    Sabalenka v Kessler

    For about two minutes there was a bit of a breeze on Court One, which was genuinely welcome after the heat last week.

    Aryna Sabalenka may not be thrilled if the wind picks up. Her last two French Open defeats - in the 2025 final and the quarter-finals this year - came in cool, breezy conditions that threw her off her game.

    She got a good reception when she came out. This might not be the easiest match - McCartney Kessler reached the Eastbourne quarter-finals last week and won the Nottingham title last year.

    Serena Williams sustained a knee injury in her singles defeat at Wimbledon on Tuesday but her agent says she is "doing everything she can" to play in the women's doubles alongside sister Venus later this week.

    Williams lost her first-round singles match - her first competitive singles action for almost four years - in three sets to Maya Joint on Centre Court.

    Williams' agent, Jill Smoller, said in a statement: "Serena tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set and was therefore excused from her media obligations by the Wimbledon and WTA medical teams.

    "She left site that night unaided and is doing everything she can to be ready for her doubles match later this week."

    It is a bad reflection on the LTA that they didn't give Evans a wildcard, particularly given how badly the ones they did give them to faired. Evans has done so much for British tennis and he deserved better. Farewell Evo!

    Great Britain's Dan Evans, speaking on court 15 after his career ended with defeat in the men's doubles: "It was amazing. Sometimes you take this tournament for granted when you're in the midst of your career and you're trying to get better and better.

    "I said last night to my agent that I've really enjoyed just walking around, taking it all in and watching some of the other Brits and this week. It has been sort of fitting that I didn't really have to do too much so I could take it in.

    "I'm all good. It is just emotional, isn't it? You just think of your family and all of the sacrifices that we've made. You live out your dreams here, don't you? This tournament is what I grew up watching. I remember getting home from school and watching Wimbledon, and I was one of the lucky few that got to play here in the end.

    "Everything was worth it in the end. For anybody thinking twice about putting the effort in, I can tell you it is worth it. It hasn't been as bad as sometimes we think it is.

    "I've enjoyed every minute that I've played on these courts."

    ‘Three cheers for Evo!’

    The crowd respond.

    There’s a whole lot of emotion in Dan Evans’ eyes as he briefly waves goodbye to the crowd for the final time before signing a few autographs on his way out.

    It’s been a wonderful ride for the 36-year-old and it is clear to see how much he is going to miss all of this.

    “Thanks”, he says, as one member of the crowds cheering for him tells him well done.

    It’s an understated ending to his 20-year career, during which he was part of the 2015 Davis Cup team that secured Great Britain's first title in 79 years, but he is clearly appreciative of all those who have turned out for his last dance.

    Job done for Naomi Osaka, who celebrates reaching round three with a quick shake of her fist.

    The whole Osaka clan were on Court Two to watch and the four-time major winner sprints over to them and lofts her towel to her mum, who is dressed in a sparkly gold dress that is reminiscent of Osaka's French Open outfit.

    There's a big "awww" from the crowd when Osaka mentions in her on-court interview that it's her daughter's birthday tomorrow. Luckily Shai, who is turning three, won't have to fly back home on her big day!

    Luke Johnson and Polish partner Jan Zielinski are also out in round one, losing to Swiss-American duo Jakub Paul and Ryan Seggerman 6-4 6-4 in 61 minutes.

    I'm convinced Osaka is going further, no doubt about it. After witnessing the first round win, and I think she shifted up a gear during this match too.

    A really complete performance from Naomi Osaka in this match.

    It bodes well for further progression for Osaka and I'm loving what I'm seeing from her game.

    For the rest of Gasanova's career, this will be a great experience. She has had a lot great rallies with Naomi Osaka.

    There has to be a tangible factor to know what you need to work towards to become a better player, to become a more complete one.

    The crowd on court 15 are loving this as Dan Evans and Henry Searle bring up a break point.

    Evans has a smile on his face, enjoying what could be the final match of his career, but Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin take the game to deuce.

    Remarkably, Evans and Searle bring up another break point and make this one count, prompting even louder cheers from the crowd.

    Evans is not done yet.
