Live Commentary: Eugenie Bouchard vs. Ana Ivanovic - as it happened

Ana Ivanovic and Eugenie Bouchard were given a pleasant surprise this afternoon when they were told that their second-round Wimbledon match was being moved from Court 12 to Centre Court because of Victoria Azarenka's withdrawal.

Twelfth seed Ivanovic was the favourite but it was Canadian teenager Bouchard who upset the odds to progress.

2.32pmNext up on Centre is exciting Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Stick around on Sports Mole for coverage of that one going live very soon.

2.30pmAfter the match she tells BBC Sport that she loves it at Wimbledon, describing it as her "second home".

2.28pmA first-ever appearance on Centre Court for the 19-year-old and didn't she do well. This match was supposed to be on Court 12 but got moved to Centre because of Azarenka's withdrawal.

2.23pmYou might expect Ivanovic to give up but she now has two points to get back one of the breaks.

Bouchard 6-3 *5-2 IvanovicDOUBLE BREAK! Deary me, what a limp performance this is from Ivanovic. She's broken again and now Bouchard will serve for the match and a place in round three of Wimbledon.

2.16pmA clench of the fist from Ivanovic as Bouchard nets with a forehand to win the game. Can the Serb make it three breaks of serve in a row?

2.15pmJust as I say that, Bouchard double faults twice in a row when 40-15 up. Now deuce.

2.14pmThis is a shadow of the Ana Ivanovic who won the French Open in 2008 and was once world number one. Her movement is sluggish and she's being completely outshone by her younger counterpart.

Bouchard 6-3 *3-2 IvanovicBREAK! Brilliant stuff from the teenager as she blocks a service crosscourt before finding the far corner with a forehand winner.

2.11pmAnd now 0-40 as Ivanovic's forehand barely makes it halfway up the net.

2.10pmNow it's Bouchard who has a share of the luck with a net cord. She's looking to break again at 0-30 up.

2.08pmBouchard hits long with a backhand and Ivanovic has two break-back points...

2.06pmA fortunate start to the next game for Ivanovic as she looks to break back. Bouchard tries to lob the Serb but doesn't get enough on it and she has an easy smash. However, Ivanovic lashes the high ball into the tape and luckily for her it plops over the net.

Bouchard 6-3 *2-1 IvanovicThe 12th seed does hold on the next point though, kneeling low to push a forehand up the line that Bouchard can then only drag wide with her backhand.

2.04pmAt 40-0 it looks as if Ivanovic will hold easily but Bouchard prolongs the game a little longer with a firm low pass that the Serb can't loop over the net.

Bouchard 6-3 2-0* IvanovicBouchard must be wondering if it's always this easy against a top seed on Centre Court at Wimbledon! Another comfortable hold to 15 for the Canadian who hasn't offered a single break point since the opening game of the match.

2pmIvanovic challenges a late call on the baseline but HawkEye shows that it was indeed out.

Bouchard 6-3 *1-0 IvanovicBREAK! As in the first set, Bouchard has broken at the first time of asking. It's poor from Ivanovic as she frames an easy backhand into the net.

1.47pmIvanovic looks up to her box for support after a tame drop shot doesn't make it over the net. She has to pick it up here.

Bouchard *3-1 IvanovicBetter from Ivanovic as she holds to love to get on the board.

1.39pmThe sun breaks through the clouds at Wimbledon. We're expected to have a third dry day in a row at SW19. Yippee!

1.38pmWHO? Some of you may be wondering who young Miss Bouchard is. She is a Canadian 19-year-old playing in her first senior Wimbledon. She knows her way around the grass here though as she won the junior title 12 months ago. She is currently ranked at a career-high 66 in the world and is Canada's top woman.
