Top seed Novak Djokovic once again looked every bit the dominant player who has won the last three Wimbledon titles as he swept aside Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to power into the third round of the Championships.

On Monday the 35-year-old, bidding for his fourth Wimbledon title in a row and his seventh overall, had looked scratchy during his opening win against Kwon Soon-woo but he was back close to lofty standards against the 79th-ranked Kokkinakis.

The Australian famously defeated Roger Federer in the second round of the Miami masters at 2018 but there were no signs of another upset during the contest on Centre Court as the 20-time major champion dictated terms from the start.

The Serb, who defeated Kokkinakis in straight sets during their only previous meeting seven years back at Roland Garros, broke his opponent's delivery early in each of the three sets for a total of five break of serves during the contest.

Djokovic faced a lone break point on his own serve and closed out the victory in two hours on his second match point to set up a third-round meeting against either Chile's Alejandro Tabilo or Serb compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.

Harmony Tan branded 'unprofessional'

Harmony Tan - whose thrilling win over Serena Williams on Tuesday earned her legions of new fans at Wimbledon - has been branded “unprofessional” by her doubles partner after she pulled out of the competition.

After her three-hour Wimbledon debut under the Centre Court lights, Tan had been due to team up with Germany's Tamara Korpatsch for the first round in the women's doubles on Wednesday afternoon.

They were scheduled as the third match on Court 5, but Tan pulled out with a thigh injury at the 11th hour.

“Unfortunately my doubles Partner H. Tan retired from our doubles today,” Korpatsch wrote. “She just texted me this morning. Let me wait here 1 hour before the match start. I'm very sad, disappointed and also very angry that I can't play my 1st Doubles Grand Slam. And It's really not fair for me. I didn't deserve that.

“She asked me before the tournament if we wanna play doubles and I said yes, I didn't ask her, she asked me! If you're broken after a 3h [hour] match the day before, you can't play professional. That's my opinion.”

'Serena Williams' legend is secure but it is time to say goodbye'

It was a memorable finish on Centre Court last night as Serena Williams was knocked out of the tournament by Harmony Tan of France, who earned the biggest victory of her career.

In his comment piece, our chief sports writer Oliver Brown said:

Read Oliver's full thoughts here.

10:51 AM

Morning!

Hello again. Only been two days and it feels like it has been a week.

But we go again and it is another packed schedule with Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray on Centre Court.

British tennis had a day to remember at Wimbledon on Tuesday as six more players reached the second round, making it the best performance in 25 years.

Heather Watson, Katie Boulter, Jack Draper, Ryan Peniston, Liam Broady and Alastair Gray joined Raducanu, Murray and Cameron Norrie in winning their opening matches.

Not since 1997 has Britain had nine representatives through to the second round of the singles, while Harriet Dart can make it 10 in her delayed match against Rebeka Masarova on Wednesday.

That would be a figure not seen since 1984 and further indication that, after years of relying on a few star names to paper over the cracks, there is finally some strength in depth emerging.

For Raducanu, the US Open champion will be hoping for a straight forward match against France's Caroline Garcia on Wednesday.

"I think that it helps at slams that you get a day off in between, so I think that is pretty valuable," said Raducanu.

"I felt good out there. There were some tough moments in the second set (against Van Uytvanck) physically, but I told myself, 'Push through, if you win in two sets, then you don't have to play three'. That's the tactic."

Returning to Wimbledon completes a first full year on tour for Raducanu, whose tennis education was elevated to warp speed by her remarkable early success.

Familiarity brings positives and negatives, with Raducanu saying: "I think that it helps just with experience. Every tournament or every match you play, you learn something. It helps it all be a positive tool for the future.

"In a way, when you haven't played anyone before, it helps, too, because no one knows you, no one knows your game. That is something that I experienced in a positive way last summer because no one really knew who I was.

"Since, I think that people have definitely watched me and raised their level and raised their game and played some great tennis. I haven't necessarily played badly in a lot of the matches.

"I think that coming back here is always going to be a special tournament for me, my home tournament. I've got incredible memories. I'm just looking forward to playing here again."
