Follow the latest updates live from day four at Wimbledon where Andy Murray will return for the first time since 2017, while Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are also in action on a bumper day at SW19.
Murray will be in doubles action alongside Pierre-Hugues Herbert in what is his first match at Wimbledon in two years, having also announced that he will unite with Williams to compete in the mixed doubles later in the tournament. A court has not been set for Murray’s return, with organisers hopeful of putting the three-time Grand Slam champion on either Centre Court or No 1 Court, but the match will not begin before 5:30pm at the earliest.
Elsewhere, Nadal faces a blockbuster clash with hothead Nick Kyrgios in a rivalry that contains plenty of bad blood, while Britain’s Cameron Norrie is up first on Centre Court against No 8 seed Kei Nishikori. In between those matches, Johanna Konta takes on Katerina Siniakova, while Roger Federer faces British hopeful Jay Clarke in the day’s second match on No 1 Court. Follow the live action below.

This is proper grass court tennis.
CENTRE COURT UPDATE
Jo Konta takes the first set 6-3 against Siniakova – she currently has an 80% 1st serve record, which is excellent.
Would be lovely to have two British women in the third round on Saturday, Konta is half-way there.
Clarke 1-6 4-3 Federer*
Clarke does well to hold to 30 from 15-30 down, and it remains on serve in the second set.
COURT 1 UPDATE
On serve so far in the second set – 3 games all, Federer leading by a set against Jay Clarke.
CENTRE COURT UPDATE
Johanna Konta is a break up against Katerina Siniakova – she leads 5-2 in the first set.
COURT 1 UPDATE
Roger Federer has strolled to the first set against Jay Clarke, winning 6-1 in 28 minutes.
Jose Mourinho is in the house…

Here’s Kvitova’s winning moment:
COURT 1 UPDATE
Roger Federer is up an early break against British wildcard Jay Clarke – 3-1 in the first set.
RESULTS UPDATE
Court 1 – Petra Kvitova is safely through to the third round, but she was made to work against Kristina Mladenovic, but came through in straight sets 7-5 6-2.

A relieved Dan Evans securing his spot in the third round…
And here’s how Kei sealed it:
CENTRE COURT UPDATE
No clean sweep for the Brits today though unfortunately – Cameron Norrie loses out in straight sets to 8th seed Kei Nishikori, 6-4 6-4 6-0.
GAME, SET, MATCH DAN EVANS! Evans def. Basilashvili 6-3 6-2 7-6(2)
Dan Evans is through to the third round of Wimbledon for the second time, eventually wrapping it up against Nikoloz Basilashvili on his 5th match point.
A deserved win, by far the better player, and he’ll play either Marin Cilic or Joao Sousa on Saturday.
Evans holds and so does Basilashvili, and we’re going to a tiebreak!
Evans had a little pop at the Georgian’s players box, and Basilashvili wasn’t happy about it – the battlelines have been drawn!
Basilashvili holds for 5-5, and the Georgian has somehow clawed his way back into the match!
Evans scrambles from 30-15 to 30-40, but on his 4th match point a 2nd serve is in by inches after a challenge! Back to deuce.
