Andy Murray continues his Wimbledon title challenge on Thursday with a second-round match against Lu Yen-hsun at the All England Club.
The Scottish second seed is guaranteed an appearance under the roof of Centre Court, despite the rainfall in recent days, and will face Lu in the second scheduled match.
Murray has won three of his previous four matches against the man from Chinese Taipei and defeated Lu in straight sets at this stage of his triumphant campaign in 2013.
The most recent meeting was at Queen's Club last year, where Murray sealed victory in straight sets.
Johanna Konta swiftly returns to action in a second-round match against Eugenie Bouchard after completing her first singles win at Wimbledon on Wednesday.
The British No 1 sealed a straight-sets victory over Monica Puig and will next face the Canadian, who was defeated by Petra Kvitova in the 2014 final.
Dan Evans and Heather Watson will be hoping to resume their matches after the damp weather forced the British duo off court.
Evans was halted as he headed into a first set tie-break with Alexandr Dolgopolov, while Watson was a break down in the deciding set at 6-3 0-6 0-1* in her match with Annika Beck.
Fifth seed Kei Nishikori and sixth seed Milos Raonic will try to follow defending champion Novak Djokovic into the third round by winning their second matches in south west London.
Women's second seed Garbine Muguruza and the fifth-seeded Simona Halep are also part of a packed schedule, with organisers hoping to make up for lost time.
