Light rain at the All England Club caused a delay to the start of matches on outside courts but the Serb's contest was expected to start on time at noon (1100 GMT) thanks to the roof.
Second seed Djokovic's test against Mannarino was postponed until Tuesday after the marathon battle between Rafa Nadal and Gilles Muller concluded late on Monday.
Djokovic was due to follow Nadal on court one but the Spaniard's defeat to Muller lasted 4 hours 48 minutes and made it impossible for the Serb's match to be completed before dark.
Organisers said safety concerns meant they could not move the match to Centre Court, where play can continue until 11 p.m. under floodlights with the retractable roof closed.
