So thank the lord for the closed roof on Centre Court and Court No 1, and discussions of the temperature and ball-flight therein. And by the looks of it, rain, even if “mostly cloudy” is the forecast on the official website. It would have been reasonable to assume that such a scenario would suggest a significant change at the top of the sport but Djokovic and Nadal are the main protagonists atWimbledonfor another year. He held his serve for the first game against Andujar, and gets chance for an early break, and one he gobbles up. It’s heavy, and the covers are on across the campus. That’s saved by an overhead by Andujar, but who double faults to hand over another, makes a bizarre, failed Hawkeye challenge on his second serve, then clunks a forehand into the ether to hand over the first set.

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.
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.
Djokovic's pursuit of a 21st grand slam begins with a four-set victory over Kwon.
WIMBLEDON — For a period it was barely possible to identify which of the players opening on Centre Court was the six-time Wimbledon champion. To be temporarily boxing the ears of the game’s greatest exponent on this surface was an unexpected bonus. An 80th victory in SW19 was now just a set away.

But, of course, the sensation coming back on the court with everything that happened post-Australia, particularly first few tournaments, was different. Then there was the train wreck in Australian then Nadal went and won the thing. After a cancelled edition due to the pandemic in 2020 and a reduced-capacity tournament last year, Wimbledon has returned to full crowds for 2022. The Australian Open men’s doubles champion slammed down 17 aces to four and won 80 per cent of points on first serve in a polished display of ball striking. The 26-year-old recovered from a tight first set to win in three (7-6(5) 6-2 7-5) against Kamil Majchrzak of Poland. It is a crazy time. It was a different feel. The 19-year-old fired 30 aces and 73 winners in a dazzling display of shot-making to win 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4. He is a human being. “I try to keep it together with the team in such way where we stick to the routines that we know that work for us. “In terms of my motivation on the court, fulfilling my everyday chores, trying to win more titles and be one of the contenders for more Grand Slams, it hasn’t changed much, to be honest,” he said. It is unprecedented times for him.”

I feel like I even gained and won matches to prove myself on this level. I do feel like I deserve to be in this level. “I do feel more confident. Coverage of select matches commences on 9GEM from 7.30pm (AEST) each night. Struggling a bit before with the confidence. “I’ve worked hard a lot. After his career high, he’s had hard times – but there’s still hope at 30,” the American great said. Purcell and Inglis pushed their opponents all the way, however. Right now I don’t feel the traces of that, so to say, any more. I thought they were very fair to me.” I move on. I felt support,” Djokovic said.

Live updates and highlights as Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray take to Centre Court on day one of Wimbledon 2022.
The first point goes to Kwon as Djokovic fires into the net but two strong serves from the Serb put him back in control. Kwon misses an easy forehand winner at 0-15 and again should do better the next shot after Djokovic came to the net. Djokovic is just starting to find a bit of rhythm now and has Kwon doing all the running. A wild backhand from Djokovic gives Kwon the first game. Djokovic is now returning more serves than Kwon would like. Djokovic is left doing the splits as Kwon gives him the eyes and fires a forehand winner to go 30-0 up. A massive serve forces Djokovic to return long and Kwon has the set! Kwon hits another unforced error and Djokovic is on the board in the third set. After Djokovic takes the opening point in a crucial service game for Kwon there's a brief stoppage due to an incident in the crowd again. Errors from Kwon gives Djokovic two break points and the Serb duly obliges. Djokovic hits a forehand beyond the base line at the next point. Kwon remains patient and focused though with a winner at the net to hold.
With the tournament at capacity for the first time in three years, the pair electrified an otherwise genteel atmosphere.
He looks good too, loose and limber and comfortable in his movements, with some of that old bounce, the choppy little steps, the slice, the shambling dashes to the net. Victory made it a perfect, if slightly tentative, start for the return of Wimbledon’s full house. The standard dipped for a while. There was a different kind of energy in seeing Raducanu win here, a straight‑sets victory against the experienced Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck that might have been a lot more awkward. For anyone with a sense of scale the story to this point isn’t disappointment, or distracting perfume deals (she really could have had a lot more of those). It is instead one golden run where the cards all fell right, a feat that may well remain a one-off for her and for anyone else. There has been an eagerness to cling to these pegs of the pre‑pandemic summer: Glastonbury, Wimbledon, queueing endlessly for a low-cost airline seat. Wimbledon is a place to luxuriate, to suck the sweetness out of the summer, to feel lush and flush and woozy and sated. There were gasps and coos as she unfurled a lovely coiled backhand, then sighs and murmurs as she netted a forehand. Murray drew the loudest roars later in the evening. The hill was beautifully lush and green in between the rain. In the shop under No 1 Court they are selling novelty oversized tennis rackets for £600. Are we really in that place? We have the plastic strawberry punnet, the cargo short, a stagey politeness.
Some more notable first-round matches are set for Tuesday. No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek will take on Jana Feat from Croatia. Meanwhile, Serena Williams is not seeded ...
- Emma Raducanu - Ons Jabeur - Jannik Sinner - Casper Ruud No players of Russian or Belarusian nationality are allowed to play in the tournament. No. 10 seed Emma Raducanu advanced to the second round after beating Alison Van Uytvanck in straight sets (6-4, 6-4).

Novak Djokovic became the first player to win 80 matches at all four Grand Slams as he made a successful start to his Wimbledon title defence.
He’s a brick wall, so you … have got to beat him. I’m probably not the favourite, let’s put it that way. It feels like he slides out there and he can cover sort of defensive balls on grass that not many people can. He’s won the last how many years? Right now I don’t feel the traces of that, so to say, any more. I felt support,” Djokovic said of the Centre Court crowd. He’s not going to beat himself. I thought they were very fair to me. I play tournament by tournament. I move on. “I try to keep it together with the team in such way where we stick to the routines that we know that work for us. They supported both players.
