Where to Watch Live
The game is set to start at 1pm BST. Live coverage of the game will be on BBC One.
Overview
Murray made easy meal of his first opponent Mikhail Kukushkin, beating him in straight sets, 6-5 7-6 6-4. He is expected to repeat that feat against Haase, who is unseeded in this tournament. Murray will be looking to dispel the ghosts of his failure to proceed into the finals of the French Open, where he was beaten by eventual winner Stanislav Wawrinka.
The Briton will be looking to replicate his 2013 success, when he defeated Roger Federer in the finals to claim his maiden Wimbledon title, but has failed to come close since. Murray needs to dispel the lack of concentration with which he suffered in the first game, which almost cost him the second set.
Meanwhile, Haase will need to put in an incredible performance if he has to do well in this play-off, having failed to beat Murray in a competitive game since the last time he did six years ago in Rotterdam. He comes into the second round, having had the better of Alejandro Falla in four sets, 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-2. He did come close in the 2011 US Open, taking the game to five sets but the Briton has grown as a player since then and is unlikely to let his guard down this time around.
