Our daily Wimbledon round-up will bring you all the latest news from SW19 as tennis fans feast on two weeks of grass court action and pray for sunshine.

Barty downs Suarez Navarro 

No1 seed Ashleigh Barty needed three sets to see off Carla Suarez Navarro on Centre Court.

Having announced her intention to retire at the end of the season after beating cancer, all eyes were on Suarez Navarro as the veteran Spaniard made what turned out to be her final appearance at the All England Club.

And Barty, 25, was quick to praise her opponent following a 6-1 6-7 6-1 victory. 

She said: "To be able to share the court with [Carla] was incredible. She's a genuine champion and she's going to be very sorely missed."

Federer 'lucky' to overcome plucky Mannarino

Roger Federer can count himself a little fortunate to be heading into round two after injury forced Adrian Mannarino to retire.

Sixth seed Federer is going in search of his ninth Wimbledon singles title but trailed 6-4 6-7 3-6 4-2 when Mannarino injured his knee.

World No41 Mannarino battled on but lost the fourth set and retired after one point in the decider. 

A sympathetic Federer said: "It is awful, it shows that one shot can change the outcome of a match, a season, a career. I wish him all the best.

"I hope he recovers quickly and we see him back on the courts. He could have won the match, he was the better player, I got lucky."

Federer, 39, will now face Richard Gasquet who overcame Yuichi Sugita.

Injury ends tearful Williams' record attempt

Five years after her last Wimbledon title, injury cruelly robbed Serena Williams of her latest chance to win a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam.

Williams, 39, started her tie against world No100 Aliaksandra Sasnovich with a heavily strapped right thigh and slipped on the baseline in the fifth game. 

The American legend, who is chasing Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam titles, went down again in the sixth before retiring as she struggled to get to her feet. 

Belarusian Sasnovich was sympathetic to her opponent's cause and said: "I'm so sad for Serena. She is a great champion.

"It happens sometimes in tennis, but all the best to her."

Thank Evans for that

British No1 Dan Evans eased into the second round by defeating Feliciano Lopez 7-6 6-2 7-5 in a tie put back 24 hours by yesterday's rain. 

The 31-year-old, who will face Dusan Lajovic of Serbia or Frenchman Gilles Simon next, said: "It was great. It's amazing to be back playing at Wimbledon again. 

"I'm delighted to win. I played some good tennis."

Other British men in action

Play was suspended after the first set of Cameron Norrie's tie against Lucas Pouille with the 29th seed trailing 7-6 (8-6).

 Jay Clarke was beaten 6-3 3-6 7-6 6-2 by Belarus' Egor Gerasimov on Court 17 at lunchtime.

Darting out 

Harriet Dart’s meeting with 13th seed Elise Mertens was delayed by the weather yesterday — and it did not go to plan for the Brit when she finally made it on court today. 

Dart, who went down 6-1 6-3, said: "It was always going to be a challenging match against a very experienced player.

"She's the ranking she is because she can consistently play at that level. 

"There was definitely some positives to take. Overall, I'm a little bit disappointed."

Other British women in action

Wildcard Francesca Jones, 20, saw her fairytale story ended in straight sets by American Coco Gauff, going down 7-5 6-4.

The Brit's story is one of the best in pro tennis currently — she suffers from ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia and competes at the top level despite missing two fingers on one hand and three toes as a result. 

Samantha Murray Sharan, 33, is competing in the Wimbledon main draw for the first time since 2014 and will be hoping for her first victory in SW19 against Romania’s Sorana Cîrstea.

And the final Brit in action in the first round is 18-year-old Emma Raducanu. She makes her Grand Slam debut against Vitalia Diatchenko in the final game on Court 17.
