Accessibility: BBC TV, radio, and online platforms, inclusive of BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and the mobile app, offer comprehensive live coverage. Additional coverage information can be found here.
Burrage, who represents Britain, seemed overwhelmed by the setting of her first match on Centre Court, leading to her defeat by Daria Kasatkina, the 11th seed, within an hour.
The 24-year-old Burrage had tasted her maiden victory at the All England Club just the previous Monday, but succumbed to Kasatkina with a score of 6-0, 6-2 in the second round.
Burrage, the second-ranked British player, managed to score only seven points in the initial set that lasted 19 minutes.
Although Burrage took an early lead in the second set, a pause due to rain disrupted her rhythm. Upon resumption, Kasatkina rallied to win five consecutive games, propelling her into the top 32.
Burrage was one of seven British players slated to perform on Wednesday, amidst a schedule packed with 87 matches. This rush was due to the postponement of most second-day matches due to heavy rain.
The third day also began on a damp note, with play on the outer courts commencing nearly two hours later than scheduled at 12:45 BST.
Additionally, an unforeseen interruption occurred when environmental activists invaded Court 18, scattering confetti and a jigsaw on the court during the match between Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria and Japan’s Sho Shimabukuro.
Updates will follow.

Gutted for Jodie… really thought she was gonna bring it after that first win on monday. Looks like the nerves got to her :/
Can’t stand these rain delays!! messed up the schedule and maybe even affected the player’s performance. Ugh.
Really hope they get a handle on the schedule after yesterday’s downpour, 87 matches in a day is insane… I need to know when to book off work!! lol
Kasatkina’s game post the rain delay was something else! 5 straight games is no joke, kudos to her.
First time on Centre Court and it’s against an 11th seed, that’s tough. Burrage did well considering. Looking forward to seeing more of her.
Did anyone else see the environmental protest on Court 18? about time climate issues got the spotlight even if its in the middle of a tennis match.
Can’t be too harsh on burrage, going up against kasatkina is no small feat. Besides, she’s only 24, plenty of time for her to bounce back. All the best Jodie!!
