And Dan Evans is actually already under way, with this first-round match currently on serve.

Dan Evans, the British number one, will be our main focus as he gets his tournament started with a tricky tie against Spain's Feliciano Lopez, the 39-year-old world number 90.

“I think there is a big sense of pride to be back playing at Wimbledon,” said Evans. “For the country, anyone who knows these two weeks, tennis is on the telly, I think my memories getting back from school, tennis would be on the television.

"It was just always on. Probably I was not taking much notice who was playing, but you'd see the grass in the background. For two weeks, tennis takes centre stage.

"That just is a fond memory. That's what I love so much about coming here, it brings back good memories of where you started out.

"Your opening goal is to get to Wimbledon. It sort of brings you back to being a bit younger and where you started out from. It's nice to be back here.”

Now I’m the other side of the grounds for Harriet Dart’s match on court 18, so I can’t say what’s happening with the queue outside.

What I can say is the outside court is virtually empty - presumably as a result.

British number three Dart has arrived nice and early, looking a bit bemused about where everyone is - including her opponent Elise Mertens.

Let's check in on the weather with Carol... 30% chance of rain, a high pollen count and lots of cloud, with temperatures reaching 18 degrees. We'll take that after yesterday's rain, won't we?!

There was another Briton in action, but this one is at the other end of their career. Yes, teenager Jack Draper took the first set off the world's best player, before Novak Djokovic fought back to win in four.

Take a look at the young star here...

But first... how good is it to have Andy Murray back?!

The Scot did not disappoint, sealing a dramatic four-set victory over 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili after failing to convert two match points at 6-4 6-3 5-0.

Basilashvili fought back to take the set, but after a break to shut the Centre Court roof, Murray returned reinvigorated to win 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-3 under the lights.

Patience is the key for those ticket-holders arriving at the All England Club this morning.

Apparently, according to one steward, there was an oil spillage on the main road outside, forcing a delay to the main gates being opened.

This queue was a good few hundred yards long, although those waiting were told the gates would be open by 10:30am.

In stark contrast to yesterday, it’s a lovely morning at SW19. Dan Evans has just walked onto court to a ripple of applause from the fans who have already taken their seats. Most are clutching coffees, but I can spot a few who’ve already started on a certain fruity alcoholic beverage.

This is only the second time Evans and today’s opponent Feliciano Lopez have met.

On the last occasion, the 2016 Australian Open, Lopez cruised to a 6-1 6-0 6-4 win, but Evans - the 22nd seed - will pose much more of a challenge this time around.

Yep, three Brits made it into the second round yesterday as Andy Murray, Katie Boulter and Liam Broady all overcame their individual challenges to get off the mark at Wimbledon 2021.

And a host more are in action today.

Rain put pay to a few matches early on Monday, but British number one Dan Evans belatedly gets under way against Feliciano Lopez, while Cameron Norrie takes on France's Lucas Pouille.

Francesca Jones plays American teenager Coco Gauff, Harriet Dart comes up against 13th seed Elise Mertens, 18-year-old Emma Raducanu faces Vitalia Diatchenko and Samantha Murray Sharan meets Sorana Cirstea.

Jay Clarke also resumes his tussle with Egor Gerasimov at two sets to one down.
