Another nine British players take to the Wimbledon courts on Tuesday as the second day of the tournament gets under way.

Seven Britons won on the first day of their home championships - a record in the Open era - including Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and qualifier Oliver Tarvet.

British number one Jack Draper has been handed a tough draw at his home Grand Slam.

It is set to be another hot one in south-west London, with temperatures forecast to reach 32C again.

Monday saw the hottest opening day of the championships on record, with temperatures reaching 32.3C.

Defending women's champion Barbora Krejcikova opens play on Centre Court at 13:30 BST.

The Czech - who suffered an injury scare at Eastbourne in the lead-up to Wimbledon - will face world number 56 Alexandra Eala of the Philippines.

Novak Djokovic, the seven-time champion bidding for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title, begins his campaign against Alexandre Muller of France, followed by French Open champion Coco Gauff against Dayana Yastremska.

World number one Jannik Sinner is first on Court One from 13:00 BST, taking on Italian compatriot Luca Nardi, before two-time champion Petra Kvitova begins her final Wimbledon campaign against 10th seed Emma Navarro.

Draper, at fourth the highest-ranked home player at SW19 since Sir Andy Murray was the number one seed in 2017, rounds off play against Argentina's Sebastian Baez.

Draper is one of nine British players in action on day two.

Dan Evans has had an emotional summer so far, beating two top-20 players as he bids to regain his best form. He is second on court 12 against fellow Briton Jay Clarke, straight after Heather Watson takes on Denmark's Clara Tauson in the opening match (11:00).

Jodie Burrage missed last year's Wimbledon through injury. She returns as a wildcard this year and is third on court 18 against American Caty McNally.

Another British wildcard, Johannus Monday, faces a tough task against 13th seed and former Queen's champion Tommy Paul of the US, while George Loffhagen plays Spain's Pedro Martinez.

There are also two Britons playing on court 17. Francesca Jones is third on against Ukraine's Yuliia Starodubtseva, followed by Jack Pinnington Jones against Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina.

Bad Homburg champion Jessica Pegula and runner-up Iga Swiatek begin their SW19 campaigns against Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Polina Kudermetova respectively.

American Pegula reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon two years ago, while Poland's Swiatek is a former junior champion.

Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina, the 2022 champion, faces Elina Avanesyan of Armenia, while Russian sixth seed Mirra Andreeva plays Egypt's Mayar Sherif.

In the men's draw, last year's semi-finalist Lorenzo Musetti of Italy gets going against Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili, while American 10th seed Ben Shelton faces Australian qualifier Alex Bolt.
