Sadly we saw the end of Dan Evans' playing career after his earlier defeat alongside Henry Searle, but we have plenty more British players in doubles action today - quite the treat for those without tickets to the main show courts.

I've nipped over to court eight, where three of the four players in action are competing at their home Grand Slam.

Ten years after his run from qualifying to a second-round meeting with the great Roger Federer on Centre Court, Marcus Willis, playing alongside David Stevenson, is up against Joe Salisbury, a six-time major winner in doubles competitions, and Uruguayan Ariel Behar.

This is another well-attended match, with viewing space at a premium, and the crowd which has gathered here do at least have the comfort of knowing at least one British player will be celebrating at the end.

The first set goes the way of Salisbury and Behar.

Oh, that's quite lovely from Nuno Borges. Coming on the approach, he winds up with a flat racquet face before switching angle at the last second to ping a cross-court forehand winner. Cool as you like. Jannik Sinner was completely wrong-footed.

For a second time, Sinner will have to serve to stay in the set, but having only dropped two points all match, a tie-break feels inevitable.

You are really now starting to hear from Kessler.

The crowd wanted a match after the quality of the first set and they are getting one.

With help of her brother, you can see the tactical switches. It is a real turnaround now from Kessler.

It is getting better and better.

Aryna Sabalenka had the highest performance rating, which takes into account basically everything that happens in a match, in round one of the women's singles with 9.44. It was basically near-perfect tennis from her.

That metric isn't to do with winning or losing, it is to do with everything you're doing in a match such as how you are moving or hitting the ball.

She has actually come out the blocks today and topped it with a 9.49 rating. Her score has dropped a little bit in this second set, though.

Aryna Sabalenka keeps herself in the game with a perfect backhand winner down the line.

McCartney Kessler responds by going toe to toe with Sabalenka in a rally, before seeing out the hold with a strong first serve.

She's potentially one game away from sending this match to a deciding third set.

Nuno Borges rocks back his head in frustration as he nets a forehand off a quite pedestrian second serve. It was well-placed by Jannik Sinner, however, cramping him for room. 40-0.

We stay on serve.

Well that woke anyone up who wasn't paying attention. Jannik Sinner blasts a blistering forehand into the umpire's chair and it makes an almighty thud.

The umpire seems a bit shocked too, and there's a chuckle when he finally remembers to read out the score.

Oh my! Jannik Sinner, dragged off court by Nuno Borges' wide serve, slams a forehand into the base of the umpire's chair with a booming thunk. Sharp reactions from the ball kid to duck out of its way.

Borges breezes through a hold to love.

Sabalenka and the entire Court One crowd just gave Kessler an ovation for that point at the net. Stunning.

What a point as Aryna Sabalenka puts absolutely everything into a cross court backhand, which somehow McCartney Kessler reacts to in time to volley it over at the net.

Sabalenka responds with a forehand winner of her own, before shouting "come on".

You can't take your eyes of this match at the moment as a return winner from Sabalenka sends the game to deuce.

Jannik Sinner's radar goes awry at 40-0 as he puts a down-the-line backhand into the tramlines.

No matter. He comes on the approach off his next serve and drives home a forehand winner. One-two punch.

Now then. A rare chance in this match for McCartney Kessler as a long Aryna Sabalenka forehand offers two break points.

The pair get locked in a short rally and it's Kessler who triumphs as Sabalenka skews a backhand wide.

Kessler has the break!

This could be a whole lot closer than expected. Nuno Borges has impressed the crowd so far and he earned himself a deafening applause there with that delicious drop shot.

How did Jannik Sinner get to that? The Italian came dashing in to ping a cross-court backhand at a wicked angle, sliding a good couple of feet after the stroke. Nuno Borges was stranded at the net after following his drop shot in. 0-15.

Borges deploys a similar tactic two points later, but this time he wisely stays back and Sinner's shot doesn't have the elevation. The world number 48 holds to 15.

We haven't seen a break point on Centre Court since Borges' opening service game.

A superb passing shot down the line from McCartney Kessler draws one of the loudest cheers so far today from the Court One crowd.

The American doesn't stop to celebrate for a second and gets right back to business with another hold to love.

The world number 57 is rising to Sabalenka's game so far in the second set.

Jannik Sinner has only conceded one point across his opening three service games.

Aryna Sabalenka responds to that quick service game from McCartney Kessler with a strong hold of her own.

Both players are serving well in the second set.

Will Jannik Sinner successfully defend his title? Or will someone else lift the trophy on 12 July?

Let us know...
