    Long from Casper Ruud and Laurent Lokoli has just taken the second set off the fourth seed!

    Lokoli is on fire on his Wimbledon debut as he punches the air in delight.

    *Broady 6-1 3-2 Lestienne

    Constant Lestienne is showing signs of improvement against Liam Broady, but the Briton has edged a break up in set two.

    The Frenchman won just one game in the opening set but reached 2-2 following an exchange of breaks at the start of the set.

    However, Broady delivers a couple of classy winners to take a 3-2 lead on court 15.

    You can watch that match over here.

    Britain’s Jodie Burrage is up next on Court Three and she receives a warm applause from the crowd.

    It’s quite tough conditions with the wind really starting to pick up and some dark clouds above.

    Burrage is up against tricky opposition in world ranked 67 Caty McNally with the Brit ranked 108.

    Can she replicate the form she found to reach the Nottingham Open final here at Wimbledon?

    Bit of controversy at the end of the game as a Cachin rescue attempt from a drop shot goes long but Novak Djokovic touched the net while the ball was in mid-air so the point, and the hold, goes to the Argentine.

    A thumping serve-volley smash at the net from Pedro Cachin saves a break point in his opening service game in this third set.

    Lokoli 1-6 6-5 Ruud*

    Curse of the live-texter as Laurent Lokoli wobbles in his latest service game, double-faulting to give Casper Ruud half a chance.

    But he's let off the hook thanks to a Ruud error and he holds with a classy drop shot.

    "Allez!" he booms. He's got the crowd on his side and the fourth seed looks a little shaken.

    Jodie Burrage goes in search of a first main-draw win at Wimbledon today - the British player takes on Caty McNally of the USA on Court Three shortly.

    A run to the final of the Nottingham Open has put her on the brink of the world's top 100, but she is not putting too much pressure on herself to break her Wimbledon duck.

    "It would be great if I could go on, play my best, win, everything be happy," she said.

    "There's going to be some ups and downs in the match like there always is. All I can do is go out there, fight and give my all.

    "If it's my day, it's my day, and if it's not, it's not. I'll try to come back next year."

  9. Djokovic saves two break points to holdpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Cachin 3-6 3-6 0-0 Djokovic*

    Novak Djokovic pounds down a big serve that Cachin can only return into the net, to save one break point.

    And then a 112mph second serve helps the second break point go the same way. Deuce.

    Some more big serving secures the hold from 15-40 down. Impressive.

  10. Two break points for Cachinpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Cachin 3-6 3-6 0-0 Djokovic*

    Good retort from Pedro Cachin at the beginning of the third set - a backhand volley at the net brings up 15-30.

    They will have to replay the next point, though, as Djokovic successfully challenges an 'out' call on the baseline.

    Oh and Cachin lands a winner down the line - two break points!

  11. Lokoli holds in second setpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Lokoli 1-6 5-4 Ruud*

    Laurent Lokoli is playing his best tennis, holding to love against fourth seed Casper Ruud.

    It was all so easy for the Norwegian in the first set - not now. We've got a proper contest and France's Lokoli is just a game away from levelling things up.

  12. 'Very little for Cachin to get teeth into'published at 16:22 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Djokovic is dominating. When he gets the opportunities he is taking them.

    There’s very little for Cachin to get his teeth into.

    He's mopped up the court, now Novak Djokovic is mopping up the opposition.

    Breaks of the Cachin serve at the start and end of the second set and Novak Djokovic is two thirds of the way to the second round.

    Just as the first one was, the second ends 6-3 to Djokovic. If Cachin is going to cause a huge shock, he will have to take it to five sets to do so.

  14. Garcia wins, Burrage up nextpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Garcia 6-4 6-3 Volynets

    French fifth seed Caroline Garcia has just completed a straight-set win over American 21-year-old Katie Volynets on court three, winning 6-4 6-3.

    That means it's almost time for another Brit to take to the court, with Jodie Burrage up next.

    The Nottingham Open finalist faces American Caty McNally as she bids to reach the second round for the first time.

    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There's so much power from that Djokovic forehand. His power is so underrated, it's easy like a lot of these great champions.

    He only needs one.

    A stunning cross-court forehand return almost takes Pedro Cachin's foot off, such is the ferocity of it.

    Cachin gets a racquet on it, almost in self-defence, but the ball finds only net and Novak Djokovic is two sets to the good on Centre Court.

  17. Two set points for Djokovicpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    *Cachin 3-6 3-5 Djokovic

    Pedro Cachin began this set with a couple of errors on serve to go 0-30 down - and he replicates that at the business end of the set too.

    Soon after a fizzing forehand brings up two set points for the Serb.

  18. 'Djokovic looks comfortable'published at 16:17 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    *Cachin 3-6 3-5 Djokovic

    Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC TV

    Djokovic hasn’t played tennis since Roland Garros. He hasn’t had a warm up tournament on the grass. He is just that much better than most of the opposition.

    He looks so comfortable.

  19. Postpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Cachin 3-6 3-5 Djokovic*

    Cachin just cannot get a look-in during a Djokovic service game, though - the Serb is hitting a big percentage of his first serves and that's giving his opponent very few opportunities.

    He has never lost a first-round match in 18 appearances at Wimbledon and you can see why.

  20. Cachin holds againpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 3 July 2023

    Cachin 3-6 3-4 Djokovic*

    He's still in this, just about, Pedro Cachin. The Argentine's serve has been solid in this set - just that one opening game where he was caught slightly cold after the rain delay.
