Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis scores as Raducanu crashes out before Djokovic returns

Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 5-3 Perricard*

Musetti races into a 40-0 lead after Perricard forces one shot wide and other long.

The Italian approaches the net but Perricard forces him into the cushioned return from a lob before rifling a passing shot through.

No matter for the Italian though, as he takes the next point and holds serve again.

An entertaining first point in the next game, with both players exchanging shots at the net before Perricard guides the winner across the Italian on the volley.

The Italian scoops another shot long and it’s 40-15, though Perricard’s mistake lets him back into it at 40-30.

A silly double fault from the Frenchman makes it deuce – he went for the big second serve again. He double faults again, back-to-back, to give Musetti the advantage and a chance for a second break – but he fires in 130mph serve for deuce again.

Musetti almost takes the win after two brilliant returns down the line, but his second is centimetres too long. The Italian has a third break point as the mild rain begins – but the Frenchman brings us back to deuce with a nice cross-court winner.

An extraordinary point saves Perricard – Musetti tries the inventive lob with the racquet between his legs, but it’s not high enough to beat the 6’8 Frenchman.

Moments ,after, he saves another break point by firing two brilliant overheads, the second of which is unreturnable.

Perricard finally takes it after forcing Musetti wide and then firing the return into acres of empty space.

Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 4-2 Perricard*

The sky is getting greyer and greyer at the moment, but no sign of a break in play yet.

The sixth game of the set starts off equal, before Perricard skids a return well wide and it’s 40-15 before he knows it.

The next point results in a couple of lovely shots in the rally, before Musetti takes the game with a beautiful backhand passing shot that he guides down the line.

A good first serve from Perricard is too much for Musetti, and the Frenchman makes it 30-0 after Musetti scoops a return past the baseline.

Another huge serve – 128mph – is unreturnable, and it’s 40-0.

The Frenchman takes the game with an overhead smash, and will look to answer Musetti’s break in the next game.

Perricard could be in trouble here!

The Italian has the break point and he takes it for an early advantage in set three.

The Italian hits a brilliant cross-court winner for 30-15 in the next game, before an almost carbon copy of the shot once more to make it 40-15.

He confirms the break with a silky drop shot that the Frenchman can’t reach.

Musetti 4-6, *5-3 Perricard

A lovely dustuigsed drop shot from Musetti puts him 40-15 up, so he has two break points.

And Perricard double faults! What a risk – he went for the big second serve and it landed miles wide.

Musetti will serve for the set.

Musetti 4-6, 4-3* Perricard

Another fairly one-sided game for the one serving, with Perricard scuffing a couple of shots to give Musetti the 40-15 lead before the Frenchman can’t return the serve. Another hold for 4-3.

Musetti 4-6, *1-1 Perricard

Musetti entered Wimbledon with the most wins on grass this year and a 10-2 record.

A solid service game to open the second set sees Musetti target the Perricard forehand out wide on the love side of the court.

A comfy hold, just what the Italian needed after dropping a tight opener.

In a flash, Perricard holds, coming in with aggression and calmly cushioning a backhand volley away from Musetti to hold.
