The second round of Wimbledon action will get underway today, with Novak Djokovic among the main attractions on Centre Court.

The Serbian is the red-hot favourite to claim the men's singles title this year, but he will have to navigate his way past the unpredictable Thanasi Kokkinakis if he is to do so.

Here is everything that you need to know about Djokovic's Wimbledon opponent.

Ranked 79th in the world rankings, Thanasi Kokkinakis is no stranger to being in front of a sell-out crowd at a major championship, having claimed the Australian Open doubles title alongside fellow countryman Nick Kyrgios earlier this year.

The 26-year-old has also enjoyed success at Wimbledon, picking up the boy's doubles title alongside Kyrgios in 2013, as well as finishing as the boy's singles runner-up at the Australian Open and US Open in the same year.

Kokkinakis arrives in the second round in fine form, having eased to a straight-sets victory over Kamil Majchrzak in round one.

A strong first serve and ability to go toe-to-toe from the baseline will help Kokkinakis to cause some problems for Djokovic when they meet on Wednesday afternoon, but he may like the firepower to find a way past the world No.1.
