Remember, there's still a bit of catching up do after the bad weather...

The first match on Court One on Wednesday is a round-one match between Germany’s 19th seed Alexander Zverev and Gijs Brouwer of the Netherlands, who is ranked 153rd in the world.

Then we move back to second-round ties with 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens facing Croatia’s 20th seed Donna Vekic.

And finally, we’ve got fourth seed Jessica Pegula taking on Spain’s Cristina Bucsa.

No rain forecasted for tomorrow at SW19 (at the moment) so hopefully it's less of a stop-start affair on Thursday.

There’s some British interest up first on Centre Court tomorrow with Liam Broady playing fourth seed Casper Ruud at 13:30 BST.

Then we’ve got last year’s women’s singles champion and third seed Elena Rybakina in action against Alize Cornet of France.

And last, but definitely not least, the match everyone will be waiting for when two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray takes on Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The fifth seed has a quick turnaround after his four-hour, five-set battle with Dominic Thiem this evening.

Heather Watson has had some memorable runs at Wimbledon down the years but, sadly for the British player, not this year after a first-round defeat.

She was one of five British players to exit the 2023 event today.

It was a mixed day for the British contingent at Wimbledon today.

Katie Boulter brought her A-game to Court 18, winning a first-set tie-break and then storming through the second set to beat Daria Saville.

The British number one in through to round two.

It has been quite the day at SW19! If you are just getting in, here's a quick round-up of the day:

• Just Stop Oil protestors cause play to be interrupted twice on Court 18.
• Despite the second interruption, Katie Boulter wins her rain-interrupted first-round match against Daria Saville.
• Iga Swiatek looks strong as she continues her march through the draw.
• Also looking dominant, Novak Djokovic is marching towards history and a record-equalling eighth men's title, while Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Dominic Thiem in an epic five-setter and will play Andy Murray next.

Let's hear from the two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, as she gets over the line in her first round match:

"She always makes it very hard for me, we played last year. It's never easy to play at the beginning of the tournament and especially here being moved to the Centre Court is always a little bit different.

"But thank you roof for leaving it up today and thank you guys for staying with me and supporting me."

What made the difference?

"I was really trying hard in the second set to break her, and in the third set I had the opportunity again and I made it.

"I was really happy with my serve - I didn't lose it today so that's very positive."

Petra Kvitova says "it's always a little bit different on Centre" after her win.

Full quotes from the two-time champion to come.

Now then. Kvitova nets twice. 15-30.

15-0, three more points to go as a Paolini lob is too low and Kvitova volleys a winner at the net.

She takes the break in style, with a fierce backhand return.

That's the double break and the ninth seed will now serve for the match.

Two break points. Petra Kvitova forces Jasmine Paolini into an error.

Oh that is brilliant. Petra Kvitova has so much confidence now after that break. She goes up 15-30 with a superb pass.

Petra Kvitova backs up her break with an easy enough hold to 15. She can sense it, the second round is nearly there.

When Kvitova does find that accuracy the power is tough to live with for Paolini.

A double fault hands Petra Kvitova a break in the decider.

Jasmine Paolini can't believe it. Still, there's a long way to go.
