TOP MATCH

Novak Djokovic v Kevin Anderson.

A rematch of the 2018 Wimbledon final where the Serb triumphed in straight sets, a pivotal victory in his career as it was his first Grand Slam title in more than two years.

Anderson will be looking to recreate the form he showed that year when he saw off Roger Federer on his way to the final. The South African has had a torrid time through injury since then but produces his best tennis on grass.

POTENTIAL UPSET

Ons Jabeur's star is rising and she has the potential to beat the veteran Venus Williams. She has targeted the semi-finals of Wimbledon and at the 2020 Australian Open, Jabeur became the first Arab woman to reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. The Tunisian also won her first singles title earlier this month in the final of the Birmingham Classic.

BRIT WATCH

Katie Boulter faces a tough match against second seed Aryna Sabalenka on Centre Court.

Andy Murray is up against Germany's Oscar Otte.

British men's No 1 Dan Evans faces Serbia's Dusan Lajovic.

On the outside courts, Samantha Murray is up against Romania's Sorana Cirstea while Emma Raducanu faces Russia's Vitalia Diatchenko.
