Evans, who beat Kei Nishikori in his opening match, starts the proceedings on Stadium One against Schwartzman. The only other meeting between the pair was at the Western & Southern Open earlier this summer, with Schwartzman winning in three sets.

Fellow Brit Cameron Norrie will be on in the early hours of the morning BST on Stadium Three when he faces 15th seed Roberto Bautista Agut. In the men's doubles, Joe Salisbury and partner Rajeev Ram are first on Stadium Six court against Tim Puetz and Michael Venus.

Andy Murray faces Alexander Zverev on Tuesday after beating teenager Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling match.

Match of the day

Where to start? Evans and Norrie are both involved in intriguing matches while Ons Jabeur v Danielle Collins should also be entertaining. But the picks of the day are probably the two matches involving Canadians.

On the men's side, ninth seed Denis Shapovalov faces 19th seed Aslan Karatsev while defending women's champion Andreescu takes on 18th seed Anett Kontaveit. It would not be a surprise to see both go to the wire.
