    *Williams 3-6 7-6 (8-6) 2-1 Joint

    Down 15-30, Serena Williams - somewhat inevitably - unleashes an ace.

    Two points later, she lets out a high-pitched scream of frustration. Maya Joint reacts quickly to get a racquet on a backhand played behind her and Williams makes a complete hash of what should have been a clear backhand winner.

    Stan Wawrinka can still play at an incredible level, even at the age of 41.

    A dreamy forehand winner down the line helps him level the fourth set at 4-4.

    I thought the Centre Court crowd were always supportive of underdogs, but it seems their obsession with ageing 'has-beens' takes preference. Come on Maya Joint, you can win this!

    Well, they are trying to keep Maya Joint positive in that box.

    Sam Stosur is leading the way on that front, but it isn't an easy thing to do at the moment.

    Serena Williams takes the lead for the first time in the match. And it's courtesy of another forehand error from Maya Joint. Her radar has gone haywire.

    Oh, Maya Joint's forehand is frustratingly erratic! Error, winner, error.

    Pressure.

    Great response! Maya Joint leapt into that cross-court forehand, getting over the top of the ball nicely.

    Serena Williams simply observes its passing.

    Maya Joint wanders back to the baseline with her hand to her face. Poor forehand.

    I know that all attention is, rightfully, on Serena Williams’ Wimbledon singles comeback on Centre Court.

    But there is a real humdinger on Court One right now, which is getting all the love and appreciation it deserves from the engrossed crowd under the roof.

    The 41-year-old Stan Wawrinka and former Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini are fast approaching the four-hour mark in their first-round meeting - and there’s every chance it could go on a fair while longer still.

    All three completed sets have gone to a tie-break, including a whopping 34-pointer won by Berrettini to take the second.

    There is some magnificent grass-court tennis being played here and, as the scoreline suggests, very little to separate the two. It could be a late one...

    A rare drop shot from Maya Joint - and it's a winner!

    But Serena Williams battles through another lengthy baseline exchange and draws a backhand error.

    Serena Williams, now standing two paces inside the baseline to receive second serves, pounds a cross-court backhand and follows it up with a forehand into the opposite corner. 30-all.

    Joint hits back with a wide serve, returned long, but then nets a forehand.

    More pressure on her serve.

    Serena Williams has got to feel that Maya Joint is cooling off just a touch, after playing at an incredible level.

    Maya Joint looks visibly disappointed after every point she loses - a stark contrast to the emotionless first set she played.

    Down 40-0, she has a moment of cheer, nailing a backhand winner, but it's Serena Williams who has the final roar. She holds to 30.

    That last game was very important for Maya Joint to get on the board, especially after not being able to convert that match point.

    She was down 15-40 but she kept her head about her.

    Serena's back - hooray! Is this going to start a craze of other champions coming back to play? Roger Federer perhaps? He is the same age as Serena.

    Mary, my dream is Roger Federer playing invitation doubles with Mansour Bahrami. I don't need him to return to the Tour, just him and Bahrami together somewhere, please.

    That's a huge hold for Maya Joint, sealed with a forehand that nestles into the corner of the court on Serena Williams' forehand side.

    Maya Joint saves the fist break point. A tidy forehand winner on the approach.

    Serena Williams net a backhand to send the game to deuce. Her shoulders slump.

    Maya Joint is standing with her hands on her hips after planting a forehand in the net to give up 15-40.

    Serena Williams, facing away from the court, is bouncing around on the baseline.

    You just have to look at the disappointment of Maya Joint, who has tucked her visor down and is almost hiding under it.

    You could feel Serena coming, the level rising. She was never going to let that opportunity slip away.
