First day of Wimbledon was full of surprises both in the men
and the ladies games.
Men
I am disappointed that Rafal Nadal is out of Wimbledon
and I think that his style of tennis will be missed in the next two weeks.
I am
hoping that Rafal will get proper treatment for his knee and only return when
he is 125% fit. There were also good routine wins for Roger Federer, Andy Murray
and Jon Wilfred Tsonga.
Women
I am not surprised that Sara Errani lost today as she does
not really have a good record at Wimbledon. Maria Sharapova won in two sets
however the first set was a real struggle for her and she seemed to be a little
irritated today and I was surprised to see her arguing with the umpire.
The all American first round tie between
Jamie Hampton and Sloane Stephens was won by Sloane Stephens who played quite
well and won the big points when it mattered.
