Wimbledon 2024 day two: Live scores, order of play and updates

Kopriva is providing a bit of resistance here, chasing Djokovic to 30-all, but moving nicely now, the serial champion sweeps up the court to hit a backhand winner square past a sprinting Kopriva.

Djokovic is in now mood to be broken, as the temperature continues to drop on Centre Court. As (relatively) close as Kopriva got, he’s not allowed any further as the Serb holds.

She blazes a trail back on serve after Maria mops up her break with a confident hold, but she’s unable again to claim her vital break back.

The German is wasting no time, and she’s 4-1 up in the fifth game.

Gliding up the court, Kopriva pops the ball over the net for a sparkling winner which puts him 30-15 up. But Djokovic on the baseline decides to dictate proceedings, switching his opponent this way and that before sliding a passing shot onto his backhand, which Kopriva fails to catch.

Kopriva, still energised, claims his initial hold, and heads quickly back onto court at the change of ends. Djokovic, by contrast, takes his time.

The air ringing with chants of her name from the home crowd, Boulter hasn’t yet settled against Tatjana Maria, who claims her first service game and then gets on the front foot to take the early break away from the Nottingham champion.

Kopriva earns himself ringing applause from the crowd after some excellent net play drags Djokovic up the court and speeding past the net after he fails to catch the winner for 30-15. Eyes closed, Djokovic jogs past the umpire chair as his opponent allows himself a little cheer to acknowledge the crowd.

But anything you can do… Djokovic strikes back with a cool forehand volley at the net, beating Kopriva, and putting himself back in the driving seat. In the end, he holds in straightforward fashion – and claims the second set.

Djokovic struggles to reach Kopriva’s opening serve, which aces him, and with the intervention of HawkEye, the world No123 can claim another ace to make it 40-15.

Returning, Djokovic doesn’t look quite as comfortable as he did 10 minutes ago, but he’s still more than capable of leaping for a hammer-like smash which Kopriva can only return out of play.

A double fault lands the players at deuce once more, but Djokovic is in no mood to make a meal of it, and ruthlessly takes his break.

… as of now, Kopriva isn’t proving much of an irritant.

Djokovic’s service games are something else. Here, he can dial it up and keep hold of full control, taking no time whatsoever to sprint to a love-hold.

It’s looking like the rain has dried up – to a point – and play is able to get restarted on the outdoor courts, where things have been deeply stop-start this afternoon.

Katie Boulter, the British No1, should be stepping onto Court No3 in no time at all, for her first match at the tournament as a seeded player.

Kopriva works Djokovic a little harder now, and for the first time, the 37-year-old is looking somewhat more laboured in his movements.

Springing, Kopriva is able to make hay and at the very least improve upon his standing in the first set with a to-the-point hold of his serve.

Exactly an hour into this clash, and Kopriva still has a very limited response to Djokovic’s firecracker serve.

Nor, it seems, his mid-point wizardry, as Djokovic strokes the most marginal of forehands over the net, marooning Kopriva, who finishes by hitting long. Another no muss, no fuss service game.

When Kopriva can challenge, the crowd respond rapturously, and the Czech is greeted with defeaning applause when he’s able to make 30-15, and then send a rapid serve Djokovic’s way from which he’s unable to reply.

But again, Kopriva finds it trickier to put the game to bed, finding the net with his backhand under heavy pressure from Djokovic. On the next point he overpowers long, bringing him into another brawl at deuce. Testing Djokovic on the baseline, Kopriva eventually plays an unfocused shot off the court to hand the Serb this advantage.

Switching backhands for a two-handed thumper, Djokovic misplays a flat shot into the net, reseting things, but wins the lead back just as quickly with more imperfections from Kopriva.

Rallying on the baseline, there’s a gasp when Djokovic slides for a point and lets out an agonised cry, his knee at full stretch. When he finally smacks the winner past a spent Kopriva, he allows himself a roar of ‘Come on!’ in recognition of the greater effort.

Right. No messing on service. It’s one ace, a cursory HawkEye check, another ace, two challenges remaining, and for 40-love, which Kopriva does get it back over the net this time, Djokovic’s teasing play backfoots the Czech who overcooks his final backhand.

Down, but not out. After pulling him up to the net, Djokovic doesn’t expect Kopriva to get to his dropshot, but the Czech has enough time to spark a winner to the baseline – which prompts brief applause with his racquet from Djokovic.

It’s only a respite, however, and Djokovic pulls off the hold shortly after.

Kopriva gets on the board for 15-30, and can climb level with the Serb with an acidic ace, which sends Djokovic’s forehand wobbly. In what could be another little show of dominance, Djokovic challenges the call, but HawkEye proves the first call was good – golden even, the ball sitting squarely in the chalk.

Wrenching focus, Kopriva reached advantage, but fails to bury the game when a forehand is struck too casually into the net, and play resets to deuce.

Kopriva grimaces when his backhand falters yet again, slapping the netcord for Djokovic’s advantage. But strap in, as it’s another scrap at the end of the game, as Kopriva wins back deuce, and then advantage, repeatedly, before Djokovic funks on his backhand and Kopriva can breathe a sigh of relief.

A hold! Finally.

Djokovic’s opening sends Kopriva leaping abortively as the ball smacks the tarp at the back of the court. At the moment, Djokovic is in absolute cruise control, and Kopriva is just being swatted away.

There’s very little time played before the inevitable – Djokovic wraps up the set, and heads coolly to his chair.

As things stand, this could be a very brief affair.

Kopriva clouts a desperate backhand well out of play to hand Djokovic love-40 at breakneck pace, and even the seven-time champion’s blunter efforts are looking overwhelming at the moment.

Directed to the back of the court, Kopriva attempts to get his forehand firing, but finds the net for a second consecutive break. Bad news indeed.

Meanwhile, Djokovic’s box is hosting an unexpected guest…

After the grit and sweat of the previous game, Djokovic is in the mood for a painless hold to love, which he completes with minimum fuss.

The Serb is certainly moving freely, and looking as lethal as ever. There’s daylight between him and Kopriva now, and the next game will be enormous for his opponent to show his mettle.

Djokovic switches things up and plays a wafting forehand loaded with spin lightly over the net and miles from Kopriva’s grasp for the advantage.

Once again, Kopriva looks to end things with an ace, but can’t put it away. Instead, Djokovic finally gets his break of serve after Kopriva underpowers his final return.

Djokovic rising, Leviathan-like, at the net to volley a neat forehand over the other side, out of reach of a sprinting Kopriva. But with a little shake of his racquet in celebrating, the Czech claims the next point after Djokovic sends his forehand long and imprecise.

Kopriva is in no rush once again, taking his time over game point, throwing his ball up in the air once, then again, but aims into the net. On the second, Djokovic can meet and beat his rally, until the 27-year-old sends his final effort into the tramlines for deuce.

After winning the advantage, Kopriva pulls off the shot of the match thus far with a peach of a dropshot that Djokovic – knee brace glaringly obvious – can’t huff and puff to, levelling things once again.

But Djokovic has lost no power in his snapped forehand, and unleashes a lightning winner down the line to restore dominance.

Kopriva on serve won’t be beat yet, however, and the crowd roar and croon when he sends a backhand passing shot leaping past the Serb.

This is quite the tussle, with both men capable of offering up a response when the chips are down, and Kopriva is looking admirable under pressure.

He thinks he has it with a final ace – but it’s out! And Djokovic resets things to deuce…

Kopriva can get off the mark with a strong opening return, but is finding it hard to keep a lid on the Djokovic serve. At the back of the court, he attempts to waft a backhand short over the net, but the ball dies in mid-air, 30-15.

Shimmying up the court, the Serb pops a springing forehand over the net and behind Kopriva, too short, before closing off the hold with another lashing ace.

He may have struggled to return, but the Czech puts in a solid shift on serve to breeze to 40-love. Taking his time on serve, Kopriva attempts to beat a winner out of Djokovic’s fairly wacky return, but can only find the net.

A double fault allows Djokovic to sneak up to 40-30, and Kopriva attempts to settle early Centre Court nerves following a let. After driving Djokovic onto the backhand, Kopriva switches things up and allows his forehand to stutter, wrapping up a more-than-crucial opening hold.

… who starts off his service game with an ace.

Rather than fall victim to middle-match emptiness as hospitality seating goes in search of their afternoon tea, most have stayed under the roof on the heels of the swift, straight sets defeat of Marketa Vondrousova.

It’s the first time since 1994 that a defending champion has been knocked out in the first round… which must sting.

But not as much as Kopriva is being stung now, as Djokovic serves up a flurry of aces to steal a march in the first game.

… where I’m perched, watching world No123 Vit Kopriva warm-up against one Novak Djokovic.

Back on court mere weeks after undergoing surgery for a meniscus tear on his knee – on a timeline that, as Andy Murray can attest, most 37-year-olds would kill for – Djokovic is aiming to make it eight-times a Wimbledon champion, and achieve an all-conquering 25th Grand Slam.

As various online wags could tell you, the draw has been a kind one. But let’s take each step as it comes, shall we?

Defending champion Marketa Vondrousova is out of Wimbledon after losing 6-4 6-2 to world number 83 Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the first round.

Mail Sport reporter Nathan Salt explores Novak Djokovic’s strange methods following his recovery from surgery to play at Wimbledon

Given his remarkable feats to this point the amount of surprise when Novak Djokovic showed himself rigorously working out on his surgically repaired knee came as a shock.

For Djokovic is the embodiment of warrior in a sport where few can say they match his sheer determination and durability, playing through adversity unless he cannot walk out.

Twenty six days on from surgery, Djokovic is walking out on Centre Court today to kick-start his latest road to glory at Wimbledon, a place he has won seven times before.

Kirsten Murray reports David Beckham led the best dressed celebrities out in force at Wimbledon as the famous tennis championship got underway on Monday.

The former footballer, 49, looked incredibly dapper as he opted for a chic sandy grey suit and bronze tie for day one of the tournament.

Read Kirsten’s report here:

Yesterday it was the popular British figures of Sir David Attenborough and David Beckham in the Royal Box but today it’s American rocker Dave Grohl who will have the best seat overlooking Centre Court.

The Foo Fighters frontman will be seated near ex-Formula One world champion Sir Jackie Stewart and former England rugby captain Sir Bill Beaumont.

Should be some interesting conversations during breaks of play.

Britain’s Harriet Dart has beaten Bai Zhuoxuan 6-4 6-0 in the first round at Wimbledon.

Dart was the first British winner on day two of this year’s Wimbledon after she produced an accomplished display to beat Chinese qualifier Bai Zhuoxuan in straight-sets.

First up on Court 18, Dart had to be patient against the world number 95 and navigated an hour’s rain delay before she claimed a 6-4 6-0 win.

It could set up a second-round tie with compatriot and familiar foe Katie Boulter, who is set to face Tatjana Maria later on Tuesday.

Former British number one Tim Henman has told the BBC that Andy Murray has helped to put British tennis in ‘very good shape’ following the news he will no longer play a singles match at Wimbledon

Speaking to the BBC, Henman said:

He’s certainly raised the bar. I think that’s where he has been so influential and it’s been so important to be that role model for all the younger players in both the men’s and the women’s.

Records are there to be broken and you look at the 12 Brits playing today and so many more in the draw and in qualifying, I think British tennis is in very good shape and I think a large part of that is to do with Andy Murray.

Lady Amelia Spencer and her sister Eliza are the latest celebrities to be spotted at Wimbledon.

Comedian John Bishop was also seen among the crowds in SW19.

Here are the latest pictures from Wimbledon where the covers are on as spectators huddle under umbrellas.

Play has been suspended on outside court after rain in SW19 already bereft by the forced withdrawl of Andy Murray earlier this morning.

Some matches are under way but rain has forced play to be suspended while the covers are brought on.

As a result there will no play on the outside courts until 1pm at the earliest.

Mail Sport journalist Heather Dewar has spoken to fans on Murray Mound, also known as Henman Hill, about the former Wimbledon champion’s absence from the tournament this year after he pulled out just hours before he was scheduled to play on Centre Court.

Here’s what they had to say:

Melanie, from London

We were very excited to see him and were very hopeful when we saw the draw. This morning when we found out he wasn’t going to make it, it was very much an, “ok, disappointed, but maybe a sensible idea”.

I think there’s nothing worse than seeing an injured player injuring themselves further or playing in pain. I would not want that. I think it’s much better he reserves himself and hopefully we get to see him playing with his brother later on.

This is my fourth time at Wimbledon, I haven’t decided who I’m rooting for. It was Andy Murray.

Louise, from London

It’s sad but he’d had such an incredible run. He has done Britain and tennis in the UK proud. He has grown it, he’s an incredible ambassador for the sport, for both men and women and if it saves his body for the doubles and we get to see him playing with his brother for one last time, what better way to bow out with your family? I think it’ s incredible and we’re going to have an amazing day here, but he’s an incredible ambassador and you can’t fault him.

We would have loved to have seen him at Wimbledon, but you also get to see some amazing other players on centre court, and we can’t ask for much more. It’s a great day out – it’s quintessentially British and here’s to a cracking day. We’ve taken the day off work to be here.

I would love Emma Raducanu to win the women’s. Obviously if Djokovic wins its record-breaking, Alcaraz is incredible and a real force. I’ll see how the tournament goes on, but either of those two would be awesome.

Heather also spoke to fans in the Queue when the news broke.

Johanna, from Poland

I really admire Andy Murray – he was unfortunate to be among the ‘big thing’. I would have liked to have seen him play.

Janet, from the US

I enjoy watching Andy Murray, I’m disappointed not to be seeing him- this is his home court. I hope he does well in the doubles, and I’ll be rooting for him.

Wimbledon has gone rock n roll today as Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl joined crowds in SW19.

The former Nirvana rocker, who recently finished a UK tour last month, is among celebrities on the second day of the championships.

Here are the latest pictures of Andy Murray who was seen departing Wimbledon after pulling out of the singles competition earlier today.

The second morning at Wimbledon has been dominated by the news that Andy Murray has ended his Wimbledon singles career by pulling out of his match on Centre Court with Czech player Tomas Machac.

The two-time former champion has been battling to recover from back surgery last weekend but has run out of time despite planning to practice at 1pm.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Andy Murray’s team released a statement 45 minutes before the start of play to say he had withdrawn from the competition.
• The former Wimbledon champion is said to be ‘extremely disappointed’ by the decision but will play with his brother Jamie in the doubles.
• The news came as a blow to fans who had queued for more than two hours outside the All England Club on Tuesday morning.
• Rising British tennis star Jack Draper will take Murray’s slot on Centre Court this afternoon
• Draper is one of 11 British players hoping to progress to the second round along with female players Emma Raducanu, Lily Mayazaki and Sonay Kartal

Stick with us as we bring you updates from the All England Club this afternoon.

Mail Sport reporter Isaan Khan reports the Buddhist temple Novak Djokovic has previously used as his Wimbledon refuge is willing on their ‘friend’ to triumph at the championships this year — and have their doors open for the star.

The Buddhapadipa Temple, on a leafy suburban street just minutes from the All England Club grounds, has been frequented by the reigning champion in previous years.

Djokovic, an Orthodox Christian, once stayed next door to the temple and spent up to an hour a day using its four-acre grounds for meditation and to improve his focus.

Venerable Piyobhaso, minster of religion at Buddhapdipa, tells Mail Sport:

Many years ago he came to stay next door to the temple and every morning he meditated at the temple,’

He preferred to come in the morning, from 30 minutes up to an hour. Sometimes he spent an hour beside the lake. He became friends with some members.

Novak is a very friendly person. He always smiled and didn’t mind having photos with the temple members. He said that meditation helps with his tennis.

Djokovic, who has won 24 major championships, has made it to Wimbledon after a rapid recovery from knee surgery and is one of the tournament favourites.

MailSport’s Ryan Walker reports tennis fans have been left distraught as Andy Murray’s men’s single career at Wimbledon was brought to a crushing end today without him even hitting a ball.

The two-time Wimbledon champion made the ‘very difficult’ decision to withdraw from his first-round tie against Tomas Machac after confirming he had been unable to recover from an injury in time.

Read Ryan’s report here:

While Andy Murray won’t play today there are plenty of players who will step out on court with action under way on the second day of the Wimbledon Championships.

We will bring you all the latest updates, reaction and pictures from SW19.

Here are the latest pictures from inside the All England Club.

These pictures show Andy Murray’s name being removed from the order of play board at Wimbledon following this morning’s announcement.

The decision will come as a massive blow to fans who had hoped to watch Murray take to Centre Court this afternoon.

The official Wimbledon account has paid tribute to former champion Andy Murray who announced he will not play another singles match at the Grand Slam.

Murray will still partner Jamie in the doubles contest.

Rising British tennis star Jack Draper appears to have been elevated to Centre Court following Murray’s decision to pull out of Wimbledon.

Draper was originally scheduled to play on Court 2 for his match with Sweden’s Elias Ymer.

Former US Open champion Stan Wawrinka said Murray will be remembered as an ‘amazing champion’ who ‘pushed everybody’.

Speaking yesterday, the former three-time Grand Slam winner was asked what Murray’s legacy would be when he left the sport.

It’s been more than 20 years. Of course there are many. The first time with the roof closed here was something special to play here against him at home. He’s been an amazing champion.

He pushed everybody. He won everything in the sport that you can win. He’s been #1. He’s been an example for many players. He’s a great guy. We’re good friends.

As I’ve said, it’s been more than 20 years. We spent so much time together on court, during practice… just tons of time together. We always had a good relationship.

MailSport reporter Matthew Lambert notes Murray’s decision to pull out of the singles this year means his last match at Wimbledon will be remembered as a five-set epic, which became a hallmark of his career.

Murray’s Wimbledon run came to an end in the second round on July 6 last year after he lost against then fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Tennis fans on social media are reacting to the disappointing news that Andy Murray has played his last singles match at Wimbledon after pulling out of this year’s Championships just hours before he was due on Centre Court.

Here are just some comments on social media reacting to the news:

Andy Murray’s dream of a Wimbledon swansong is in ruins following his withdrawal from his first round match on Centre Court today.

The 37-year-old had surgery to remove a cyst from his spine on Saturday and there were reports on Sunday morning that the operation had ruled him out of Wimbledon.

The Scot has been plagued with injuries throughout his career and, since 2019, has been on the precipice of retirement due to the physical battles he’s endured.

MailSport has produced this timeline dating the former champion’s struggles:

Andy Murray has played his last singles match at Wimbledon, after the two time champion this morning took the ‘very difficult’ decision to withdraw from his first round.

The two-time former champion has been battling to recover from back surgery last weekend but has run out of time, with his first-round clash against Tomas Machac scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

A statement from the 37-year-old’s team read: ‘Unfortunately, despite working incredibly hard on his recovery since his operation just over a week ago, Andy has taken the very difficult decision not to play the singles this year.

‘As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed but has confirmed that he will be playing in the doubles with Jamie and looks forward to competing at Wimbledon for the last time.’

Andy Murray has withdrawn from the singles competition at this year’s Wimbledon.

In a statement, his representatives said:

Unfortunately, despite working incredibly hard on his recovery since his operation just over a week ago, Andy has taken the very difficult decision not to play the singles this year. As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed but has confirmed that he will be playing in the doubles with Jamie.

The first tennis matches on day two of Wimbledon are now less than an hour away as crowds continue to build outside the All England Club.

Here are the latest pictures we can bring you:

MailOnline’s Arthur Parashar reports British tennis star Katie Boulter and her Australian boyfriend Alex de Minaur once hid their relationship by eating breakfast on separate tables.

But four years after their romance started over a 6am cup of coffee, Boulter and de Minaur are the power couple of world tennis who will both be bidding for Wimbledon glory when the clocks strikes 11am in SW19 today.

The lovebirds will be supporting one another before and after their respective games, but a last-minute switch in the schedule has left them unable to watch each other as they are playing at the exact same time.

Read Arthur’s report here:

MailOnline’s Showbiz team reported on several celebrities turning up at the All England Club for the first day of Wimbledon.

London-born actress Poppy Delevingne, 38, stunned in a chic cream ensemble as she attended alongside her dad Charles – after debuting her romance with Archie Keswick at BST Hyde Park on Saturday.

TV presenter Alison Hammond, 49, looked effortlessly stylish on Monday as she strutted down the concourse in a polka dot dress.

While actress and TV presenter Jameela Jamil and her boyfriend James Blake looked happier than ever as they enjoyed a loved-up date on day one of the Championships – just hours after James’ Glastonbury headline set on the Woodsies stage on Sunday evening.

We will bring you any celeb sightings we spot on day two.

Sir Andy Murray is listed to practice at Wimbledon at 1pm as fans wait to see if he will play on Centre Court this afternoon.

We will bring you the latest developments as we get them.

This is the moment British tennis player Billy Harris arrived at the All England Club this morning as he makes his Grand Slam debut at the age of 29.

Harris spent many of his as he trawled round Europe and in 2022 was ranked outside the world top 400.

Before Queen’s he had earnt £232,000. Since then he has made £144,000 — and with £60,000 at least to come from Wimbledon, he is close to earning more in a month than in nine years.

See the video below:

These are the tennis balls that will be used during play on day two of the Wimbledon Championships.

All balls as well as posts and nets are supplied by the Dunlop Slazenger Group.

During matches, used balls are replaced by new ones after the first seven games and subsequently the conclusion of every ninth game between players.

MailSport reporter Tamara Prenn revealed a glass of Pimms at Wimbledon this year will set cost tennis fans close to £10 after food and drink prices were hiked before the tournament.

For those looking to quench their thirst, a pint of beer – tournament sponsor Stella Artois likely the favoured choice of the fortnight – will set fans back £8.50, in a nearly-£1 increase from last year’s comparatively reasonable £7.55.

There was a lovely moment in the Royal Box yesterday as spectators applauded Sir David Attenborough as he made his way to his seat.

The 98-year-old broadcaster and naturalist made his way past David Beckham and an array of other celebrities in the box overlooking Centre Court.

MailOnline reporters Olivia Christie and Mark Duell report Emma Raducanu joked she was inspired by England’s ‘ugly’ win over Slovakia in the Euros following her victory over Renata Zarazua in her opening match

The British ace defeated the World No 98 from Mexico 7-6 6-3 as Three Lions legend David Beckham watched on from the Royal Box.

It was the 21-year-old’s first match back at the Championships since her injury-forced absence 12 months ago so her main goal was undoubtedly just to make it over the line.
