Wimbledon 2019: Novak Djokovic clinches fifth title after five-set final against Roger Federer

Follow the latest updates live from day three at Wimbledon where men’s world No 1 Novak Djokovic is back in second round action, as well as British No 1 Kyle Edmund and the American teenage sensation Cori Gauff.

The second round proved the end of the road for Heather Watson as she was knocked out by Anett Kontaveit early in the day, with former men's Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka also a shock exit on Wednesday afternoon. Karolina Pliskova successfully negotiated Monica Puig on Centre Court, with Kyle Edmund the biggest casualty losing to Fernando Verdasco before Novak Djokovic takes on Denis Kudla.

However, all eyes will be on No 2 Court where 15-year-old Gauff returns to action fresh from her incredible victory over Venus Williams. Follow all the action and results live.

*Gauff 6-3 3-2 Rybarikova (40-40)

Rybarikova has managed 30-30 a couple of times, but never a break point...

But at 40-30, the Slovak gives the American the run around, and finishes the point off at the net.

Gauff 6-3 4-2 Rybarikova*

Gauff passes that test, with two accurate first serves resulting in two points. And she's now two pgames away from winning this round two match, in match number two of her Wimbledon main draw career. 

Allright I'll stop. 

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 21:03
1562184369

Gauff 6-3 4-2 Rybarikova* (30-30)

A scare for Gauff. At 15-30, she is wrong-footed and slips on the grass. 

She puts the thumbs up though, and she looks to be fine. 

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 21:06
1562184479

*Gauff 6-3 4-3 Rybarikova

Another defiant hold by Rybarikova, who was in control of those two points by using a combination of slices and drop shots. 

Still, Gauff very much in control, up a break.

1562184682

Gauff 6-3 5-3 Rybarikova*

Gauff holds TO LOVE! That was simple and quick. 

She's a game away from the third round, and a match against Slovenian Polona Hercog, who beat 17th seed Madison Keys in the past hour. 

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 21:11
1562184860

Gauff 6-3 5-3 Rybarikova* (40-15)

From 40-15 to deuce, as Rybarikova goes long...

2 points away...

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 21:14
1562184960

Gauff 6-3 5-3 Rybarikova* (Ad Gauff)

After wasting another game point, Rybarikova double faults and it's MATCH POINT...

GAME, SET, MATCH CORI GAUFF! Gauff def. Rybarikova 6-3 6-3 

Ladies and gents, we have a new star! The fairytale continues!

A supreme performance from 15-year-old Cori Gauff, and who knows how far she can go now?!

She plays Slovenian Polona Hercog on Friday in the third round, for a chance to reach the second week of a Grand Slam.

Well, that's your lot from Day 3 at Wimbledon!

Tomorrow we have: Federer vs Clarke, Konta, Williams, Nishikori vs Norrie, and the big one: Kyrgios vs Nadal. 

Join us then - goodnight!
