On court 17, British four seeds Henry Patten and Olivia Nicholls are about to get their mixed doubles campaign under way against North American duo Evan King and Gabriella Dabrowski.

Jannik Sinner was number one on tour in terms of break points saved in 2025 and he's number two this year.

No surprises that he defends both on this occasion then.

Here we go.

Jenson Brooksby has his first break points of the match - two of them.

What can he do?

Mevdevev is looking very serious right now. It's been pretty straightforward, he's very calm, cool and collected. He's usually chirping at his box but not here, he looks very in control of his emotions.

Eighth seed Daniil Medvedev has seized control of the second set against Jan-Lennard Struff, breaking the German in his second service game.

Struff has a one-set advantage after winning the first-set tie-break.

Arthur Rinderknech backs up the break and he's now 3-0 up in the third set.

"New balls please," says the umpire, as the players retreat to their chairs.

There were quite a few second serve opportunities in that game. The drop shot is one of the very few tactics that has brought some success for Arthur Rinderknech, and he reverted back to it right there.

That is exactly what he needed after going two sets to love down.

Jenson Brooksby has to come from behind again to get his hold but crucially he does get it.

There's a lot of emotion from the American with each point that he wins.

American Tommy Paul has won the first set against Hubert Hurkacz.

The 21st seed made the crucial beak in the third game - converting his only break point of the match so far - before going on to take the set 6-4.

Arthur Rinderknech goes for the drop shot again, and it works! He has the break.

Now the crowd are rallying behind the underdog.

Hello... Arthur Rinderknech gets a couple of break points as Novak Djokovic slides a forehand cross court and wide.

On the second of them, Rinderknech brings Djokovic into the net with a drop shot and the Serb can't get it back over to the Frenchman's side.

A glimmer of hope for the 25th seed.

Hmmmm.

A hold to love for Jannik Sinner.

That has to be so demoralising for Jenson Brooksby when he had to work so hard to get his hold in the previous game.

It is very difficult with the tools that Arthur Rinderknech has to really make an impact on Novak Djokovic. The match-up in every area is in favour of his opponent.

From the back of the court, can he take more risks? He can, he can go harder and try to go close to the line but that will probably incur more unforced errors.

This is the first time they have played, but it is evident this isn't a good match-up for the Frenchman.

Tremendous work defensively from Jenson Brooksby.

That backhand is like a shield sometimes.

Both players are struggling to seize the initiative in the deciding set on court 12.

16th seed Iva Jovic led 3-0 before being broken in consecutive service games by Ekaterina Alexandrova to trail 4-3.

The 18th seed served for a 5-3 lead but has just been broken to 15 to put the third set back on level terms.

Jenson Brooksby looked over to his team after coming through that first game and directed a little fist pump in their direction. They’re all on their feet trying to urge him along.

Arthur Rinderknech starts the third set with a routine hold.

If he does complete an unlikely comeback, it'll be his second win over a top-10 ranked player at a Grand Slam. He beat Alexander Zverev in the first round of Wimbledon 12 months ago.

Brooksby has got a few tricks up his sleeve. He has a double-handed slice, it's like a woodchopper. Very unusual.

This service game ticks over seven minutes - not what you need on a warm day with the sun beating down on Court One.

Jenson Brooksby defends with everything he has and he eventually gets to the hold.
