Follow the latest updates live from day three at Wimbledon where men’s world No 1 Novak Djokovic is back in second round action, as well as British No 1 Kyle Edmund and the American teenage sensation Cori Gauff.

The second round proved the end of the road for Heather Watson as she was knocked out by Anett Kontaveit early in the day, with former men's Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka also a shock exit on Wednesday afternoon. Karolina Pliskova successfully negotiated Monica Puig on Centre Court, with Kyle Edmund the biggest casualty losing to Fernando Verdasco before Novak Djokovic takes on Denis Kudla.

However, all eyes will be on No 2 Court where 15-year-old Gauff returns to action fresh from her incredible victory over Venus Williams. Follow all the action and results live.

15-year-old Cori Gauff was meant to be playing on Court 2, but her match against Magdalena Rybarikova has been moved to No.1 and it will be the first Championships match to take place under the new roof! 

They're about to get underway, and we'll be bringing you coverage of this highly anticipated match!

Gauff 1-0 Rybarikova*

Solid start for the 15-year-old, who doesn't look overawed by the occasion... then again, why would she - she's "living the dream!"

Gauff 2-1 Rybarikova*

Two love holds, no problem. 

Should be noted that Magdalena Rybarikova does have some grass court pedigree of her own - the Slovakian reached the semi-finals here at Wimbledon in 2017.

Gauff 3-2 Rybarikova*

Entertaining couple of games. At 30-30 in Gauff's game, she runs to make a drop shot pass, and gets the call on hawkeye. She closes it out, nice even contest so far. 

Court 1 gradually filling up...

*Gauff 4-2 Rybarikova

GAUFF BREAKS, TO LOVE!

A combination of stunningly good footwork and shot selection gives Gauff the advantage... she looks so, so focused out on court here!

*Gauff 5-2 Rybarikova

Gauff holds to 15 - she has barely put a foot wrong so far. So impressive.

*Gauff 5-3 Rybarikova

Crucial hold for Rybarikova, she's making Gauff serve it out.
