Sir Andy Murray will today decide whether he is fit enough to play on Centre Court in what is expected to be his last singles campaign at Wimbledon.
The two-time former champion is one of 12 British players scheduled for singles action today after Emma Raducanu, Lily Mayazaki and Sonay Kartal passed through to the second round on Monday.
The Championships kicked off in star-studded fashion as former England football captain David Beckham took his seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court where he was joined by Sir David Attenborough, Katherine Jenkins, Jamie Cullum and Alexander Armstrong.

Read: Emma Raducanu inspired by 'ugly' Euros win
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.
