Henman was four times a point from victory on Monday

Tim Henman will return to Centre Court on Tuesday with his epic first-round match against Carlos Moya hanging in the balance at 5-5 in the fifth set.

Henman saw four match points come and go before darkness forced the players off court late on Monday evening with the score 6-3 1-6 5-7 6-2 5-5.

The match will resume after Amelie Mauresmo begins the defence of her crown on day two.

The French fourth seed faces 21-year-old American Jamea Jackson.

Highlights: Wimbledon day one

Russian second seed Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion, is scheduled to meet Jung-Jan Chan of Taipei on Court One.

Second seed Rafael Nadal plays Mardy Fish, while Serb fourth seed Novak Djokovic meets Potito Starace, both on Centre Court.

Elsewhere in the women's draw, French Open finalist Ana Ivanovic, the Serbian sixth seed, plays Hungary's Melinda Czink.

American Venus Williams, champion in 2000, 2001 and 2005, is in action against SW19 debutante Alla Kudryavtseva, 19, of Russia.

All the changes show that Wimbledon wants to stay ahead in terms of competition with the other grand slams Amelie Mauresmo

Mauresmo says she has welcomed the changes at the All England Club this year with the introduction of Hawk-Eye and the changes on Centre Court.

"Personally I think it's great," she said. "It's really showing that, at the same time as keeping the traditional part of the tournament, the tournament also tries to really evolve.

"I think for the crowd, for the players, and for the people watching on TV, Hawk-Eye is a good thing. I definitely think it puts more entertainment into the game.

"The new Centre Court, to have the possibility of closing the roof, I think it's great. All these things are showing that Wimbledon is really wanting to stay ahead in terms of competition with the other grand slams."

Second seed Sharapova, champion in 2004, feels she has a chance of regaining the title this year.

"As long as I'm healthy, there is no reason I can't win," she said.

Mauresmo has not been having the best of seasons

"There's a very thin line in tennis between winning and losing. A lot of things can turn very quickly and a lot of that is mental as well. But, as a lot of people know, I'm mentally pretty strong so that is a big factor."

British hopefuls in action on day two include Alex Bogdanovic, who pushed eventual champion Andy Roddick hard at Queen's ahead of Wimbledon.

He will fancy his chances against Australia's world number 95 Chris Guccione who has never played in the SW19 main draw.

Richard Bloomfield faces a tough task against another Aussie, the former champion and 16th seed Lleyton Hewitt.

Jonathan Marray, ranked 261st in the world, is up against Sebastien Grosjean of France, a semi-finalist in 2003 and 2004. Lee Childs, the world number 404, takes on Asiam al-Haq Qureshi of Pakistan, currently ranked 259.

Elena Baltacha is first on Court Three against Slovak 19th seed Katarina Srebotnik. Melanie South, who reached the 2006 second round by beating 11th seed Francesca Schiavone, faces Japan's Ai Sugiyama, seeded 26th.

British number one Katie O'Brien resumes at 5-3 up against Germany's Sandra Kloesel, while Anne Keothavong takes on Serbian third seed Jelena Jankovic on Court Two.

Tuesday's weather forecast is for drier conditions at Wimbledon after the opening day's play was held up by heavy showers.
