Murray 3-2 Basilashvili*
A two-handed cross-court backhand from the baseline from Murray is an excellent shot and Basilashvili skews it into the crowd for 30-30 and it becomes deuce soon after.

As well as making babies (Kim and Andy welcomed their fourth child recently), looks like the Scot might have been spending some time in the pandemic helping design his new AMC clothing range.
Retro 1960s vibe to the lovely merino wool number he is wearing.
Watch out Stan Smith. There could be new tennis player turned fashion icon in town…

Chalk flew up, as someone once said... and Basilashvili gives Murray the game!
Murray 3-2 Basilashvili*
No signs of any fitness issues so far for Andy Murray, who holds to love with a few more aces thrown in for good measure.
That's six already in three games for the Brit. Encouraging.
*Murray 2-2 Basilashvili
Basilashvili's best performance at Wimbledon came in 2015 when he reached the third round, when he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut.
He's all power in that forehand and that keeps us on serve. Tight and tense.
*Swiatek 6-4 1-0 S-W. Hsieh
Iga Swiatek last turned out on Court One when she won Junior Wimbledon.
The 20-year-old is number seven seen for this tournament and she's a set and a break up out there against Hsieh Su-wei, of Chinese Taipei.
Elsewhere, American fourth seed Sofia Kenin has eased into round two, beating China's Xinyu Wang 6-4 6-2.

From what I’ve seen, but I haven’t seen a great deal, obviously he hasn’t played that much either. I haven’t seen him move as well as he’s capable of.
You know he plays incredible defence. If anything he’d wait on players too much. If anything he wasn’t offensive enough. Obviously you need to take it too these top guys.
He always relied on the wheels, on the legs and so for him not to have that and on top of that, if he does push it, that he’s feeling so sore, that he’s feeling he can’t step it up in the next match – we all know it’s a 128 draw – it doesn’t get any easier. If anything, it’s going to get harder, although he’s playing a seed in the first round.
I just wonder how long he can do it… or want to do it, if he just can’t do what he was so use to doing for so many years.
It has taken him four years (OK, last year there was no Wimbledon)… that’s a long time, and he limped off the court then when he got beaten by Sam Querrey.
I hope he does move well and he plays well because he deserves it more than almost more than anyone else. I feel for him – there’s a lot of expectation.
Murray 2-1 Basilashvili*
Murray's enjoying a strong start to his serving today. One zips up off the Wimbledon turf and leads to Basilashvili having to stretch more than he would like to and he can only direct it into the net.
That helps Murray hold and we're three games in, still on serve and no break points just yet.
Boulter 6-7 6-3 6-4 Lao
Up next for Katie Boulter? Just Aryna Sabalenka, the Belarusian second seed.

Sat in the corner directly opposite the players’ box, it’s difficult to squint and see who of Murray’s nearest and dearest are there to watch him on this emotional day.
Pretty sure mum Judy is there, sat in front of GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith. And is that also wife Kim on the back row? Looks to be but can’t be certain, especially as the lookalike has dark rockstar sunnies on.
Boulter 6-7 6-3 6-4 Lao
A thunderous serve and Katie Boulter comes from a set down to beat Danielle Lao and reach the second round at Wimbledon. Brilliant display from the British 24-year-old!
*Boulter 6-7 6-3 5-4 Lao
That's the one from Katie Boulter, applying the pressure with a series of deep shots that Danielle Low eventually prods into the net. Two match points.
*Murray 1-1 Basilashvili
That forehand looks like some weapon from the 24th seed. It helps Basilashvili take us to 1-1.
*Boulter 6-7 6-3 5-4 Lao
Boulter catches the tape with a forehand but manages to keep the point alive and Lao then leaks a groundstroke of her own off target. A punchy serve that the American can only snap back into the tape makes it 30-0, but then the Brit fires into the net with a backhand.
Murray 1-0 Basilashvili

If he keeps serving like that, Murray will be fine. Although he might have to if Basilashvili keeps up firing forehand winners like the couple we’ve seen so far. Half expected smoke to come up off the lines.
Murray 1-0 Basilashvili*
An early half chance for Murray. 30-30

I’m no doctor but I know one thing. You just want to be able to go at as close to 100% as you can and as often as you can.
He’s worried if he can get through two, three or four matches, so perspective needs to be put on this situation. I’m hopeful just because I know and I respect Andy and how much he loves the game, it’s tough to see him when [he’s] limping around and not running around at 75-80%.
He’s [ranked] 110 in the world? I mean, come on. The guy should be top five, top 10 at worst in the world, so it’s got to be killing him inside to face up to this and look at Djokovic and Nadal and these guys have 20, Roger – I don’t think I need to say much more how hard that has to be, even though he’s not going to be sitting there complaining about it.
*Boulter 6-7 6-3 5-4 Lao
Brilliant. What a return from Katie Boulter.
The Brit watches Danielle Lao's serve all the way on to her racquet and fires a superb forehand winner down the line to break. After two hours and 23 minutes, she will serve for a place in the second round.
Boulter 6-7 6-3 4-4 Lao*
A forehand volleyed winner worthy of a fist pump and a "come on" from Katie Boulter. 15-30 and she senses a chance as we reach the business end of this match... and then how about that! A remarkable return and Boulter has two break points.
Murray 1-0 Basilashvili*
Three aces in his first service game, including one at 125mph, and that's the perfect start for Andy Murray.
