Three 'on merit' players have pulled out due to injury and Heather Watson has now been given an 'on merit' place, but I don't know yet if her Wild Card place has been re-assigned.

Fluffy, thanks for that update. According to The Guardian, Kaia Kanepi, the world nimber 16, had to withdraw due to a foot injury and so Heather Watson was given an "on merit" place. At present Wiki only shows 7 wildcards allocated so have not yet allocated an eighth.

British interest on the first day rests with Heather Watson , who meets 52nd-ranked Iveta Benesova, and wildcards Johanna Konta and Naomi Broady, up against Christina McHale and Lourdes Dominguez Lino respectively.

Joshua Goodall drew fellow wildcard Grega Zemlja and 19-year-old Oliver Golding plays Igor Andreev.

Andy Murray will begin his Wimbledon campaign against former world number three Nikolay Davydenko on Tuesday. Anne Keothavong plays Laura Pous-Tio. 

British number two Elena Baltacha face a player ranked eight places below her in Italy's Karin Knapp, while Laura Robson takes on 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone. British number two James Ward plays world number 36 Pablo Andujar and Jamie Baker will hope to cause an upset against out-of-form three-time finalist Andy Roddick.

Of course, the weather may play havoc with Wimbledon this year.

Golding's inexperience is showing in places, but he's doing well. Won the first set and only lost the second set on a tie-breaker. He's holding his own in the 3rd.

I haven't seen much of this match, but by what I've seen so far, if Golding wins this 3rd set I believe he will win the match. i.e, win the 4th set as well.

Unfortunately Golding has lost the third set. I just don't think he has the experience and stamina to take the last 2 sets - but you never know!

BTW, Isner's 1st round game is currently in its 5th set. (5 all)

Joanna Khonta is on the verge of taking the first set from the 28th seed.

....but it's gone to a tie-break

Meanwhile, Golding/Andreev are 4 all in the 4th set

Berdych, the 6th seed, has been beaten in three sets.

Isner is also out. Lost the 5th set 7-9

Golding is now serving to stay in the match.

Goodness. Golding's last service game had about 9 deuces and Andreev had 4 or 5 break points....and now he's held to love.

Golding's serving to stay in the match again and take the 4th set to a tie-breaker.

Aww....he didn't make it. But what a fantastic match. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Konta won her tie-break, so is one set up and they are 2 all in the second set.

Naomi Broady lost the 1st set - they're in a tie-break for the 2nd.

And we now have Heather Watson on Centre Court and has break point in the 4th game - and has just won it. So she's a break up already.

Broady has lost the tie-break, so is out.

Konta's match went to a tie-break in the second set, which she lost, so they're now into a third set.

Watson has just broken Benesova to take the 1st set 6 - 2

And has just won the first game of the 2nd set - though she was taken to deuce.

Benesova is on the brink of being broken again - and she has been - to love!

Watson held her own serve to 30 and Benesova managed to hold hers.

Watson holds again and so is 4-1 Watson with Benesova to serve.

Benesova hands Watson 2 break points, but saves them both, then gives her another and saves it....and another break point to Watson, it's saved. Then Benesova gets Advantage, but Watson brings it back to deuce then it's Advantage Benesova - deuce - Advantage Watson - deuce - Advantage Benesova - deuce - Advantage Benesova - deuce - Advantage Watson - deuce - Advantage Watson - deuce - Advantage Watson - deuce - Advantage Watson - deuce - Advantage watson - GAME WATSON! Cracking winning shot.

Watson's now serving for the match!

Now Benesova has break point. Puts it out, but still a break point. Watson brings it to deuce, then Advantage and a couple of strokes later Watson wins the match.

Laura Robson saved four match points before her hopes were snuffed out 2-6 6-4 6-4 by the experienced Francesca Schiavone at Wimbledon.

Robson began well with the 18-year-old's crisp hitting and movement earning two unanswered breaks.

But Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion, fought back, clinging to a break in the second and surviving a late rally to make the second round.

Robson hit wide after clean winners twice denied Schiavone on match point.

Laura Robson will be disappointed by the result although she was playing against a considerably more experienced player. The 4 top British women rankings at the start of Wimbledon were Anne Keothavong 77, Laura Robson shooting up to 97 following a good run at Eastbourne, Elena Baltacha 101, and Heather Watson 103. When the rankings are announced in 2 weeks time Laura Robson's ranking will fall sharply as she got to the second round at Wimbledon last year. On the other hand Heather Watson's ranking will rise quite a lot of places.

The match was held over until today but she eventually lost against McHale by 8 games to 10.

Elena Baltacha has lost the first set against Karin Knapp 6-4. The second set is currently on hold as Karin Knapp has had to go in for some treatment for an injury.

James Ward is currently losing by 1 set to 2 against Andujar, but is currently leading 5 games to 2 in the 4th set.

Although Karin Knapp was able to resume the match with Elena Baltacha, the injury hindered her and Elena Baltacha proceeded to win the next 2 sets and so goes through to the second round.

And James Ward has beaten the world number 36 Andujar by 3 sets to 2. That could rocket his current world ranking of 173 by around 50 places.

Well done James.

So far we've had 2 British women and 1 British man through to the second round and Anne Keothavong and Andy Murray yet to come.

So far, at least 6 men's seeds (Granollers-24, Seppi-23, Tomic-20, Lopez-14, Isner-11, Berdych-6) have crashed out in the first round and 5 women's seeds (Niculescu-29, Hantuchova-27, Safarova-19, Jankovic-18, Penetta-16)

I haven't had a chance to see the Murray match until now.

I understand it has gone thus, so far:-

Murray's score first.

1st SET

0 - 1

1 - 1

2 - 1

3 - 1

4 - 1

5 - 1

6 - 1

2nd SET

1 - 0

2 - 0

3 - 0

3 - 1

4 - 1

5 - 1

6 - 1

3rd SET

1 - 0

2 - 0

2 - 1

Murray is now serving in the 4th game and has just netted to put the score at 40-30. His next serve wins the game though.

3 - 1 in the 3rd set and has just taken the first two points of Davydenko's serve. Two break points now, but has lost one...and the second.

Deuce - Advantage Davydenko - Game Davydenko, courtesy of a ball into the net by Murray.

£ -2 3rd Set Murray.

Davydenko looking a bit old and slow (relatively speaking) and that's another fairly easy game for Murray.

4 - 2 3rd set Murray

Mr Fluffy Thing has just interrupted me, so I've missed a couple of games.

It went:-

4 - 3

5 - 3

And Davydenko has just won his serve to stay in the match

5 - 4 3rd set Murray

Murray now serving for the match,

15 - 0

30 - 0

40 - 0

And a long return from Davydenko gives him Game, Set and Match, 3 sets to love.

Well done Andy  

Baker v Roddick has gone to a tie-breaker in the first set. Unfortunately he has lost his first serve....and his second.

1-0 Roddick

2-0 Roddick

3-0 Roddick

4-0 Roddick

5-0 Roddick

5-1 Roddick

6-1 Roddick

7-1 Roddick

1st set to Roddick

Hi Velvet.

Keothavong has taken the 1st set and is currently 3 love up in the second.

Now 3-1

Marches on to 4-1

Keothavong has 2 break points, but loses them both. Advantage Pous-Tio, then deuce then Advantage Keothavong then Game Keothavong

5-1 second set.

Keothavong is serving for the match, but falls to 0-40 and loses the game.

5-2 second set

ARGH! coverage ends on BBC

Found it on the PC

It's 5-3 now.

Serving for the match again and again has lost the first two points, but wins three and four. 30-30

And finally holds on to win.

So that's another Brit through to the 2nd round.
