    *Begu 4-4 Swan

    We remain on serve on Court 16 and we're yet to see a break point.

    Katie Swan's team are sat right in front of me and they're looking fairly calm at the moment, telling Swan to keep doing what she's doing.

    The 27-year-old follows their advice and races to a solid love hold.

    Boulter 4-5 Grant*

    Former British player on BBC TV

    Grant has had about 50% effectiveness behind the drop shot so far but she just went a little deep there.

    Right now it's the forehand side of Grant on this surface, on a faster court that Boulter should attack into.

    *Boulter 3-5 Grant

    Tyra Grant's first serve is a weapon as Katie Boulter struggles to get a return in play, which is followed up by an ace.

    Boulter then spoons a backhand wide as Grant moves to within one game of the first set.

    The crowd on court three are trying to encourage Boulter as the 29-year-old steps up to serve.

  4. A better day for the Brits?published at 11:28 BST

    *Boulter 2-4 Grant

    Harry Poole
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    10 Britons out on day one. Nine more hoping to avoid the same fate on day two.

    If as many as six more home players exit today, it will be the first time since 1988 that as many as 16 Brits have lost in the first round of the singles at Wimbledon.

    Among the first to push back against that unwanted piece of history is Katie Boulter here on court three, but it hasn’t been the start she wanted to this match.

    Italy’s Tyra Caterina Grant has the early break and consolidates with an ace.

    Shouts of ‘Come on Katie’ broke the silence before the Brit stepped up to serve, but they were replaced by groans as her tough start continued with a double-fault.

    *Boulter 1-3 Grant

    Katie ate up the crowd at Queen's - she really embraced them and they love her.

    She's got a great game for the surface. She's got a big serve, flat, hard groundstrokes, keeps it low and I think by having such a great event at Queens is really going to help her confidence.

    *Boulter 1-3 Grant

    It's not the start Katie Boulter would have wanted as the British number two's serve is broken early by Italian teenager Tyra Grant.

    Grant then consolidates the break, wrapping the game up with an ace.

    I am so excited to see Serena back.

    She waited to grab that singles wildcard at the last moment, she hasn't played in four years so I think the curiosity factor is just off the charts. How well is she going to play? She's won Wimbledon seven times, 44-years-old, two-time mum and she said that's one of the reasons she came back to play was to show her daughters.

    She has been training very, very hard and I think her draw is very fortunate in Maya Joint.

    Our first focus today is British women's number two Katie Boulter, who is taking on Italy's Tyra Grant on court three.

    Boulter comes into Wimbledon in good form, having beaten number two seed Elena Rybakina at Queen's earlier this month, before defeat by Donna Vekic in the semi-finals.

    Ranked 60th in the world, 29-year-old Boulter is the favourite to beat Grant, who is ranked 172nd and competing in her first Grand Slam at the age of 18.

  12. Swan's special momentpublished at 11:05 BST

    Begu v Swan

    Emily Salley
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    What a moment for Katie Swan. She's up first on Court 16, making her first Wimbledon appearance in three years.

    She's had a tough time of it in recent years, with a back injury derailing her career and making her contemplate an early retirement.

    But after undergoing "excruciating" treatment in early 2025, Swan has been able to stay on court and slowly make her way back in the world's top 200.

    "It’s hard to explain how much it means to me to receive a main draw wildcard for this year’s Wimbledon Championships," the 27-year-old posted on Instagram last week.

    "I love this sport so much and although it hasn’t been an easy road for me, I’m glad that little girl didn’t give up."

  13. And then there were ninepublished at 11:03 BST

    After 10 Britons exited on day one, the record of 16 first-round defeats for home players at Wimbledon is in danger.

    There are nine more Brits in singles action today, hoping they can avoid breaking the unwanted record which was set in 1988.

    First up is British women's number two Katie Boulter, who faces Italian Tyra Grant at 11:00 BST on court three.

    Wildcard Katie Swan faces Romanian veteran Irina-Camelia Begu at the same time on court 16.

    Men's number two Jan Choinski, Jacob Fearnley, Arthur Fery, Toby Samuel, Billy Harris and Harry Wendelken are also in action later.

    Good morning and welcome to day two at Wimbledon.

    We've got eight Britons in singles action today, as well as defending women's champion Iga Swiatek.

    But the big news of course, is the return of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, at the age of 44.

    Let's get to it.
