    Also in action from 11:00 BST is 22nd seed Stan Wawrinka, who plays Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans, while Spain's 23rd seed Roberto Bautista Agut faces German Peter Gojowczyk.

    World number one Novak Djokovic, 2016 runner-up Milos Raonic, sixth seed Alexander Zverev, Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas and British number one Kyle Edmund are all in action later on Monday.

  8. Anyone for...cricket, boules?published at 11:03 British Summer Time 1 July 2019

    What do you do to kill the time while you are queuing up to get into Wimbledon?

    There was improvised cricket, boules and juggling on display this morning:

    Quite a few fans flocked straight to Centre Court as soon as they passed through the gates.

    From our position overlooking the court, I can see many are taking the opportunity to take selfies galore before defending men's singles champion Novak Djokovic steps on court in just over two hours time for his first round match against Philipp Kohlschreiber.

    But look closely and you can see there's one key thing still missing...the net!

  10. 'Expect the unexpected'published at 10:56 British Summer Time 1 July 2019

    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC TV at Wimbledon

    The women's draw is so unpredictable. Expect the unexpected.

    There are five women that could be world number one by the end of this tournament. Nobody has been able to grab hold of that number one spot, it's so open.

    Tarjinder Singh: Nadal should forget the seedings relish the challenge of a harder draw.

    Jez Does: Today's jobs are done, for now... time to take in the tournament! Beautiful day for tennis.

  12. Southfields: Good servicepublished at 10:52 British Summer Time 1 July 2019

    If you're not familiar with London then you might not know Southfields is the nearest Tube stop to the All England Club.

    Thousands of tennis fans arrive here daily during the Championships and wander the 10 minutes or so, past countless shops and pop-up stalls providing iced drinks, coffees and sun hats, to the All England Club.

    With the station platform transformed into a mini tennis court, and the waiting seats given Wimbledon-coloured covers, they immediately know this is the right stop.

    However, I wouldn't recommend trying to have a hit on the platform...

  13. What's changed this year?published at 10:49 British Summer Time 1 July 2019

    There is now a roof over Court One. That means play can continue on there as well as on Centre Court until 23:00 BST whatever the weather.

    There will be no more marathon matches because of the introduction of tie-break in the final set - previously, players had to win by two games in the last set but if that hasn't happened by the time the score gets to 12-12 then a tie-break will be played.

    Fans will get more tennis in the mornings this year because the start time has been moved ahead by 30 minutes on the outside courts, so the first matches will begin at 11:00 BST - Centre and Court One will still start at 13:00.

    A quad doubles wheelchair tennis exhibition tournament was played at Wimbledon last year and this time around there will be a competitive quad singles and doubles draw.

  14. Why queue for today when you can queue for tomorrow?published at 10:46 British Summer Time 1 July 2019

    There are two queues at Wimbledon park today...

    Sarah Cassidy-Seyoum has flown over from Laos - she pitched her tent at 5pm on Saturday to begin queuing for Centre Court tickets for Tuesday.

    "I want to see Federer," the 25-year-old says. "I'll be camping here every night to get tickets for every other day until the quarter-finals and after that I'll be hoping to get ground passes."

    Oh, and this is the fifth year she has done this!

    Monty Moncrief: I'm looking forward to seeing what impact this exciting new generation of male players will make (Tsitspas, Tiafoe, Auger-Aliassime) but ultimately I want Rafa and Serena to lift the trophies and add to their respective legacies as all-time greats.

    James Spencer: Looking forward to seeing if the younger players (Tsitsipas, Zverev, Theim) can start to make a consistent impact on the majors. Can one of them break the big three stranglehold?
