The top seeds survived Monday's first-round action at Wimbledon 2015 without any real shocks, so the big names in the first half of the draw are set to light up SW19 again on Wednesday.

On the men's side, Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori and French Open champion Stan Wawrinka are all set to feature, while former champions Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova headline the women's action.

Here are the men's and women's schedules for Wednesday and a closer look at some of the most exciting matchups.



 

No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. Jarkko Nieminen The world No. 1 overcame a tricky opening-round match with Philipp Kohlschreiber, triumphing 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

The German forced the Serbian to work for his victory, and Kohlschreiber's spirited performance made proceedings far from comfortable for Djokovic.



According to Piers Newbery of BBC Sport, Djokovic said after the match: "He can be very tricky on all the surfaces, especially grass, and had nothing to lose but I managed to stay composed. I made the crucial breaks at 5-4 in all three sets, so hopefully it can stay that way for me."

Per Tennis journalist Chris Goldsmith, Djokovic's performance did not impress former British No. 1 Tim Henman:



A cause for concern could be the 20 unforced errors made by the 28-year-old. While the Djoker is more than capable of stepping up several gears, such loose play would be punished by a fellow contender for the title.



Djokovic will need to be on guard in his second-round clash with Jarkko Nieminen.

The 33-year-old is an experienced player who once ranked 13th in the world, and he has made it the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam on three occasions.

Nieminen made headlines last year when he beat Bernard Tomic in just 28 minutes and 20 seconds, the fastest Masters Tour match in the Open Era.
