[It’s] very cool to see him still going with the injury that he’s had on his hip. And after this year’s Australian Open, the 30-year-old had a procedure on his hip. He went under the knife twice in 2018 to ease more foot and elbow problems, before having work done on his shoulder once again in 2020.

Tournament will run for full 14 days and record attendance expected after numbers cut by 50% last year.

But we can’t get all of the things that we serve at the championships from a 10-mile radius,” she said. “Like every other business, our costs are increasing across the board, so we’re having to balance that challenge. But Bolton said this was no longer necessary due to improvements in “grass court technology, care and attention”. “[This is the] first year of permanent middle Sunday, so we are expecting a record crowd because of that,” she said. This is the furthest forward in the queue we’ve ever been, number 76 and 77. Sullivan said: “We’ve camped since 6pm yesterday, it’s my ninth time and Mum’s eighth time, she’s 85.

Novak Djokovic's 2022 Wimbledon hopes were given a stern opening test on Monday by Soonwoo Kwon, but the defending champion stayed resolute to hold off the ...

The World No. 3 is chasing his seventh title at Wimbledon, a tally that would draw him level with legendary American Pete Sampras and move him within one of record-holder Roger Federer’s eight crowns. Despite that setback, Djokovic's movement around the court was sharp in his first competitive appearance on grass in 2022. He broke early for a 3-1 lead, but Djokovic settled into some rhythm of his own to reel off five consecutive games and secure the first set.

With Monday's win, Novak Djokovic is now the first man or woman to have won at least 80 matches at each of the four majors.

“It was a little bit of a scratcy match from Joker...but you gotta think what’s happened to start the year with Djokovic has had a little bit of an effect on him,” Gilbert said. I expect he will get better, he will have to get better “It was really difficult to go through him so I had to figure out a way to tactically get in control of the point. And I think he feels an immense pressure to win this championship.” It wasn’t easy, I had to put a lot of variety in the game. “For some really bizarre reasons he’s had one of the most unsettling years in the history of tennis,” Shriver said on air.

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic defeated Soonwoo Kwon as he reached the second round of Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.

"The amount of drama that we went through there, and it takes a long time to get over something like that. "All the pressure is on Djokovic and not his opponent. "After the last couple of months, it’s understandable that he still has a little bit of rust. I still have the love and the flame for this sport still burns in me. "I couldn’t go through him, so I had to figure out a way, tactically, to get in control of the points. All my childhood dreams came true on this court and it’s an honour to play on the Centre Court at Wimbledon.

Serena Williams returns after a year out, gunning for the 24th Grand Slam singles title that has eluded her since 2017. Serbia's Novak Djokovic was due to open ...

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic was due to open play on Centre Court on Monday as he seeks to defend his title, win a 21st Grand Slam crown and close the gap on Rafa Nadal who has a record 22. The 40-year-old Swiss is recovering from a knee injury and has not played since losing to Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals a year ago. For a start, Roger Federer, the king of the lawns with a record eight men’s singles titles, is absent for the first time since winning the junior event in 1998.

Novak Djokovic got his Wimbledon title defense off to a winning start on Monday, but he had to work hard for his 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory against world No.

He will face either Thanasi Kokkinakis or Kamil Majchrzak in the second round. The top seed's victory against Kwon was perhaps not as routine as some expected. On the first day of action at Wimbledon, Djokovic opened play under the roof of Centre Court in a bid to win his fourth straight title at SW19 and first grand slam of the year.

Novak Djokovic, a six-time champion at the All England Club, beat Kwon Soon-woo 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Centre Court, his 80th victory at the grass-court ...

After Djokovic finished, Emma Raducanu took to Centre Court for the first time. With the roof closed because of sporadic rain, Kwon was able to pick his spots with his booming forehand. The boy was soon helped off court. With it, he became the first man or woman to win that many matches at each of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. “Other than this year that Wimbledon made a change so you could practise before the tournament starts, it was always coming out on the untouched grass. Djokovic has won the last three Wimbledon titles and is going for his seventh overall. The 19-year-old British player, who won the U.S. Open last year, was playing at the All England Club for the first time since retiring from her fourth-round match a year ago. It’s really a unique and special feeling in our sport.” “I felt support,” said Djokovic, who may be banned from playing at the U.S. Open and again at the Australian Open because he is unvaccinated. Despite that issue, the crowd on Centre Court was happy to see him back at Wimbledon. Djokovic was playing for the first time since losing to Rafael Nadal last month in the French Open quarterfinals. “It’s always very unique match to play as the defending champion, first on the grass,” said Djokovic, who won his 22nd straight match at the tournament.

Reigning US Open champion Emma Raducanu made an impressive Centre Court debut by defeating Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck on opening Monday at Wimbledon.

By contrast, this was Van Uytvanck's 15th match on grass this summer after lifting titles in Surbiton and Italy. Available to download now on - iPhone & iPad and Android 4/12 2/7 3 3

US Open champion Raducanu defeated the Belgian 6-4, 6-4 to reach the second round at SW19 in her first Centre Court appearance.

Coupled with the huge attention on the US Open champion’s homecoming and a tricky opponent, this was a major test, but Raducanu passed it impressively by claiming a 6-4, 6-4 victory. A couple of fizzing backhands, coupled with a poor volley and double fault from Van Uytvanck, gave Raducanu the first break in the seventh game. But there were no early causes for alarm as Raducanu threw herself into serves and groundstrokes, missing two break points in the opening game but then saving three on her own serve as the first two games lasted a gruelling 17 minutes.

Marino was serving for the match in Game 10 of the third set, but didn't get a match point opportunity as the Polish qualifier picked up her fourth break to tie the set 5-5. But he was unable to defend his title in Melbourne this year after being deported because of Australia's vaccination protocols.

It was not a situation that was likely to panic the 20-time Grand Slam champion, however, as he chose the same schedule for five of his six title runs at SW19. He was playing flat. He was always there. “I think you can't argue with a child's honesty and pure no-filter comments, right?” said Djokovic after his 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win against Kwon on Monday. “For him anyone playing in Wimbledon is a superhero. “It was nice to be back,” said the top seed. For him, everyone in my team is playing in Wimbledon.

Ces temps-ci, Novak Djokovic écrit une page d'histoire presque à chaque fois qu'il remporte un match. Lundi, c'est exactement ce que le Serbe, première tête ...

Le finaliste à Roland-Garros, Casper Ruud, a remporté son match sur le court 12. Après la victoire de Djokovic, Emma Raducanu s'est présentée sur le court central pour la première fois. À part cette année où Wimbledon a effectué un changement nous permettant de nous entraîner avant le début du tournoi, c'était toujours sur du gazon intact. Djokovic a remporté les trois derniers titres à Wimbledon et vise son septième au total. Du coup, il est devenu le premier joueur, homme ou femme, à remporter autant de matchs à chacun des quatre tournois du Grand Chelem. «C'est toujours un match très unique de jouer en tant que champion en titre, d'être le premier à fouler le gazon, a confié Djokovic, qui a remporté son 22e match consécutif à ce tournoi.

Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu all got their Wimbledon 2022 campaigns off to winning starts on Centre Court. The Sporting News was on hand to ...

The first point goes to Kwon as Djokovic fires into the net but two strong serves from the Serb put him back in control. Djokovic is left doing the splits as Kwon gives him the eyes and fires a forehand winner to go 30-0 up. Djokovic is just starting to find a bit of rhythm now and has Kwon doing all the running. A massive serve forces Djokovic to return long and Kwon has the set! Kwon then opens his body up to smash a forehand into the corner to level it up at 30-30 and another drop shot gives him set point. Kwon hits another unforced error and Djokovic is on the board in the third set. Kwon is back in control as the Serb hits another easy forehand into the net and then gifts another point with a poor overhead smash. Kwon remains patient and focused though with a winner at the net to hold. Duckworth gets to it but he's out of position for the next shot and Murray gets to 30-0. Murray then hits a forehand into the net and it's an early break for the Australian. Murray takes advantage of Duckworth's shot trickling over the net with a nice drop shot that takes it to 30-30. Duckworth hits the net to allow Murray back in at 30-30 and his aggressive style pays off as he breaks again.

Rafael Nadal opens his bid for a third Wimbledon title, while recent ATP Tour champions Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini look to extend their ...

"The last thing I expected was to come back from surgery and win two titles in a row," Berrettini said after retaining his Queen's Club crown. Rune, Musetti and Draper are third, fourth and fifth — respectively — in the Pepperstone ATP Race To Milan, trailing only Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. After winning at Stuttgart and The Queen's Club, the Italian enters Wimbledon on a nine-match winning streak. The Italian leads Garin 2-1 in their ATP Head2Head, though Tuesday's contest will be the pair's first meeting on grass. That's what I think I achieved in the last couple of weeks, to get as many matches on grass as possible. "I love the serve-and-volley game, coming in as much as I can, slicing, attacking. I said — I insisted, in fact — that I can play on this surface, and it remains one of my favourite surfaces that tennis has to offer. The fourth seed is widely regarded as one of the game's best clay-courters, so that statement is not one to be taken lightly. "People kind of doubted that I can play on grass, I think it's fair to say. A new treatment on his chronic foot injury has provided relief from pain both on the court and in his daily life. In stark contrast to Nadal, Tsitsipas played three grass-court events in the last month, saving his best for last. It's a little bit more predictable when you have the history in the weeks before."

He slipped and fell to the grass. He recovered to take that set, then dropped the next. He got broken early and trailed 3-1 as he began his bid for a fourth consecutive championship and seventh overall at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Andy Murray rallies past James Duckworth in four sets at Wimbledon on Centre Court to set a second-round clash against John Isner, who won a five-setter ...

The match came to an anticlimactic ending on an incorrect Duckworth challenge, but Murray showed how much it meant with several fist pumps and a big roar. But the World No. 74 dumped a double fault into the net to hand Murray the decisive advantage. "I thought I did well to rebound after the first set. Earlier this month, he returned for a week to the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time since the week of 28 May 2018. Obviously I'm getting on a bit now, so I don't know how many more opportunities I [will] get to play on this court, so I want to make the most of every time I get to come out here now. There are few players who understand what Andy Murray has been through to return to the tennis court and compete at the highest level, but James Duckworth, who in January underwent hip surgery, is one of them.

One hundred years after the opening of Centre Court, it's a season of change at the All England Club, what with the barring of Russian players and a new set ...

The club kept the name even though the new primary court was no longer so central. “I just really tried to cherish every single point on there, played every point like it could have been one of my last on that court.” Victories have been much harder to come by since then, but she already had fine memories of Wimbledon after reaching the fourth round in her first appearance in the main draw last year. Of course, every time I step out there on the court, there is this goose bumps type of feeling, butterflies in the stomach.” The little stuff: The benches and desks in the Centre Court press seats have been replaced with padded chairs. “Childhood dreams were realized here in 2011,” Djokovic said of the first of his six Wimbledon singles titles.

The All England Club had a first day unlike any since 2019, what with the pandemic nixing 2020 and forcing 50 percent capacity for the opening of 2021.

The war in Ukraine: As the tournament gets underway, Wimbledon’s Russia and Belarus ban leaves 16 of the top 100 on the outside. Then the crowd cheered Struff at great length as he tried to hold on, but then a well-placed, 97-mph, second-serve winner coaxed an error and ended it, Alcaraz applauding Struff as Struff walked out. At times it felt like one of those occasions when the opponent, in this case 32-year-old Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany, seemed more of an inconvenience. He’s one of the multiple, viable interests for British tennis fans who used to have to throw it all on Tim Henman a generation ago. “Yes, because I’ve experienced something that I’ve never experienced in my life in Australia. So this post-Australia period of next several months was challenging emotionally for me because of a lot of different factors.” He said the “sensations coming back on the court with everything that happened post-Australia, particularly the first few tournaments, was difficult. Well before he reached his present-day ranking of No. 12, he got seeded No. 29 last year at Wimbledon, which meant he got into the seeded locker rooms, no? They happened for Carlos Alcaraz, the 19-year-old Spanish sensation, and they were deep and big and throaty under the roof. All the possibilities came back into the air, in a manner that rings with the words of Ons Jabeur, the woman ranked a heady No. 2, when she said, “I’m someone from Tunisia; nobody even believed that I could be here, and here I am talking to you [reporters].” Right now, I don’t feel the traces of that, so to say, anymore. People watched from over the walls of the adjacent court, with one dangling a glass of rosé that looked well north of unpleasant. Over by little Court No. 17 early on, tucked in a row of courts sandwiched between the two monsters (Centre and No. 1), native Marylander Frances Tiafoe played his 25th major tournament, somehow. WIMBLEDON, England — Wimbledon resumed unmitigated life Monday for the first time since 2019 and the last echoes of “Roger, Roger!” ricocheting around Centre Court from a soaring men’s final way back then.

By the time Djokovic got Kwon under control, three hours had passed and the crowd was in need of relief. When Raducanu emerged onto Centre Court 10 minutes ...

“I’m going to play like a kid who just loves playing tennis,” Raducanu said over the weekend. The important thing is that she cemented one positive memory on the most recognizable surface in tennis. Maybe the “hopefully” is a verbal tic. The British tabs have spent weeks playing up Raducanu’s Wimbledon – only her second – like it’s her last chance to win this thing. It speaks to a young person who senses keenly – maybe too keenly – what’s at stake. The crowd was back and the air was lighter. After the worst of it was over on Monday, Raducanu likened it to her gap year (only, I suppose, more painful and more profitable). The all-clear was announced on Saturday. Between points, she wanders off to the back wall to have a little chat with herself. It’s another to do it on a cool late afternoon at a place where they serve champagne for breakfast. Which is not to say that she won with much elan. By the time Djokovic got Kwon under control, three hours had passed and the crowd was in need of relief.

"If they stand four or five meters behind the baseline, then why would you not do that to try to bring them forward if they're not comfortable returning there? Certainly, more and more players have started returning from further, further behind the baseline now to give themselves an advantage to return. "I don't know why people have ever found it potentially disrespectful," he said.

She has reached the championship match of the major in 11 of the 20 times she has competed. This year, Serena Williams is competing at the Wimbledon Championships for the 21st time in her career. Serena Williams has been the most powerful and prolific server in the women’s game for the last two decades, but she especially elevated the shot to new heights in her 2012 Wimbledon run. Serena is without a doubt one of the greatest singles players in tennis history, but she has also had a prolific doubles career. The Wimbledon victory also earned her the world number one ranking for the first time in her career. The pair advanced to the semifinals of the event in a tune-up before Wimbledon 2022, the season’s third major.

Matteo Berrettini, last year's Wimbledon runner-up, withdrew before his Wimbledon first-round match Tuesday due to COVID.

When the name of the 2022 men's singles champion is etched on to the Wimbledon honours board in 12 days time some might argue an asterisk should be inserted ...

It is the first time since the ATP rankings were introduced in 1973 that neither of the world’s top two players are competing at Wimbledon and the first time at any Grand Slam since the 1999 Australian Open. The rest of the field is very much wide open now with third seed Casper Ruud, who registered his first ever Wimbledon win on Monday, hardly regarded as a serious threat to the top two. With Medvedev’s compatriots Andrey Rublev (ranked eighth) and Karen Khachanov (22nd) also absent, and injury ruling out Frenchman Gael Monfils, seven of the world’s top 23-ranked players were missing from the first round.

La favorite a porté sa série de victoires à 36 en éliminant la Croate issue des qualifications Jana Fett au premier tour du tournoi de Wimbledon.

Après avoir dominé le début du match, Swiatek tirait de l'arrière 3-1 dans la deuxième manche avant qu'elle ne renverse la vapeur et ne gagne les cinq jeux suivants.
