Day 1 Results
Men’s Singles
Novak Djokovic vs Kwon Soon-woo
Top seed Novak Djokovic overcame a dogged challenge from 81st-ranked Korean Kwon Soon-woo and his own grasscourt rustiness to reach the Wimbledon second round with a 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory on Monday.
The defending champion, bidding for his fourth Wimbledon title in a row, looked out-of-sorts at times against Kwon, who brought a lively mixture of tennis, from booming forehands to delicate drop-shots, onto Centre Court.
Casper Ruud vs Albert Ramos-Vinolas
Casper Ruud won a match at Wimbledon for the first time on Monday with a straight-sets victory over Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Third seed Ruud, who was runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the French Open earlier this month, came through 7-6 (7/1), 7-6 ((11/9), 6-2.
The Norwegian had fallen at the first-round stage in his previous two visits to the All England Club. He will face either France’s Ugo Humbert or Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina for a place in the third round.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Hubert Hurkacz
Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina recovered from a mid-match meltdown to win a final-set tiebreak against Hubert Hurkacz on Monday and knock out the Wimbledon seventh seed and last year’s semi-finalist in the first round.
The 7-6(4) 6-4 5-7 2-6 7-6(8) victory was the first at the grasscourt Grand Slam for the 23-year-old Davidovich Fokina after his opening round defeat on debut last year.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Jan-Lennard Struff
It might not have been the workout Carlos Alcaraz was hoping for as he nursed a sore elbow but the Spaniard showed why he is considered to be the next big thing in tennis as he toppled Jan-Lennard Struff 4-6 7-5 4-6 7-6(3) 6-4 in the Wimbledon first round on Monday.
Jannik Sinner vs Stan Wawrinka
Jannik Sinner secured his maiden victory at Wimbledon as he defeated Stan Wawrinka 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the first-round on Monday. The victory also doubled as his first tour-level victory on grass.

Emma Raducanu vs Alison van Uytvanck
Britain’s teenage U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu lived up to her star billing on her first appearance on Wimbledon’s Centre Court by overcoming the awkward challengeof in-form Belgian Alison van Uytvanck 6-4 6-4 in the first round on Monday.
Having come into the tournament on the back of a wretched run of injuries and with barely any match practice on grass it was an impressive display by the 19-year-old.
Ons Jabeur vs Mirjam Bjorklund
Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur proved far too strong for Mirjam Bjorklund of Sweden, sweeping past the qualifier 6-1 6-3 on Monday to book her spot in the second round of Wimbledon.
After reaching a career-high ranking of second, 2021 quarter-finalist Jabeur served strongly and dominated from the baseline against the 125th-ranked Bjorklund who made her debut at the grasscourt Grand Slam this year.
Marin Cilic Pulls out after testing Covid positive
Former finalist Marin Cilic has pulled out of Wimbledon after testing positive for COVID-19, the Croatian said on Monday.
