  1. - - So that's that for tonight. Tomorrow we will have Andy Murray and Laura Robson in action in their second round matches as well as Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka. So join us again then - we'll be back from midnight UK time

  2. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 6-3 - GAME, SET & MATCH! Harrison attempts a forehand passing shot down the line but goes just wide to hand Djokovic a first match point. He saves it with a gutsy second serve which Nole can only return into the net. But the world number one gets a second chance and this time he produces a forehand winner to seal it.

  3. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 5-3 - Another very speedy service hold from Djokovic, to love, slings all the pressure back over the net at Harrison who will now have to serve to stay in this match

  4. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 4-3 - Harrison shows some real steely determination as he saves a break point with a series of huge serves before going on to hold when Djokovic puts what should have been a routine forehand volley into the net

  5. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 4-2 - Harrison produces a sublime cross court forehand passing shot winner that shows some of the best that he can produce. But it's the only point he manages against the Djokovic serve - that's just eight in the whole match - and the defending champion is potentially just two games away from the third round now

  6. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 3-2 - Well done Ryan Harrison! He works Djokovic round the baseline to enjoy one of his most comfortable service holds yet, sealing the game to 15 when the Serb sends a defensive lob well long of the baseline

  7. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 3-1 - Boom! A series of huge first serves and Djokovic has another service hold as he continues his inexorable march into the third round

  8. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 2-1 - The world number one dismissively blocks back Harrison's fastest serve of the night, his inside out backhand whizzing past the still recovering American and landing just inside the baseline for a winner. But Harrison does hold with back-to-back aces. And he is on the scoreboard in this third, and surely final, set

  9. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 2-0 - Harrison shows what he is capable of on his better days as he steps out to meet a wide serve from Djokovic and wallops it back across court and onto the sideline for a great winner. But again, it is the only real success point as Djokovic goes on to hold with a vicious cross court forehand that Harrison cannot chase down

  10. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 1-0 - BREAK! Credit to Harrison as he continues to try something new, coming into the net this time, only to be passed by a sublime, dipping backhand passing shot winner from Djokovic which lands right on the sideline. It brings up break points again and sure enought Nole takes the first

  11. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 6-2 - SET! Stunning stuff from Djokovic as he quickly earns himself three set points before wrapping things up with an explosive cross court forehand that Harrison can only return into the net

  12. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 5-2 - Harrison is trying to see the funny side as he enjoys a chuckle at something someone in the crowd shouts. And it seems to bouy him as he holds to double his output in this set - another Djokovic drop shot failing to work, the ball this time not even making it over the ner

  13. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 5-1 - Djokovic simply has too much pace for Harrison today, the American looking a step slow on every ball. And the Serb quickly posts another hold to leave Harrison serving to stay in this second set

  14. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 4-1 - BREAK! This could all be over very quickly now as Djokovic secures another quick break. He does try a second backhand drop shot, which again is duly dispatched by Harrison, but it's the only bright spot for the American in another tough game as he hits long to help Nole break

  15. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 3-1 - A love service hold from Djokovic as he races through with a couple of aces and a couple of unreturnable. Easy for the world number one

  16. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 2-1 - Better from Harrison as he manages to produce a couple of huge serves, including a second serve out wide that Djokovic can only return long. That gets the American off the mark in this second set

  17. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 2-0 - Djokovic is really picking on the Harrison and so far it is paying dividends as another forehand error from the American leaves Nole with two game points. Djokovic takes advantage of the first though, firing down an ace to consolidate his early break

  18. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 1-0 - BREAK! Harrison saves a first break point in this second with an ace out wide. But Djokovic plays a sublime looped topspin forehand lob, which he lands right on the baseline, to bring up a second chance. And this time he does break, biding his time on the baseline until Harrison sends a forehand long

  19. - - DJOKOVIC 6-1 - SET! An odd moment when Djokovic plays a poor dropshot and is duly punished, only briefly halts the Serb's inexorable march towards the second round as he races through another hold (for the loss of just that one point). That's a very impressive set from Djokovic

  20. - - DJOKOVIC 5-1 - BREAK! Djokovic riffles a forehand down the line to push Harrison back and draw the error from the American (a forehand into the net) on his way to setting up another two break points. But only one is needed as Harrison goes for too much on a forehand and sends the ball sailing long

  21. - - DJOKOVIC 4-1 - Despite slapping a lax smash into the net, Djokovic posts another business-like service hold to further stretch his lead

  22. - - DJOKOVIC 3-1 - Harrison has a lot of support in the crowd, shown by the whistle and cheers as he gets off the mark with a hold to 30, Djokovic sending a forehand return well long off a huge serve from the American

  23. - - DJOKOVIC 3-0 - The world number one races through a love service hold; an ace, a couple of unreturnables and a forehand wide from Harrison sealing it for Djokovic. The Serb has a 3-0 lead in just seven minutes, restricting Harrison to just the one point so far

  24. - - DJOKOVIC 2-0 - BREAK! Ouch! Not bad tennis from Harrison on a number of points but Djokovic gets simply everything back on his way to setting up an early break point. And it's a double fault from Harrison that concedes serve.

  25. - - DJOKOVIC 1-0 - The world number one eases through a quick service hold to open the match in a winning way. This is going to be a massive test for the young American, who is being touted as the next big thing in the US

  26. - - World number 62, the 20-year-old Ryan Harrison looks a little apprehensive as he walks out on court ahead of a smiling Novak Djokovic
