The world number one safely progressed through the first round on Monday with a straight sets victory over Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik.
Murray is still carrying the hip injury which at one point threatened his participation at the All England Club but remains confident that it will not affect his performance against Brown.

Konta* 7-6 2-2 Vekic (*denotes next server)
Vekic finds herself at 0-40 down on her own serve as Konta threatens to break back. Vekic saves the first two as Konta misses a forehand pass before the Croatian fires down an unreturnable serve. However, the British No 1 breaks at the third time of asking with a well-placed inside-out forehand
Ants galore
There are loads of flying ants at Wimbledon. Apparently it's Flying Ant Day. Pretty weird and disgusting, eh?
Konta 7-6 2-3 Vekic* (*denotes next server)
Vekic breaks Konta for a second time in the second set and a third time in the match. The initiative is back with the young Croatian.

Bedene reaches third round
Aljaz Bedene is the second British player to reach the third round of this year's Championships. He joins Heather Watson after beating Damir Dzumhur 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-3 on Court Three.

Konta 7-6 4-6 8-7 Vekic* (*denotes next server)
Konta double faults in the first point of the game to immediately put pressure on her own serve before an inside-out forehand winner by Vekic makes it 0-30. The sixth seed responds by sending down three unreturnable serves to bring up game point, which she takes with a fine serve-forehand combo.

Game, set, match! Konta downs Vekic in three-set epic (7-6 4-6 10-8)
Vekic hits the net with a backhand pass in the opening point before a drive-backhand volley by Konta puts the Briton within two points of the win. At 0-30 Vekic sends down an unreturnable serve followed by a big serve-forehand combo to level the game up. Konta brings up match point as her opponent sends a forehand long... but Vekic saves it with an ace! Konta earns another match point with a cross-court forehand winner... and this time she takes it as Vekic dumps a forehand into the net!
We have just witnessed one of the matches of the year.
Vekic leaves the court in floods of tears after some consoling words from her opponent. It's just a shame that somebody had to lose.

Murray vs Brown underway
Andy Murray vs Dustin Brown is just about underway on Centre Court. Here's a little look at what Muzza's opponent is capable of:
Murray 1-1 Brown* (*denotes next server)
Brown clearly isn't interested in getting involved in too many long rallies. Huge serves, regular approaches to the net and numerous drop shot attempts tell you that. Still, it seems to work for him - and it's bloody entertaining.
