Sue Barker presents as the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon plays host to the world's most famous tennis championships. Play on the iconic Centre Court begins at 1.00pm, with Roger Federer returning to defend the title he has won for the past five years. Last year the rain saw off many matches in what was one of the wettest tournaments to date. Despite this, top seeds Roger Federer and Justine Henin defeated their challengers with ease, while Philipp Kohlschreiber became the first seeded player to exit the tournament.
