The players have arrived on Centre Court and Court 1. Angelique Kerber begins the defence of her title against Tatijana Maria on the former, while world No1 Ashleigh Barty faces Saisai Zheng on the latter.
There’s been a momentum shift on Court 17. James Ward looked in complete control not so long ago. He led 6-2, 6-4, 2-0, but Nikoloz Basilashvili has fought back to snatch the third set 6-4, sealing it when Ward nets a backhand return.
