Wimbledon 2021: Order of play for day one with Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in action

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will both take to Centre Court on the opening day

Wimbledon finally gets underway on Monday after an extended hiatus Andy Murray set to follow Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.

The defending champion, who can equal Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s grand slam record, eased past Jack Draper in his opening match, though the 19-year-old Briton did take the opening set in a tremendous effort against the Serbian.

After defending champion Simona Halep pulled out due to a calf injury, the women’s draw has been left wide open, with several key contenders also beginning their campaigns on day one. Petra Kvitova, who won her first Wimbledon a decade ago, faces Sloane Stephens on Centre Court, while Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are both in action on Court One.
