He just said in the post-match interview that he was only sore, but that it should be okay. According to him it didn't even hamper his movement. Hard to believe after seeing him play though.

It's Donald Young time! Go Dolan! Also Petkovic notches a double bagel win
Ah alright. Yeah he definitely didn't seem right. Hope he can shake it off.
Curious to see how Dimitrov does today and this week. He's been trash all year, and he's defending semi points here. Could be rough if he goes out really early.

#6 Safarova lost the first set. Alison Riske is always a tough out on grass.

Enjoyable first day so far with Hewitt's goodbye being its defining moment. I remember being a huge fan of his back in 2002 - loved his aggressive attitude and relentless play. Shame his body never held up.
Hantuchova was awesome in coming from a break down to blast Cibulkova away 7-5, 6-0 - looking forward to her match with Serena in R3, who took a good few games to find her rhythm against the spirited qualifier Gasparyan. Bencic was pretty fortunate that Pironkova pulled up with a thigh injury after edging the first set. The level of tennis between them towards the end of the third set was still exceptional, and Bencic did well to hold her nerve and close out.
Liam Broady coming from two sets down to beat Matosevic will be the big British story of the first day. It was a great win, but Matosevic was about as bad a front runner as you'll ever see. No wonder he's nicknamed "Mad Dog".

Goodbye old man.
Crazy though, Hewitt is only 6 months older than Federer.

Remember when Janowicz was in a wimbledon semi final and one set up against Murray?
She fills it out pretty well doesn't she

I just have a bad feeling his career will be plagued with injuries like so many big men are. He's still growing too....

Welp, play is suspended due to darkness. The #1 female Briton will have to wait until tomorrow to finish her match

weird decision. she had all the momentum, but they were told they'd have to turn off hawk eye due to the lack of light if they continued.
Him and old man Haas winning today makes me happy.

Thanks for the day1 recap, i tried watching but missed a lot.
Hantuchova has been around so long but she still fights hard and is very talented. Impressive staying power.

Dude is one of those players that needs the right coach and serious attitude change. He could and should have been a future top ten, now he's just wasting his career away. The new Gulbis.
Really sad about Hewitt. I was hoping he'd cling on to R2 to get retired by Djokovic on centre court, as befits a champion, but I guess in a way losing a thrilling five-setter very closely much before he should is the story of Hewitt's career, so I suppose there's a certain symmetry to it.

Was watching Kumiko Nara (Japan) come back against Magda Linette (Poland) on Court 8 via the BBC iPlayer, only for the Pole to pull up injured at 3-3 in the decider, call the trainer and retire in tears after trying a couple of serves serving at 3-4. Really sad end to her Wimbledon. Good win for young Nara though! Through to face
Kvitova next round.
Muller/Tsonga's been a good match. Lots of excellent serving and volleying from Muller and Tsonga's moved very well across the back of the court. One set all, a tie-break each, and no hint of a break in the third. Shame Muller lost his nerve in the first set breaker or he'd be 2-0.

She lost 1 point on her own serve. Which was a double fault in the last game of the match.

This really gets on my wick, especially now umpires are too afraid to give him time penalties after that sunt he pulled with Layani.

Nadal didn't look great and his opponent is a horrible grass court player.

Looks like a guy playing well enough to beat the lower ranked players but nowhere near good enough to give the likes of Murray a close match. It's been the story of his season so far, and defined his clay court season. I'm hoping he comes into some kind of god mode during this tournament. I'm hoping for him or Murray for the title. I suppose Federer as well would be nice. So would Stan or Tsonga, actually. Basically most people who aren't Novak Djokovic. Sorry Novak fans, I've never really warmed to him. Even despite his lovely, warm and graceful runners-up speech at the French.

He didn't play badly, it's just you're not going to beat Groth if you don't have a good RoS and Sock doesn't.

Great win from Heather Watson, saving three match points and dealing with Caroline Garcia's massive serve to make it through. She also completed my accumulator which just won me £65 (from £10 stake), so that might have something to do with my excitement.

I'll never understand how Bouchard received so much attention on this forum. Her game, even at her best, is really ugly.

It is, but for a while she was backing it up with results.
