Get It Started! Novak Djokovic Starts Wimbledon With A Win

Andy Murray says fellow Briton James Ward can test Novak Djokovic in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday.

The world number one – fresh off the back of securing a career grand slam – did not have it all his own way, but ultimately he was too strong for his plucky opponent in a 6-0 7-6 (7-3) 6-4. “It’s really special to feel this tradition and history, to come back to the cradle of our sport”.

Meanwhile, Federer will continue his chase for an elusive 18th Grand Slam title.

Missing his first Grand Slam in 17 years – the French Open – was worth it to Roger Federer to be fit and confident for another Wimbledon.

Judy said: “Jamie has had a great year and a half really”. I see still lots of room for improvement, things that I can work on. “I think, in particular, throughout my whole career (I) have been able to learn a lot to come back a much better player”. He started playing better in the second set and it got close – it was solid performance from me though. Mannarino has won six of his last eight matches on grass.

He moves seamlessly on two legs but it’s not the same story on two wheels, with the 29-year-old reportedly banned from riding his bicycle on the Wimbledon grounds after a near crash with a supply vehicle in the lead-up to the year’s third major, according to the Daily Mail and The Sun.

The world number two’s mother explained that the return of Ivan Lendl to the two-time Grand Slam winner’s team provides the reassurance of having someone who has been there before.

Williams, 36, is the oldest woman in the main draw of this year’s tournament and first won Wimbledon in 2000 when Vekic was just four. “It’s inevitable to face this kind of sensation as a top player, being expected to do well and to go as far as last four at least in the tournament or finals”. “The first set, there were some hairy moments there, down some set points, but I guess that’s where experience sets in”.

Ivanovic said she was suffering a right wrist injury and won’t play again until the Rio Olympics. The 6-0, 7-6, 6-4 victory sends the Serb, who’s on a quest to win all four tennis majors in a calendar year, into the next round of Wimbledon 2016.

Milos Raonic, the Canadian who is seeded No. 6 and faces Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain on Monday, brought seven-time major champion John McEnroe aboard.

On court Novak Djokovic is taking tennis to extraordinary new levels with his single-minded obsession with winning; off it the Serbian is more than happy to share power.

“There is no guarantees that, even if I was fresh, I would have won the match”. Kevin Anderson, a South African seeded 20th, lost later in five sets to Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. But Murray’s last two Wimbledon campaigns have ended in disappointment – a quarterfinal loss to Grigor Dimitrov in 2014 followed by a straight-set demolition by Federer in the semifinals 12 months ago.

Judy told the Press Association that Murray’s experience of playing at Wimbledon over many years means he know what to expect.
