Donna Vekic and Alison Riske were in the deciding set.

There was a moment of Wimbledon history late on the second day as the new roof on Court One got its first use.

The upgrades to the second show court at the All England Club were finished over the winter and its newest facility was needed to allow Donna Vekic and Alison Riske to finish their first-round match.

Bad light descended over SW19 at around 9.10pm, with the match tied at 5-5 in the deciding set.

A healthy crowd remained in the stadium and were forced into hand clapping and ironic cheers as the roof stopped moving on several occasions.

However, play resumed at 9.25pm, allowing the conclusion of the match under the lights, with Riske claiming the win against the 22nd seed.
