18:35 CET - Up next on centre court is Venus Williams (43) vs Elina Svitolina (28). A really interesting contest, with the Ukrainian perhaps surprisingly boasting a superior head-to-head. Hopefully we get a cracking contest.
18:29 CET - After a slightly more difficult final set, reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic (36) is through to the second round. The Serb got past a battling Pedro Cachin (28) 6-3, 6-3, 7-6(4) without really getting out of first gear. He will be well aware that there will be far tougher tests, but it is a solid start nonetheless.

Read more about what Rublev had to say here.
17:10 CET - Thankfully, the sun is back out in London, and play has resumed on every court. So let's update you with a few more results. World No.15 Liudmila Samsonova (24) was upset by Ana Bogdan (30) 7-6(1), 7-6(4) and Caroline Garcia (29) defeated Katie Volynets (21) 6-4, 6-3.

16:26 CET - Casper Ruud (24), a man who has openly expressed his discontent about playing on grass, is now underway on court one against Laurent Lokoli (28). Back on centre court, the match is still being held up as the court is failing to dry because of the humidity. As a result, people are walking around attempting to essentially blow dry the court into submission. It's fair to say that this hasn't been the most conventional start to Wimbledon.
16:04 CET - Despite the roof being closed on centre court, Djokovic is still being held up due to the court not being in playable condition. While you are waiting for further news, check out the match stats from Andrey Rublev's (25) win earlier. The Russian looked very impressive in his first-round clash.
15:58 CET - Iga Swiatek (22) is into the second round! The four-time Grand Slam champion looked in clinical and ominous form on a surface she has previously struggled on, dismantling Lin Zhu (29) 6-1, 6-3. She showed why she is one of the favourites to clinch the Wimbledon crown this year.
15:38 CET - In the least surprising news of the day, rain is falling at SW19. Play has now been stopped on all the courts. However, Djokovic and Swiatek will get underway any minute now after the roofs were closed quickly on the showpiece courts.
In the meantime, some other results for you. Lorenzo Musetti (21) had very little issue beating Juan Pablo Varillas (27) 6-3, 6-1, 7-5, while Petra Martic (32) made it through to round two after Linda Fruhvirtova (18) retired while trailing 7-5, 6-7(5), 4-1.
14:53 CET - World number 20 Victoria Azarenka (33) progressed to the second round after surviving an almighty match against Yue Yuan (24). The Belarussian was victorious 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 to avoid back-to-back first-round defeats at Grand Slams.
14:47 CET - Briton Harriet Dart (26) took an early exit of her local Grand Slam as she couldn't keep up with Diane Parry (20) losing 6-7, 6-0, 6-4.
14:44 CET - Jessica Pegula (29) fought her way through the All-American clash against Lauren Davis (29) winning 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.

14:13 CET - Veronika Kudermetova (26 has shown superb form on the grass over the last few weeks and could be a real force at Wimbledon this year. And now, the Russian has started her campaign with a win, overcoming Kaia Kanepi (38) 7-6(4), 6-4 in a tricky contest to reach the second round. Definitely someone to keep an eye on.
Alycia Parks (22) and Barbora Strycova (37) also both made it through.
13:52 CET - Andrey Rublev (25) is the first winner of the day as he eased past Max Purcell (25) in three straight sets 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.

"I'm really sad to say that I have to withdraw from Wimbledon this year," he wrote on Instagram.
"I tried my hardest to be ready after my surgery and to be able to step on the Wimbledon courts again.
"During my comeback, I experienced some pain in my wrist during the week of Mallorca. As a precaution I had it scanned and it came back showing a torn ligament in my wrist.
