Your support makes all the difference.Andy Murray returned to Wimbledon for the first time since 2017, while Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were also in action on a bumper day at SW19.
Murray won his first match in the men's doubles alongside Pierre-Hugues Herbert as the pair prevailed 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-0. Murray will return to the court on Friday alongside Williams after the American recovered from losing the first set to Slovenian qualifier Kaja Juvan.
Elsewhere, Nadal's blockbuster clash with hothead Nick Kyrgios lived up to its billing with a fiery encounter both on court and afterwards. Johanna Konta beat Katerina Siniakova to reach the third round, while Roger Federer ended the hopes of British hopeful Jay Clarke in the day’s second match on No 1 Court.

MATCHES TO BE ARRANGED
NOT BEFORE 17.30
1 Marius Copil (ROU) / Ugo Humbert (FRA) 29 vs Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) / Andy Murray (GBR) 30
*Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 5-5 Nadal (30-30)
Now then, a chance for Rafa. He had 0-15, and then Kyrgios let rip, but a half-volley into the net from the Aussie leaves the door ajar...
Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-5 Nadal*
Sorry, did I say the door was ajar? WRONG!
An ace down the T, and a booming forehand which catches the line.
Kyrgios has guaranteed himself another tiebreak...
*Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-6 Nadal
Nadal duly obliges with a hold to 15, and we have our second breaker on the trot...
If Kyrgios wins, we're going the distance. If Nadal wins, it's game over.
Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-6 Nadal* (1-0)
Oh, NICK!
The Aussie has a simple forehand volley to put-away, but dollies it into the net.
Rafa with the early mini-break...
Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-6 Nadal* (4-2)
Two big points for Rafa, although on the second Kyrgios gave it up until the ball came towards him. He hit it without moving his feet, smashing it into the net!
Two Kyrgios irretrievable serves follow, pressure back on Rafa..
But a deep Nadal forehand is shanked by Kyrgios into the ground, and once again Rafa has the slender advantage in the breaker.
*Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-6 Nadal (2-5)
Nadal clear favourite now, as Kyrgios' forehand return is miles out.
5-2 Rafa.
Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-6 Nadal* (6-3)
Nadal misses a forehand into the net, but then Kyrgios is wild once more as his forehand goes astray.
THREE MATCH POINTS FOR NADAL, the first two on his own serve...
GAME, SET, MATCH RAFAEL NADAL! Kyrgios 3-6 6-3 6-7(5) 6-7(3) Nadal
Kyrgios hits a backhand into the net, and we have our winner!
Both players shake hands, pretty quickly, at the net, and Rafa then punches the air towards his corner!
Hell of a match... so many talking points. Nadal the winner, in 3 hours and 3 minutes!
