Wimbledon got underway overnight, the famous tennis grand slam on the lawns of south-west London.

Novak Djokovic is the overwhelming favourite in the men's draw, with the Serbian looking for a record-extending 24th grand slam title, and eighth at Wimbledon.

The tournament marks 40 years since New Zealand's Chris Lewis stunned the tennis world to make the Wimbledon final, eventually losing to John McEnroe.
