As he continues his quest for a record-extending 24th Grand Slam title, Novak Djokovic will once again pit his wits against Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon, with the sidelined Australian serving an advisory role in countryman Jordan Thompson's corner.
Defending champion Djokovic faces Thompson on Wednesday, and though the odds will be heavily stacked in the Serbian's favour, his 70th-ranked opponent has an ace up his sleeve, having consulted with Kyrgios ahead of the second-round clash., is part of an exclusive club of tennis players with a superior head-to-head record against Djokovic, with the Australian's sole defeat to the world number two coming in last year's final at the All England Club.
The cancellations have caused a scheduling headache, adding to an already long list of matches that had been carried over from Monday. The outlook for Wednesday appears promising, however, with Britain's Met Office predicting a low chance of rain throughout the day, which could enable organisers to begin wading through the sizeable backlog.
Third seed Daniil Medvedev and fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will also complete their postponed first-round matches.
