Wimbledon: A closer look at the eight Brits in action on day two

Johanna Konta and Dan Evans feature on day two.

Home interest in Wimbledon really hots up on Tuesday as eight British players are in first-round action.

Johanna Konta, semi-finalist here in 2017, leads the way while Dan Evans is the form player on the men's side of the draw.

Here, PA takes a closer look at the Brits playing on day two.

Johanna Konta

Opponent: Ana Bogdan
Best performance at Wimbledon: Semi-final (2017)
Court: Second on Court One
Chances: This should be a fairly routine win for Konta, who is back in the seeds thanks to her brilliant clay-court season. She has happy memories of Wimbledon following her run to the last four here two years ago so is expected to advance.

Dan Evans

Opponent: Joao Sousa
Best performance at Wimbledon: Debut
Court: Fourth on Court 17
Chances: The quick rise of Jubb, just 19, has been one of the stories of the build-up to Wimbledon as he earned a wild card after impressive performances on the US College scene and on the Challenger Tour. He beat Istomin and Andrey Rublev to qualify in Eastbourne, but it will be a major shock if he usurps the world number 69.

Harriet Dart

Opponent: Christina McHale
Best performance at Wimbledon: First round (2018)
Court: First on Court 14
Chances: Dart did not disgrace herself on her SW19 bow last year, taking a set off Karolina Pliskova, while she reached the semi-finals of the mixed doubles. That experience will give her a good chance of beating the American, who came through qualifying.

Katie Swan

Opponent: Laura Siegemund
Best performance at Wimbledon: Second round (2018)
Court: Second on Court 12
Chances: Swan has been handed a wild card after her performance last year, where she got to the second round. She will look to build on that experience and could be one of those to make it through.
