0941: Three-time champion Chris Evert has been tracked down in Sydney to offer her thoughts on the great grunting debate: "Grunting is one thing but the shrill sound that you hear with players nowadays, and especially when they get louder when they hit a winner, that's the thing that I observe as a player. Really, the next time you watch say Maria Sharapova, the grunting is consistent but all of a sudden when she has a set up, she has a winner, the grunting gets louder. That's a distraction to me because you are hearing a loud grunt before you see the shot. Is it distracting for a player? Yes it is."
0935:
Anne Keothavong on Twitter:
"Jamie Delgado and Jonny Marray are playing dubs at wimbe later today. Nicest guys in british tennis so go and support them!"

0927: After an uncomfortably steamy night in south London, I'm feeling less than match sharp this morning. Fortunately, Andy Murray seems to have had better preparation for another big day. He received a congratulatory phone call from Sir Sean Connery, which I can guarantee will be the theme of his post-match press conference, and rounded off the day with a massage and an ice bath. Nice.
0919: Interestingly, I think, 17-year-old American qualifier Melanie Oudin, who defeated sixth seed Jelena Jankovic on Saturday, was beaten by Laura Robson in the juniors last year. Oudin's earliest Wimbledon memory is watching Venus and Serena on TV. Ouch. She's up against Agnieszka Radwanska in the first match on Court 18.

0905: It's big day and we wouldn't want you to miss any of it, so you can follow the action with this rolling text commentary, or later on BBC Two, then BBC One, BBC HD, streamed on this website (UK only), 5 Live and 5 Live sports extra. And you can catch up with anything you've missed on the BBC iPlayer. Or you could just buy a paper.

0900: The second Monday is always my favourite day as it's the last 16 for both men and women in the singles, meaning we should have 16 top-quality matches. First up on Centre Court at 1300 BST we have a repeat of the French Open final between Federer and Soderling, followed by Safina and Mauresmo, and then Murray v Wawrinka. Court One sees Venus v Ivanovic, Verdasco v Karlovic, and Roddick v Berdych. And we still have big matches kicking off at 1200 BST on the other courts, with Dementieva, Azarenka and Haas among the early starters.

0847: Murray and Wawrinka are good mates and regular practice partners, and they've shared a few tight matches in their time. The Scot leads the head-to-head 4-3, but significantly has won the last two and thrashed the Swiss 6-1 6-3 6-3 at the US Open last year. Wawrinka hasn't been pulling up any trees this year but he reached the semis in Monte Carlo a couple of months ago, and he's currently on an eight-match winning streak after choosing to play a clay-court Challenger event after the French Open. It was an unusual move for someone ranked in the top 20 but he won, so it worked as a confidence-booster.

0840: Morning all, should be a good one today - local boy. Well, relatively local. That's right, Andy Murray continues his bid to become the first British men's singles champion since Fred Perry when he takes on Swiss 19th seed Stanislas Wawrinka in the third match on Centre Court. We're guessing that will be at around 1700 BST.
