Wimbledon order of play and Wednesday’s schedule

Andy Murray resumes his Wimbledon campaign on Thursday when he tackles Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round.

The Greek had to battle through a five-set thriller with Dominic Thiem late on Wednesday night, handing the Briton a possible advantage with the added rest from Tuesday’s routine win over Ryan Peniston.

“He's someone that I respect,” Tsitsipas said of Murray. “Obviously he's older than me. He has done great things in tennis. I'm looking forward to this match. I hope there's plenty for me to learn. Regardless of the outcome, I feel like I really want to go out there and give it a shot and aim for being super strong and disciplined in that match because it will require lots of that. If I'm in there persistent and focused on my goal, I feel like anything is possible.”

More British interest comes in the shape of Liam Broady, who faces a tough task against Casper Ruud. While the queen of SW19, Elena Rybakina, resumes her title defence against Alizé Cornet.
