  1. Swiatek holdspublished at 14:06 BST

    *Townsend 1-5 Swiatek

    Cameras show former England cricketer Stuart Broad in the Royal Box, while I've also heard Radio 1 DJ Greg James and Iga Swiatek's father are among other special guests at Centre Court today.

    On court, Swiatek speeds through another service game and she is now one game away from wrapping up this first set.

    Royer 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-3 Wendelken

    Few players will have been backed as loudly on the outdoor courts as Harry Welkenden has been this afternoon.

    The 24-year-old has benefitted from a group of supporters chanting his name at every opportunity as they attempted to try to inspire him to a comeback.

    It's sadly not to be for the world number 202, who becomes the 12th British player to fall at the first hurdle in the singles at this year’s championships.

    There's a final chant of "We love you Harry, we do" as Welkenden leaves the court.

    I will assume that is for him...

  3. Game and second set - De Minaurpublished at 14:05 BST

    De Minaur 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 0-0 Burruchaga*

    Alex de Minaur is in the mood against Roman Andres Burruchaga.

    After winning a tight opening set in a tie-break, the fifth seed has raced through the second, winning five consecutive games to take the set 6-1.

  4. Royer 'fought really hard'published at 14:04 BST

    Royer 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-3 Wendelken

    Dom Inglot
    Former British tennis player on BBC TV

    That's a big win for Royer.

    He really needed a confidence boost, he's had some difficult times on the tour and this year he's not been the most successful but despite going down in this match he came back and fought really hard. That's half the battle really.

  5. Fery breaks again in second setpublished at 14:04 BST

    *Dzumhur 6-3 2-5 Fery

    Some fightback by Great Britain's Arthur Fery, who was a break of serve down at the start of the second set.

    He has won five straight games and is now on the verge of levelling his first-round match against Damir Dzumhur on court 16.

  6. Swiatek breaks againpublished at 14:03 BST

    Townsend 1-4 Swiatek*

    Taylor Townsend sees the funny side as she gets a volley wrong at the net, with the ball plodding at her feet.

    The American fails to recover fully as she mistimes a later volley at the net to give Iga Swiatek the double break.

    It's a long way back for Townsend now in this first set.

  7. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Royerpublished at 14:00 BST

    Royer 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-3 Wendelken

    Harry Wendelken's Wimbledon debut is over - the British wildcard is beaten in four sets by France's Valentin Royer.

    Katie Swan, who won her first-round match earlier today, is currently the only British player through to the second round of either the men's or women's singles.

  8. Royer breaks and serving for matchpublished at 13:59 BST

    *Royer 4-6 6-3 6-3 5-3 Wendelken

    Valentin Royer clenches his fist towards his coaching team as he breaks Harry Wendelken's serve and he will now have the chance to serve for the match.

  9. Swiatek holdspublished at 13:57 BST

    *Townsend 1-3 Swiatek

    Iga Swiatek is finding her groove now as the Polish third seed races through her service game in a hold to love to consolidate the break.

  10. 'Psychological hangover' for Wendelken?published at 13:57 BST

    Royer 4-6 6-3 6-3 4-3 Wendelken*

    Dom Inglot
    Former British tennis player on BBC TV

    I think this is around the time where you need to be really mentally strong if you're Wendelken.

    When you've had a couple of opportunities and you don't take them, in the back of your mind it can just creep in - 'did I miss the boat here? Will this come back to bite me?'

    You start having that psychological hangover and you start thinking of it on your own service game.

  11. Game and second set - Michelsenpublished at 13:56 BST

    Michelsen 6-3 6-4 0-0 Fearnley*

    A mountain for Jacob Fearnley to climb now - he's two sets down to American Alex Michelsen.

    Better news for fellow Briton Arthur Fery, though - he's broken back against Damir Dzumhur and is back on serve in the second set having lost the first 6-3.

  12. Game and second set - Sheltonpublished at 13:56 BST

    *Virtanen 6-4 3-6 0-0 Shelton

    It's 1-1 on court two, with fourth seed Ben Shelton taking the second set 6-3 against Otto Virtanen.

    Townsend 1-2 Swiatek*

    Amy Lofthouse
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    It's difficult to know what to expect from Iga Swiatek - as that first game on her serve showed.

    She hasn't won a title since Wimbledon last year and she only played one grass-court tournament in the lead-up to this year's championships.

    Under pressure, she can become more error-strewn in an attempt to hit her way out of trouble. But that was an impressive hold against Taylor Townsend from 0-40 down.

  14. Swiatek breakspublished at 13:55 BST

    Townsend 1-2 Swiatek*

    Iga Swiatek makes Taylor Townsend pay for not taking those five break points in the previous game as she brings up three break points of her own.

    The defending champion only needs two chances as Townsend goes long.

    Swiatek clenches her fist in celebration and runs over to her chair before the change of ends.

  15. Swiatek holdspublished at 13:52 BST

    *Townsend 1-1 Swiatek

    Taylor Townsend is applying some early pressure here as Iga Swiatek has to save five break points.

    The defending champion comes through a tough game as Townsend puts a forehand long on the stretch.

    Will Townsend go on to regret not taking one of those early chances?

    A member of staff returns with a restrung racquet for American Alex Michelsen.

    “Who’s got scissors?” jokes somebody in the crowd beside me.

    The 21-year-old world number 46 is continuing to make life very difficult for Jacob Fearnley with his huge, clean groundstrokes as he closes in on a two-set lead.

    Townsend v Swiatek

    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    You may remember that Iga Swiatek walked out of Wimbledon last year with the trophy and a stack of towels that she had been, er, “collecting” throughout the fortnight.

    She’s already steered on her collection for this year after giving away most of last year’s stash to her friends and family.

  18. Game and first set - Fritzpublished at 13:45 BST

    Fritz 6-3 0-0 Lajovic*

    On court one, sixth seed Taylor Fritz has just wrapped up the first set against Dusan Lajovic.

    Fritz made the decisive break in the eighth game, converting his third break point.

    The American clinched the set with a hold to love and dropped just three points across his four service games.

  19. Townsend holdspublished at 13:45 BST

    Townsend 1-0 Swiatek*

    It's a confident start from both players, with Iga Swiatek taking advantage of a slip from Taylor Townsend to whip a forehand past the American.

    Townsend recovers well with some strong first serves to hold.

    BBC Two is showing Briton Harry Wendelken's match against Valentin Royer right now, but you can watch Townsend and Swiatek on Centre Court here.

  20. 'GB don't have enough players entering by their own ranking'published at 13:42 BST

    Brits struggle on day one and day two in SW19

    Marion Bartoli
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    When you look at the numbers, the only issue I'm finding - and it is the exact same problem in France as well - is Great Britain don't have enough players directly entering the tournament by their own ranking. There are only three British players in the top 100.

    The difficulty comes from the other players receiving wildcards, which are incredible opportunities but you are most likely up against a player much higher in the rankings than you. Therefore, you have to cause the upset.

    Great Britain have that young generation showing up, but they need to be inside the top 100 to give themselves a better possibility of going deeper into the tournament. Of course having seeded players is even better.
