Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic return to action at Wimbledon on Thursday as the competition begins to heat up in the scorching British summer weather.

Djokovic kicks off on Court One against Adam Pavlasek of the Czech Republic in their second-round tie, while Centre Court will be treated to another British hope in Kyle Edmund before Federer's late match againsat Duan Lajovic.

Top Women's seed Angelique Kerber takes on Belgian Kirsten Flipkens on Court One, while Karolina Pliskova and Magdalena Rybarikova face off on Centre Court.

Edmund's first-round win over fellow Briton Alex Ward gave the world number 50 a long-awaited maiden victory at the All England Club.

FULL SCHEDULE

Edmund's success came at the 10th attempt for the Beverley-raised 22-year-old, after four singles and five doubles failures at the championships, and on Thursday he faces French 15th seed Gael Monfils in round two on Centre Court.

Tim Henman feels that British players, Edmund especially, should be capitalising on their familiarity with grass courts and feeding off the crowd support during Wimbledon fortnight.

"You're really hoping at this time of year and certainly at this championships, that's where they can step up and produce a performance," said former British number one Henman, speaking at an event with HSBC at Wimbledon.

"I think Kyle Edmund is the one that needs to make that breakthrough. He's a very good young player, he's been making big strides.

"He's a top-50 player but it would be great if he could make a breakthrough here."
