Wimbledon Day Four: Djokovic sails into third round

There are four Britons in action on day five of Wimbledon as the third round gets underway in both the men’s and women’s singles events.

Johanna Konta, the favourite for the women’s title after Karolina Pliskova’s surprise exit on Thursday, is demoted to Court One for her match against Maria Sakkari after Wednesday’s epic three-set win over Donna Vekic.

Meanwhile, Heather Watson opens up on Centre Court against Viktoria Azarenka and Aljaz Bedene takes on the 16th seed Gilles Muller.

Rafa Nadal and Venus Williams are also bidding to reach the fourth round.
