Wimbledon 2022 LIVE: Novak Djokovic cruising before Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray in action

Kokkinakis puts his racket behind his head and winces in frustration after ballooning a forehand long on the Djokovic second serve at 30-30.

Djokovic then plays a stunning backhand pass to win the game and stay ahead.

Kokkinakis got a look at Djokovic’s serve at 15-30 after hitting a nice forehand pass, but Djokovic seized upon an error on the next point to take the hold.

Kokkinakis stays in it as he rains a big serve down the middle.

A stat flashes up on Centre Court informing us that it’s been over 1,800 days since Djokovic’s last defeat at Wimbledon, just to illustrate the size of the task facing Kokkinakis here.

Steve Johnson completes the job against Britain’s Ryan Peniston on Court No 3 to wrap up a 6-3 6-2 6-4 victory.

It’s been a brilliant grass-court swing for Peniston but his run at SW19 ends here. Plenty of hope for the future, though.

Number two seed Anett Kontaveit is out after a shock but comprehensive defeat to the world number 97 Jule Niemeier on Court No 1.

It’s another disappointing performance at a grand slam for Kontaveit – who is still yet to progress further than the quarter-finals at a major.

A 6-4 6-0 win for Niemeier looks surprising, but Kontaveit was not fancied to go far in this tournament.

Djokovic gets his nose in front but Kokkinakis replies with an ace and then a big serve out wide. When the points are extended the Australian is struggling, though, and he nets on the forehand under little pressure.

Break point coming up, as Djokovic holds his hands up after clipping the net cord on a sliced backhand dropshot.

Djokovic gets a racket on a big serve from Kokkinakis and gets into the net, only to drift one long. Kokkinakis then gets ahead with a strong forehand drive into the corner.

He can’t close, though, and then another forehand towards the Djokovic backhand drifts wide. Another break point, and that’s too good.

Djokovic snaps the backhand return at Kokkinakis and then follows in a forehand down the line to put away the volley at the net. Long way back now for the Australian.

Djokovic gets the better of an exchange of slices as he drops Kokkinakis at the net. Comfortable hold for Djokovic and Kokkinakis is struggling to get close to her serve at the moment.

Now, can Kokkinakis keep his head up? Losing the opener 6-1 will hurt but a love to hold to kick off the second set will boost his confidence. Big serving from the tall and rangy Australian, as Djokovic nets on the return on game point.

Very comfortable for Djokovic, as he steps in for the serve and volley to move to 40-0. Another pick-up volley is too deft and he races to the opening set in 30 minutes.

Kokkinakis faces another pressure point at 15-30, and as Djokovic fires the return into his feet the Australian goes wide on the forehand.

Kokkinakis replies with an ace, and then Djokovic nets. Kokkinakis nets to bring up another break point but hangs on as he forces Djokovic long on the net exchange.

Back to deuce, better from Kokkinakis, and a backhand slice from Djokovic drifts wide. Kokkinakis can’t get out, though, as Djokovic steps into the rally.

And there’s the break. Brilliant drop shot from Djokovic and Kokkinakis can’t pick it up other the net.

Kokkinakis gets on the the board with a hold to 30, but Djokovic makes a quick reply as a lob from Kokkinakis drifts long of the baseline.
