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.

Edmund 6-4 1-2 Verdasco*

VERDASCO BREAKS!

Verdasco breaks again, this time Edmund double faulting at Ad down. 

Three games, three breaks.

*Edmund 6-4 1-3 Verdasco

Verdasco holds. 3-1, and he opens up a gap.

1562164584

Edmund 6-4 2-3 Verdasco*

Edmund holds, for the first time this set, and he keeps the deficit to a single break.

1562164742

Edmund 6-4 2-3 Verdasco* (15-40)

From 15-15, two pinpoint backhand passes down the line from Edmund gives him two break back points.

1562164815

*Edmund 6-4 3-3 Verdasco

EDMUND BREAKS!

We're all-square once again, as Edmund breaks to 15 via a Verdasco error on the backhand wing.

3 apiece.

*Edmund 6-4 4-4 Verdasco

Verdasco holds comfortably to love, sealing it with an ace out wide.

Dr Ivo, the 40-year-old veteran, is OUT!

Fabbiano, after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets, wins in five again...

1562165381

Edmund 6-4 5-4 Verdasco*

This time, Edmund holds to love - a combination of deft touch at the net and wild Verdasco groundstrokes...

Verdasco will serve to stay in the set - we know what happened last time!

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 15:49
1562165620

Edmund 6-4 5-4 Verdasco* (40-40)

WOW. From seemingly cruising at 30-0, three shocking errors from Verdasco (including a double fault) hand Edmund SET POINT...

And what does the Spaniard then do? Ace down the T. 

Unpredictable...
