Join us for LIVE coverage of the second day of play at Wimbledon 2019, with Roger Federer, Serena Williams and home hope Johanna Konta all in action on another busy day at SW19.
Eight-time Wimbledon champion Federer got his campaign with a seemingly straightforward match against South African outsider Lloyd Harris, only to lose the first set before recovering to take the second and level the match, while seven-time champion Williams is up against Italy’s Giulia Gatto-Monticone.
Britain’s Konta is also in action, while Maria Sharapova takes on Pauline Parmentier on No 2 Court. For all of the latest coverage from those matches and more, follow the live updates below.
