Wimbledon 2025 live: Latest tennis scores and results as Novak Djokovic faces Dan Evans before Jack Draper plays

Can Djokovic take the first set here then?

He’s been far from imperious but was better when it mattered just then.

He races into a 40-0 lead with a clever slice and volley, before rifling in an ace to take the opening set.

Again, Djokovic’s service game goes by with few troubles, but Evans finds himself in a precarious position again after overhitting a volley at the net.

Four break points for Djokovic…He can’t take the first, firing long.

And the next two fall too, giving Evans deuce before he takes the advantage with a great serve.

Serving to hold…but he returns it long, before Djokovic fires a forehand down the line for advantage.

And Djokovic finally has the break as Evans fires long!

Djokovic takes his own serve game easily enough – could this become a pattern as we go on?

Not a great start for Evans on his service game as he double faults twice in a row. Could that be the opening Djokovic was sniffing for?

The sixth seed forces Evans into an error on the return to move to 40-0 up, though he fires long to give the Englishman a route back in.

Evans follows that up with a great – if slightly accidental – volley at the net, and he saves deuce as Djokovic returns to the net!

And now Evans rifles in an ace! Remarkable!

Break point for Djokovic after Evans slices wide, but the Serb can’t capitalise.

We head for the fourth deuce but Djokovic takes the advantage again as Evans slices wide on a golden chance at the net – before the sixth seed fires long with a return!

Djokovic can’t return the serve on the fourth break point, and remarkably we’re at a fifth deuce of the second third game!

But Evans closes it out brilliantly, with Djokovic hitting the net on deuce before Evans approaches the net and catches him out with a slice.

A nice volley to start for Evans, and after a decent rally he smashes home another down the middle for 30-15.

A couple of nice slices almost catch out Djokovic, but the Serb answers brilliantly with a lovely cross-court forehand.

No worries for Evans as he lashes in an ace, but the Serb works him around the court for deuce with another lovely forehand.

Evans wins advantage courtesy of a brilliantly placed serve, but he can only find the net on the next point.

Pretty entertaining so far, and only three games in!

Centre Court is packed out for this one, and the crowd is so up for it.

Evans can be a divisive figure, prickly towards himself and others at times (as I type this, he appears to glare at someone in the crowd before he takes his first serve), but the fans are fully behind him.

The noise is carrying as if the roof were closed.
