Opening the show andy murray raises the Centre Court Curtain and begins the defence of his title with an easy win. The british womens number one Johanna Konta is on court at the moment. Well bring you the very latest. And well wrap up the rest of the days action, including an emotional Venus Williams following her first round win. Also coming on in the programme, well bring you the rest of the days Sports News Asjohn terry signs for championship side aston villa, pledging to get them back into the premier League Welcome to the crowds enjoying the crowds enjoying Johanna Konta, we havent needed the roof for the rain except for a couple of moments. The andy murray was the first to step out onto the manicured turf. Hip injuries, elbow strains, shingles and flu its not been the easiest of years for the world number one. But as defending champion, he had the honour of opening the show ben croucher reports and so begins the most quintessentially british fortnight of the british summer. Fancy dress, queueing and andy murray. How would his Hip Injury Play against a player known as unpredictable style . Just fine. The murray shows. This was tennis in the fast lane. Commentator theres a little bit of good fortune in that but theres even more superb touch. And it wasnt just the but theres even more superb touch. And it wasntjust the next but theres even more superb touch. And it wasnt just the next where murray excelled in bruising to the two sets, but wimbledon wouldnt be wimbledon without the british weather saying hello. Cherished by some more than others. It was the only respite murrays opponent would ta ke only respite murrays opponent would take as he was in no mood to do easy on the debutante. He went straight sets straightforward defending champion through. I steal pretty good. The last few days, i was feeling better each day. Getting out and the match court is a little bit different, the intensity is a little bit hard but the adrenaline and stuff, it sort of helps and numbs some pain that you have. I moved well today, and i thought i did pretty well for a first match. German dustin brown awaits in the second round. If only the next two weeks prove this simple formality. Simple for murray. Im joined by Miles Mclachlan who used to coat murray and knows him inside out. What do make a first performance . I think it was a good performance. I dont think any of the big names are looking to play their best tennis in the first round. But considering what hes been through, he hasnt played much grass court tennis, its about getting out there. They opponent was tricky, there were some big serve and big hitting. They are playing as players who know they have to play the game of their lives, backs against the wall. He will be happy with the way he came through, with those hip issues we were talking about, it will be in important to get to the matches as easily as possible. He needs to spend time covering. We were talking about the hip the of the championship. How it with cameras following him . Of the championship. How it with cameras following him . How did he bore up to the pressure on centre court . He looked good moving around. Finally enough, when you see him Walking Around normally, you wouldnt think hes One Of The Best athletes we have. It is quite clumsy isnt athletes we have. It is quite clumsy isn athletes we have. It is quite clumsy isnt a . A bit stiff with the wall. Once the point starts, hes electric. So much progress was made. As with any tournament, having a local favourite. We desperately want to play. Most of the carrotjab players are most players are carrying some kind of injury. He didnt go out as much as he liked to. The rest of his body was fresher vote, which could be good. Given the lack of grass court practice, its a bit much to ask him to pull off a Third Wimbledon title . Are we expecting too much . We can expect a lot of him. He is a great player. I think roger federer, nadal, ourfamous because of the form they have shown this year, there are in great mental state, winning a lot of matches. But andy has been around a lot, and is relu cta nt to andy has been around a lot, and is reluctant to play against them, the same goes for novak djokovic. They are great champions come and they wont take it to the quarterfinals, almost the a equivalent of getting to the victim of winning a match. Hes done it before, i wouldnt put it past them. Dont write off andy murray. We look forward to as much against dustin brown who will be a bit of a bigger test, ranked 97. He knocked out rafa nadal here earlier. Lets go to court number one, Johanna Konta is up againstjey su wei, the same player who knocked her out in the first round against Roland Garros. Johanna konta is a set up and a break in the second as well, 2 1 to the british number one on court one behind us. What have you made a Johanna Kontas form, what is going on with injury . She had a Holeable Fall At Eastbourne last week. She finished the match. She beat the french champion early in the morning. She was two points of the end, she went out from underneath, landed on her back, and visible out. Had to pull out. The women possibly draw is wide open and she is definitely one of the mains in the equation. A game suits the glass. Her game suits the grass. But she hasnt had to deal with the pressure in the later stages. She has always struggled at wimbledon with the pressure and scrutiny . Its only really in the last year and a half that she has become the level of player she is now. She hasnt had the years of building up to it that maybe andy murray did before he actually got the title. He was in and around the mix forfour or six yea rs. And around the mix forfour or six years. Feeling what it was like. If Johanna Konta does get later, we will see how she deals with it. Shes turned herself from a good pro and anti a top player whose changing her mental state of mind. What she has done so far again, has been impressive. I wouldnt rule out the later stages. The womens draw wide open. Thank you for coming here and sharing your thoughts on day one. Im sure we will speak to you later in the full fortnight. All in all 12 british players started in the singles draw this year but weve gotjust ten left standing joe lynskey can bring us up to date with the rest of the brits. With wimbledon tradition comes british optimism. Tucked away from centre court splendour, our players seeking their own kind of grand slam victory. Laura robson is still on a journey back to her best. Four years ago, she was in the world top 30 and ad court 18, she showed flashes of why. But the britons battles with injury has brought inconsistency. Law were going to the shop but missing the target again. The errors we re missing the target again. The errors were straightforward for her opponent, lawlor once made the last i6 opponent, lawlor once made the last 16 year hill but she wants to get the consistency back. Im disappointed. I dont figure played my best tennis. Frustrating but i can loosen up at the back, im frustrated, i let myself down. Nerves and the court can bring you feel or freedom. Nerves and the court can bring you feel orfreedom. And nerves and the court can bring you feel or freedom. And Cameron Norries first day, facing the top seed can prove daunting. But Jo Wilfried Tsonga knows the way past even the best opponent. Rather u nfortu nately for past even the best opponent. Rather unfortunately for cameron norrie, i get the feeling hes starting to enjoy himself. A fearless first outing will set him up next year. At 38 ivo karlovic has a secret to his longevity, his search. The slovenian born the british born opponent took game. For Heather Watson, things looked straightforward. She raced the first set against her opponent, and doesnt know straws in on day one, there was plenty of reason for british optimism. Broody and watson still going out on the court. Well bring you the scores as they come in. One of the stories of the tournament the return of Petra Kvitova. A two time champion here, shes missed six months of tennis, after she was she was the victim of a knife attack in her own home just before christmas. Tendons in her hand were severed, and she thought she may never play tennis again. But shes back and today she played swedensjohanna larrson on centre court. Alex gulrajani was watching just being at wimbledon, Petra Kvitova said, was winning. Its been a turbulent six months. They welcome return to the place she calls a second home. Yet in familiar surroundings there was still an obvious pair of trepidation. Not the feel, i can understand that all that happened with her left hand. But the nerves soon disappeared, and a full array of shots were back shots were full on offer. Shots were full on offer. She flipped the switch so quickly. Shes a different player. She got back to what she does best, fully charged. The first set was seen her, now playing with a beaming smile on her face, everything was falling into place. More and more of the same from Petra Kvitova. Thats gorgeous. The injury having little effect now. Magnificent. Full stretch, full control. For those thinking this will be a procession, think again. Larson reminding all what she possessed. While she kept the match competitive, there was only ever going to be one winner. Shes done it. My motivation was a big motivation to come back here and play. It happened in the drink it came through, i was able to play here again. Every matches is said, would be like a final. And the might just be a few more of those yet to come. Petra kvitova, always at a popular champion here. Wouldnt it be amazing if she came back a knife attack, just a dreadful thing to happen, to win the wimbledon title for a third time . We will keep an eye on how to get on over the fortnight. Lets round up some of the other results today, starting with the number two seed in the womens draw, simona halep. Shes through to the second round after a straight sets victory against marina erakovic. Halep took a tight first set 6 4, but found the going much easier in the second, winning it 6 1. The romanian could end the tournament as world number one, if she reaches the quarter finals and other results go her way. Just trying to be focused, to keep the same attitude and the same mentality going, just for the only one match that i have to play, not thinking far. So am not thinking about the result and they have no expectations, i am just trying to work hard every day and to keep the same routine. There was a victory today for former champion rafael nadal who beat millman to earn his 850th career win. He is going for a 16th Grand Slam title. The important thing is i am through. Three years without having the match on grass, so im having a very positive starter thing. I have some positive starter thing. I have some positive feelings and im happy with how i started the match. The enigmatic australian nick kyrgios is out though. He was struggling with injury coming into wimbledon after suffering a fall at queens and looked uncomfortable against Frances Pierre hugues herbert. Kyrgios lost the first two sets before retiring. But there were few problems for japans ninth seed kei nishikori, who overwhelmed his opponent marco cecchinato. The italian managed to win two games in the first set, but that was as good as it got for him as nishikori breezed through to round two 6 2, 6 0, 6 0 just one more notable result to bring you. Theres no serena at the championships this year of course, but Venus Williams is here and she had to work hard to dispatch her first round opponent Elise Mertens of belgium. The american won the first set on a tie break, and eventually wrapped up a straight sets win by taking the second 6 4. Now, Last Month Venus was involved in a fatal car crash and was asked about it in her post match press conference. Theres really no words to describe how devastating. Yeah, i am completely speechless. And its just. Yeah. Im just. Maybe i should go. Venus williams visibly distressed. She did come back and answer a couple of questions about her much but she will be asked the fatal car crash in florida just a few weeks ago. Just one of the big stories of the championships another is security the championships this year come on the back of recent Terror Attacks in london, meaning security has been an even bigger priority for chief executive Richard Lewis and his team at the all england club. For obvious reasons, security is high on the agenda. And the only visible change from last year, the vehicle blog protecting people in the queue. That is for obvious reasons given recent terrorist attack. Other measures increased and enhance behind the scenes, below the radar. Wimbledon has always had a Strong Security system and is no different this year. This year its as much as anything about reassurance that people are worried about security, and we need to persuade that all the measures in place are in place. We have a great relationship with the Security Services and we are confident about the robust measures in place. You said people are worried are you worried about it given recent events . Worried about it given recent events . No more than any other year. We have lived for an era in many yea rs we have lived for an era in many years security is the number one issue. That is the first thing you put in place, beyond anything else. No more so than any other year. Is that every group of people spoken to in the last week or two have mentioned security, rightly so. We wa nt mentioned security, rightly so. We want public to be vigilant and support anything suspicious, thats pa rt support anything suspicious, thats part of a good Security System. In that sense even that doesnt worry me. But part of what we are messaging this year is reassurance, we have a good Security System in place and people should feel very confident when they are here. Its hard to believe, but wimbledon isnt the only story in town. Lets round up some of the days other sports news, away from the tennis. Former chelsea captain john terry has joined aston villa, on a one year contract. Terry became a free agent after being released by chelsea and had been linked with the move to the midlands for a while, with interest also from birmingham city. But villa always looked the likely destination particularly after terry posted a picture of himself playing golf with mnager steve bruce last month. Hell aim to help villa get back into the premier League Following their relegation in 2016. The history is huge, the stadium itself, the training ground, the facilities here. When you look back at the players whove been here in the trophies behind us as we speak today, incredible. Here is a big football club, and it deserves to be back in the premier league. Thats the reason why im here. Slovakian World Champion peter sagan won stage three of the tour de france, after a 126 mile stage that started in belgium and finished at longwy in france. Britains Geraint Thomas finished eighth today to extend his race lead to 12 seconds, after the rest of the top six failed to finish in the main bunch. Which means his team leader, chris froome, is up to second overall. And south africa will be without their captain Faf Du Plessis for the opening test match against england at lords. He returned home for the birth of his first child and wont be back in time for the match which gets under way on thursday.

And there been boosted by the news by sean obrien has had his penalty dismissed. The claim of dangerous play has been dismissed. We heard Graham Rowntree speaking yesterday saying obrien is the Barometer Energy and aggression in their side. He had a great game in their side. He had a great game in the second test.
