Lleyton Hewitt (1) v Ivo Karlovic
Second set: Karlovic 4 - 5* Hewitt (Hewitt won the first 6-1) Hewitt is struggling. It's official. But he rescues himself from 15-30 down after a double-faulting to hold on. Ladies and gentleman, we now have pictures at last. Or at least I do and that's what is important...

Second set: Karlovic* 4 - 4 Hewitt (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
Good work from the giant who levels again with the help of a couple of aces. This second set is much more like it. Apparently. Is this a commentary first - reporting on a match that one cannot actually see?
Second set: Karlovic 3 - 4 Hewitt* (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
Two double-faults from Hewitt gives Karlovic a chance to get that crucial break at deuce. But the No1 seed holds on to his slim advantage.
Second set: Karlovic* 3 - 3 Hewitt (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
Karlovic stays in touch, holding to love. Anjana has just brought me a cup of tea. James Ritchie once saw Cliff Richard at Wimbledon - a real collector's item there.
Second set: Karlovic 2 - 3 Hewitt* (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
Hewitt continues to breeze through his service games. Karlovic doesn't look anywhere near like breaking him. Not that I can tell really, as we still haven't got pictures here. I feel like Stevie Wonder leading Ray Charles.
Second set: Karlovic* 2 - 2 Hewitt (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
Just as Hewitt's serve improves, so does Karlovic's. But he's doing it the hard way, battling back from 0-40 down to level the set with a dramatic smash - the longest game of the match so far.
Second set: Karlovic 1 - 2 Hewitt* (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
The champion's service game is improving all the time. He wins this one to love. In an effort to fill this commentary void, did you know Hewitt once called a net judge and umpir "spastics" at Roland Garros a couple of years back?
Second set: Karlovic* 1 - 1 Hewitt (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
A few technical problems here involving the loss of coverage from our television monitors is making commentating on this game nigh on impossible. I can tell you that Karlovic held on to his serve after going 15-40 down though, which is something.
Second set: Karlovic 0 - 1 Hewitt* (Hewitt won the first 6-1)
The Australian begins where he left off, winning his first game of the second set to 30.
First set: Karlovic* 1 - 6 Hewitt
The first set lasted all of 19 minutes. David is killing Goliath at the moment. "I don't usually support the Aussies," writes Florence Smooth. "But I feel sorry for them after they were crushed in the rugby. Come on Lleyton!" What a tackle that was by Josh Lewsey on Mat Rogers, by the way.
First set: Karlovic 1 - 5 Hewitt*
Hewitt makes short work of his service game. Robin Adams once saw Rachel from S-Club and her mum on centre court.
First set: Karlovic* 1 - 4 Hewitt
Well, well. Karlovic manages to get some consistency on the serve and it pays off. He's got 10 inches on Hewitt and the ball is really bouncing up around the Australian's head. He's struggling to return the Croat's first serve. (Is it Croat or Croatian or either?) Meanwhile Mike Newell, of all people, has just been appointed the new manager of Luton Town.
First set: Karlovic 0 - 4 Hewitt*
A couple of decent baseline rallies and Karlovic shows he has some nice ground strokes, but Hewitt is always in control. Email in with your celebrity encounters at Wimbledon.
First set: Karlovic* 0 - 3 Hewitt
Karlovic is struggling with his toss. He's got a big first serve when it's in, but it's erractic. Two more double faults and he's three-love down. Hewitt marches business-like, straight to his chair. He looks like he doesn't want to hang around for long.
First set: Karlovic 0 - 2 Hewitt*
Hewitt has been struggling for grass court form in preparation for Wimbledon this year and was apparently a bit tense about playing such an unknown - this is Karlovic's first Grand Slam match. However, Hewitt is not showing any sign of nerves now, back up the break of serve by winning his own to love.
First set: Karlovic* 0 - 1 Hewitt
Hewitt, the defending champion from Australia, is up against the tallest man on the men's circuit here. Karlovic is 6ft 10in. But that's about the only impressive thing about the Croatian. He survives his first break point with a rather jammy drop shot, but loses after serving his second double fault of the opening game.
