A confident start from Jasmine Paolini.

The Italian 13th seed is striking the ball nicely and breezes through her latest service game.

Under pressure at 0-30 after a double fault to start, Alexandra Eala shows the composure we've seen from her all tournament to battle back to hold.

Jasmine Paolini will be ruing a forehand pushed wide at 15-30 with half the court to aim at. A missed opportunity and it stays on serve.

Have a look at the quality of De Minaur, he's one of the fastest in the game. The recovery step is what's so impressive at the moment. It's the recovery and the set up for the next shot, it's so crucial.

As soon as the ball is going over the net, he's racing to get back in that neutral position. He's one of the best I've ever seen in the game at that reset.

A lovely forehand winner from Alex de Minaur earns the appreciation of the crowd and Flavio Cobolli.

The Australian breezes through the rest of the game with a hold to love.

Cobolli will now have to serve to stay in the set.

A first game that probably tells us a fair bit about how this match is likely to go with a number of extended rallies.

Alexandra Eala shows some clean hitting with a pair of big forehand winners to get back to 30-30 but Jasmine Paolini proves she has that in her locker as well, powering a forehand past her younger opponent to secure the hold.

Alex de Minaur's backhand does the lifting as he gets the better of a lengthy rally with Flavio Cobolli.

De Minaur then has the chance to bring up two break points but lets the opportunity slip with an unforced error.

Cobolli makes De Minaur pay by comfortably seeing out the rest of the game.

Alexandra Eala won the only previous meeting between these two in Dubai earlier this year.

The 21-year-old came through in straight sets and while the more experienced Jasmine Paolini is the higher seed, Eala will go into this one as slight favourite.

Warm ups done, they're ready to go!

This is going to be a tall order for Alex [de Minaur]. They are built the same. I hope Alex comes out and remembers that he's Australian and that he has grass court bounce under his belt and plays some more dictative tennis.

I'm hoping that Alex will start to impose himself and that we'll start to see more options from him.

Alex de Minaur continues to serve well and Flavio Cobolli is wayward with his returns.

The Italian sends a forehand back at De Minaur but is unable to control his next stroke and De Minaur holds again.

Flavio Cobolli looks equally impressive on serve as Alex de Minaur fails to apply much pressure in a hold to 15.

There is hardly anything between these two so far.

We've got two very likeable players kicking things off on Centre Court this afternoon.

Jasmine Paolini won over the Wimbledon crowds with her bubbly personality and energy on court during her run to the final in 2024.

And Alexandra Eala has done the same thing this year, knocking out the defending champion Iga Swiatek and dedicating her win to the young girls with "ruffled socks, light-up shoes and chubby cheeks".

Fans might have a hard time choosing who they want to win.

Great Britain's Mika Stojsavljevic has been defeated by Austria's Anna Pircher in the second round of the girls' singles.

Stojsavljevic, a former US Open junior champion, played in the first round of the women's singles at Wimbledon this year, losing to 11th seed Belinda Bencic.

Had she won, she might have played fellow British player Daniella Britton in the last 16.

Britton has lost the first set of her match against Romania's Maria Valentina Pop.

Yes, Roger Federer, who won the Wimbledon men's singles title a record eight times, is at the All England Club today.

Here come the players, making that famous walk out onto Centre Court.

Big cheers from the crowd and there, smiling and clapping in the Royal Box, is tennis royalty...

Alex de Minaur faces little resistance in a solid service game.

The Australian clenches his fist in celebration as he walks over to his chair before the change of ends.

Alex de Minaur makes inroads in getting to 0-30, but Flavio Cobolli fights back as the Australian misses a volley at the net.

Cobolli regains control of the game with a strong first serve, before getting the better of a short rally to hold.

Both players have threatened to break with no conviction just yet.

I'm going to go with Naomi Osaka [to win the women's title].

Going off stats and performance, I think she's playing the best tennis. Can she keep it up though? I don't want to speak too soon because Grand Slams are long events.

She's being very aggressive, controlling the court, playing with a lot of confidence and backing herself.

This is the best tennis Osaka has ever played on a grass court by a mile.

On Saturday, Alexandra Eala stunned defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-6 (11-9) 6-2 on Centre Court.

With that win, she became the first player from the Philippines to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam in the Open era.

Asked what the victory meant, the 21-year-old replied: "I went to train every day after school with my ruffled socks, light-up shoes and chubby cheeks - to younger me this is everything.

"It is incredible to have my countrymen cheering me on, knowing that we are all in this together.

"This goes out to them, my family and all the girls with ruffled socks and chubby cheeks. It means the world."

Alex de Minaur overcomes that bit of pressure from Flavio Cobolli by holding with some strong first serves.
