After a fascinating first round at Wimbledon, where we saw Serena Williams bow out on her shock return to the sport and all British hopes fall at the first hurdle to the disappointment of the home crowd, it is second round time and big names in action everywhere you look.

09:00 CET - Good morning and welcome to our first day of live coverage at Wimbledon 2026 as the second round gets underway! 

Both world number one Jannik Sinner and former champion Novak Djokovic battled to first-round wins but return today with an opportunity to build some momentum and make their mark at this year's championships. 

Sinner is first up on centre court as he takes on Portugal's Nuno Borges in a match he can't take lightly after being taken to five sets in his first round clash. Djokovic gets underway in the evening session, meanwhile, and it is a fascinating clash against former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas.

It is not just on the men's side where big-name players are in action. 

World number one Aryna Sabalenka might not be in the best form of her career but she is still one of the favourites this fortnight and she is up first on court one this afternoon against American McCartney Kessler

Also in action today is Coco Gauff after the world number seven cruised into the second round on Monday and she faces Argentine Solana Sierra for a place in the third round. And finally, the French Open champion and superstar Mirra Andreeva has a difficult early test against the 2024 Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova.
