Follow all the action from SW19 as the grand slam gets underway.
It wouldn’t be the early rounds of Wimbledon if there wasn’t a rain delay. The match is delicately poised but the rain has to clear up first. There are a few more umbrella’s coming up as the rain gets slightly heavier. The word coming out of Wimbledon is that there won’t be any play until 12:30pm at the earliest. Closing out the action will be Murray, who faces James Duckworth. Murray made it to the third round last year but was emphatically defeated by Denis Shapovalov and admitted afterwards that he was questioning his future. The US Open champion has shaken off injury concerns but faces a tricky opening match against world No 46 Alison van Uytvanck, who reached the fourth round herself in 2018.
Wimbledon is back and there's a stacked line-up on day one at SW19. Join our writers for all the action.
So thank the lord for the closed roof on Centre Court and Court No 1, and discussions of the temperature and ball-flight therein. And by the looks of it, rain, even if “mostly cloudy” is the forecast on the official website. It would have been reasonable to assume that such a scenario would suggest a significant change at the top of the sport but Djokovic and Nadal are the main protagonists atWimbledonfor another year. He held his serve for the first game against Andujar, and gets chance for an early break, and one he gobbles up. It’s heavy, and the covers are on across the campus. That’s saved by an overhead by Andujar, but who double faults to hand over another, makes a bizarre, failed Hawkeye challenge on his second serve, then clunks a forehand into the ether to hand over the first set.

Raducanu will serve for the match. Forehand into the net from the Brit next point, 15-30. Second serve too... Break point for the Brit! 40-0 and three match points. Plus, she only converted four of 12 break-point chances, two of which came courtesy of double faults from her opponent.

Murray in control when they get into a rally though, as Duckworth dumps a forehand into the net. Duckworth with a little skip as he tries to send a delicate volley over the net, not enough on it. Pressure being put on the Murray serve. Not the second though, slice into the net and Murray has broken back! Couple of Murray shots float wide and it’s an opening hold for Duckworth. Duckworth with a challenge, as the ball lands right on the baseline. He was almost groaning in frustration before the ball left his racket. 15-30. Break here and the Brit will be serving for the set... Well-worked point from Duckworth, forces the error from the Brit. Can only loop it up and Murray’s backhand does the rest. It is extremely unlikely Murray will be in peak condition after so long blighted injuries but, should his body allow, the 35-year-old would appear to have a favourable looking draw ahead. Set point Duckworth. And he takes it!

Murray shrugs his shoulders as Duckworth wins four points in a row. A powerful service return from Duckworth seals the break.

He seals his service game with his second ace of the game after Duckworth strikes a forehand long. A sliced backhand dropshot is unreachable for Duckworth and Murray has another chance to break in the third set.
Norrie is through but Jodie Burrage is out, while Raducanu and Murray are among the other Brits in action later on Monday.
Raducanu though did manage to save two break points at 5-4 and serve out the first set to the delight of a crowd that grew fuller as the match went on, and more involved too. More than 15 minutes had passed by the time both women had a game on the board, Van Uytvanck saving two break points in her first service game and Raducanu saving three. Umpire Kader Nouri had to remind them of their responsibilities to remain quiet during the point in the second set, but the excitement approached fever pitch when, after exactly 100 minutes, Raducanu brought up three match points. She could not consolidate though, and was broken herself, before retaliating for the third break in a row. She looked almost incredulously towards her box after sealing the second of them. Looking to complete the job, Norrie broke once more in the third game of the third set, and though he had two match points on Andujar’s serve at 5-3, he failed to convert those opportunities moments before the heavens opened for a second time.
