Defending Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic will be looking to secure another win in SW19 as the Serb takes on Jarkko Nieminen on Wednesday while Serena Williams will also be in action.

Djokovic began his title defence with a straight-sets victory over Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber on Monday, and will now be hoping to make it into the third round when he faces Nieminen, who beat 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt in his opening match.

Williams will also be entertaining the crowd on centre court on day three of Wimbledon as she plays Hungary's Timea Babos following her first-round win over Russia’s Margarita Gasparyan on Monday.

British number one Heather Watson will be in action too against Daniela Hantuchova on court number one after coming from a set down to beat Caroline Garcia on Tuesday.
