Dimitrov 6-3 0-0 Lajovic*
Grigor Dimitrov earns himself three set points on his serve and the 10th seed converts the second of them to secure the first set against Dusan Lajovic.
Thirteen winners and only five unforced errors for the Bulgarian in set one.
*Minnen 4-2 Watson

“Come on Heather” are the cries from court 18 as the Brit finds herself down in the first set. Some brilliant support out here for Watson, of course.
A huge roar from her team, sat in front of me, as she produces a gutsy hold of serve.

Image source, BBC SportYou can't turn up to Wimbledon in a full Union Jack suit and not expect any attention.
Not that Elliot Hill had any choice in the matter.
It's his stag do.
Elliot, who is from Wiltshire and gets married in Italy in four weeks' time, was informed this morning that he had to wear this patriotic outfit at the All England Club.
"I didn't mind I had to do it but we've got Court One tickets - I'll look a wally there watching no Brits," he laughed.
So Elliot and his mates, all wearing British bucket hats, were straight through the gates and briskly walking (no running, remember) to get to Court 18.
That's where Heather Watson is, of course.
Minnen 4-1 Watson*
Work for Heather Watson to do on court 18. She fell an early break of serve behind, quickly restored parity, but then a double fault on break point down handed the advantage back to Belgium's Greet Minnen.
Watson had a chance to get back on serve in game five but couldn't take it and is currently 4-1 down.

Once you join the unique Wimbledon Queue you're given a Queue card to tell you how far back you are.
Jonathan, Laura and Rafferty live locally but they've never been successful in the ticket ballot for Wimbledon so they've resorted to waking up early to join the Queue at 5.30am.
They're 2,309th in line, so they're unlikely to get one of the 500 tickets that are available each for Centre Court, Court One and Court Two.
But there are plenty of ground passes available and the family are hoping to see some of the Brits in action today.
A fine start by Denis Shapovalov, who has taken the first set 6-1 against number 19 seed Nicolas Jarry on court 14.
Elsewhere, women's 27th seed Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine is a set to the good against Nadia Podoroska on court four.
Grigor Dimitrov is 5-2 up with a break of serve against Dusan Lajovic, while number eight seed Casper Ruud is on serve leading Australia's Alex Bolt 4-3 on court three.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are in a similar bracket. Alcaraz has just won Roland Garros and is ahead on the Grand Slam count.
Sinner is going to fancy his chances. He was in the semi-finals last year and played exceptionally well, losing to Novak Djokovic.
I think those two are the favourites right now in the men's draw.

Anon: My bet: Tommy Paul in gents since his game is at this moment very complete and he can be mentally very strong and patient.
Naomi Osaka in ladies since her serve is one of the best and well suited to grass, her game is intelligent and she seems to keep improving at every tournament.

It’s cracking flags down at SW19 and judging by the size of this map, thousands of hopefuls will be catching a lovely tan. There’s an ice cream van and various food trucks to keep them occupied, at least.
Hopefully, they’ve topped up on their sun cream.

A delightful two-handed backhand winner down the line from Heather Watson and that gets her back on serve in an eventful three games in her match with Greet Minnen of Belgium.
It's a packed court 18 and this is already looking like one of the best early matches to catch.
Anne Keothavong
Former British number one on BBC Two
Novak Djokovic wouldn't put himself on the line if he didn't believe he could win this tournament and that is the mindset of a champion.
He's not your average 37-year-old. The way he has been able to bounce back from injuries in the past has been remarkable.
This tournament means so much to him. He is already in the record books, he wants to go down as an all-time great.
He knows what it is like to win seven matches here to win the trophy.
I don't think once he steps out there on the court that we should doubt him.
Tim Henman
Former British number one on BBC Two
To have had surgery and then to be back on the court and looking as good as he is is a huge relief for Novak Djokovic and his team and all of the fans here.
He has done such a good job staying in shape and he has had very few injuries over the years, having elbow surgery quite some time ago.
It is great to see him practising well but we have to reserve judgement when you are getting into these five-set matches.
If he does get pushed, It will be interesting to see how the knee stands up.
*Minnen 2-0 Watson (*denotes server of next point)
Image source, Getty ImagesOut on court 18, a tough start for Britain's Heather Watson as she had her serve broken at the first opportunity by Belgium's Greet Minnen.
Watson has been as far as the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2022, but did not get any ranking points for the achievement as that was they year they were not awarded after Russian and Belarusian players had been barred from competing.
Image source, Getty ImagesGood news. Play has started on the outside courts on time with no rain at Wimbledon.
Among those matches in the early stages are...
Dimitrov 1-0 Lajovic*
On court two, men's 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov is under way against the experienced Dusan Lajovic of Serbia and has held his opening service game to 30.
Bulgaria's Dimitrov reached the semi-finals in 2014 but has only got to the second week of Wimbledon twice since then.

Jarry v Shapovalov
Denis Shapovalov, 25, is a former Wimbledon semi-finalist who finds himself well down the rankings after an injury-hit 12 months.
He reached the fourth round last year but was severely hampered by a knee injury, eventually limping off court after his loss to Roman Safiullin.
Shapovalov did not play again in 2023, but he has secured notable wins this year over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Miami Open and Frances Tiafoe in the second round of the French Open.
The left-hander, renowned for his attacking, aggressive style of play, beat Murray and eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut on his way to the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2021 before losing to Djokovic.
A former world number 10, Shapovalov is currently ranked 120th, but he qualified for Wimbledon this year with his protected ranking of 27th. He is first up out on court 14 with a match against Chile's 19th seed Nicolas Jarry.

Alison and Ian are seasoned professionals at the Queue.
This is their fourth time doing it and it’s safe to say they’re experts - last year they were second and third in line.
The couple are a bit further down this year, somewhere in the 20s, but they’re still guaranteed Centre Court tickets and are looking forward to seeing Carlos Alcaraz, who is “a bit like Nadal” and Emma Raducanu, who they think is “a bit hit and miss”.
They were well equipped to camp overnight, bringing a battery-powered radio to listen to the England game which Alison said was “the icing on the cake”.
Men's 18th seed Pablo Carreno Busta has withdrawn because of a leg injury and has been replaced by a lucky loser, Colombia's Daniel Elahi Galan.
That's the third Spanish men's seed to have to pull out since the original entry list was named, following in the footsteps of Rafael Nadal and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Nadal withdrew on 13 June in an attempt to focus on the Paris Olympics and Davidovich Fokina dropped out yesterday because of a back injury.
