Murray returned to SW19 for the first time on Thursday evening winning his first match in two years at the All England Club in the opening round of the men's doubles. Today he was set to get his mixed doubles campaign underway with 23-time Grand Slam champion Williams in what promises to be one of the highlights of the tournament.

*Djokovic 1-2 Hurkacz
Hurkacz takes the opening five points, and the first six out of seven, after Djokovic double faults, but Djokovic then ramps it up to hold.
The Pole is unfazed though, holding himself to 15, and more than matching Djokovic in the longest rally of the match so far.
Djokovic 2-2 Hurkacz*
Djokovic holds, but it was a test.
The number 1 seed has numerous chances to wrap it up, but can't convert and does have to save a break point, which he does clinically with an ace down the T.
He eventually escapes, as Hurkacz goes wide on return.
*Djokovic 2-3 Hurkacz
Two double faults from the 22-year-old hand Djokovic a break point, but it's roles reversed as it's saved with an ace down the T.
On break point no.2, Djokovic sets the point up perfectly but misses with a forehand into the net - and take a long hard look at the grass afterwards.
He saves another with a powerful serve, before finally finding his form on deuce, and clinching it with a body serve.
Two holds from the brink of breaks from both players there...
Djokovic 3-3 Hurkacz*
A more straightforward hold for Djokovic this time round, to 15, as he takes control from the baseline.
Djokovic 3-4 Hurkacz*
Two similar games, as Hurkacz holds to 15 with some powerful serves of his own.
He's more than hold his own so far has the Pole.
BREAKING NEWS: Kevin Anderson is OUT of Wimbledon, losing in straight sets to Guido Pella of Argentina on Centre Court.
*Djokovic 4-5 Hurkacz
A hold to love, and a hold to 15...
Djokovic will serve to stay in the first set.
*Djokovic 6-5 Hurkacz
DJOKOVIC BREAKS!
Djokovic holds to love, and then he cranks it up a gear...
A couple of sloppy errors by Hurkacz, perhaps aware of the occasion, lead to THREE BREAK POINTS for Djokovic at 0-40.
Saved with aplomb by Hurkacz, but after another lengthy rally at advantage, Djokovic forces the error and the defending champion will serve for the 1st set here.
Djokovic 7-5 Hurkacz*
DJOKOVIC WINS THE FIRST SET!
The Serb just about gets it done... he outlasts Hurkacz again in a long rally at 30-30, but then mistimes another routine forehand into the net at set point.
Eventually though, with two accurate first serves, he clinches the set.
