We have British involvement straight away!

Heather Watson, who famously came so close to beating Serena Williams here in 2015, is first up on court 12, playing American qualifier Caty McNally!

[1 July 2019 11:09 · Kieran Jackson]

[1 July 2019 11:15 · Kieran Jackson]

*McNally 1-0 Watson

Watson is serving first, and has been broken in the first game of the match, as a backhand drifts wide!

Not the start she would've wanted, on her tenth Wimbledon appearance...

[1 July 2019 11:17 · Kieran Jackson]

McNally 1-1 Watson*

But Watson breaks straight back to 15, and we're back on serve straight away! 

[1 July 2019 11:20 · Kieran Jackson]

The match of the day on Day 1 is third on Court No.1, as 39-year-old Venus Williams takes on 15-year-old Cori Gauff in a match-up between the oldest player in the women's draw and the youngest!

It looks like Venus is pretty relaxed about playing someone 24 years her junior - she's launching a YouTube channel today!

[1 July 2019 11:22 · Kieran Jackson]

*McNally 2-1 Watson

Meanwhile on court 12, neither player can hold serve as McNally breaks again!

Three games, three breaks.

McNally still up a break against Watson, 3-2.

On court 2, Stan Wawrinka is a break up on against Ruben Bemelmans

Elsewhere, last year's finalist Kevin Anderson is a break up against Andy Murray's doubles partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert on court 3.

Talking of Murray, what court will he play his first doubles match on?

For Heather Watson, she’s broken back on court 12 against McNally - it’s currently four games apiece.
