For a complete list of results, you can go to Wimbledon’s website.
Center Court
Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [3] vs. Kateryna Kozlova (UKR) - Round 1, 8am
Twenty-seven-year-old Agnieszka Radwanska has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the world. She’s making her 11th appearance at Wimbledon, where she lost to Serena Williams in the finals in 2012, and fell in the semis in 2013 and 2015. She made it to the semis at the Australian this year, losing to Serena, and lost to Tsvetana Pironkova in the 4th round at Roland Garros.
Kateryna Kozlova, 22, is making her Wimbledon debut, something that might’ve happened last year had she not been serving a 6-month suspension for a doping violation. At last year’s US Open, she fell in the first round. Earlier this month she cracked the top 100 for the first time in her career, making it to #97.
Novak Djokovic (SRB) [1] vs. Adrian Mannarino (FRA) - Round 2, 8am
Novak Djokovic defeated James Ward in their opening round match 6-0 7-6 6-4, despite Ward’s impressive serve, which topped out at 127 MPH, and earned him 10 aces. Djokovic bested him in nearly every other facet of the game.
Adrian Mannarino, who’s playing in just his second Wimbledon, advanced on Monday by defeating hometown boy Kyle Edmund 6-2 7-5 6-4, as Edmund’s 38 unforced errors eventually caught up to him. Mannarino made it to the 4th round at Wimbledon in 2013, his best showing in eight previous Grand Slam events. He most recently fell in the 2nd round at the French this summer.
Roger Federer (SUI) [3] vs. Marcus Willis (GBR) - Round 2, 8am
Roger Federer, runner-up at the last two Wimbledons, struggled to get past Guido Pella in the first round on Monday, winning 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-3) 6-3. Federer made 8 more unforced errors, than Pella, but hit more than twice as many winners, 51-23.
Britain’s own Marcus Willis, ranked 772nd in the world, beat Ricardas Berankis, ranked #53, 6-3 6-3 6-4 to become Wimbledon’s latest hometown sensation. Willis made it to the tournament as a qualifier, and is now the lowest ranked player to make it to the second round since 1998. Before Monday, he’d won about $300 playing tennis, and now he’s already assured of another $75,000. Just a few years ago he was so fat that his nickname was “Cartman,” in honor of the “South Park” character, and his own mum has admitted “He certainly likes a party… I would totally have understood if he had wanted to do something else, if he’d been a dustman I would have been proud of him.” At his post-match press conference he confessed he’s “still living with my parents at home, living the dream.” Willis, 25 and born in Slough, just 20-odd miles down the road from Wimbledon, is playing in his first ever Grand Slam event.
