Regarding his opponent, Murray said: “He’s a proper hard worker. The match will be airing on BBC as part of the broadcaster’s wall-to-wall coverage of the tournament. The day’s schedule is subject to change, so it is unlikely Murray will make an appearance until 5pm to make way for the other games on the court.

It wouldn’t be the early rounds of Wimbledon if there wasn’t a rain delay. The match is delicately poised but the rain has to clear up first. There are a few more umbrella’s coming up as the rain gets slightly heavier. The word coming out of Wimbledon is that there won’t be any play until 12:30pm at the earliest. Closing out the action will be Murray, who faces James Duckworth. Murray made it to the third round last year but was emphatically defeated by Denis Shapovalov and admitted afterwards that he was questioning his future. The US Open champion has shaken off injury concerns but faces a tricky opening match against world No 46 Alison van Uytvanck, who reached the fourth round herself in 2018.

LONDON - Novak Djokovic begins his bid to match Pete Sampras as a seven-time Wimbledon champion on Monday, with British Grand Slam title winners Andy Murray ...

The Spaniard has already collected the Australian Open and French Open this year to put himself halfway to a first men's calendar Grand Slam since 1969. Murray, the Wimbledon champion in 2013 and 2016, is unseeded this year but remains a dangerous floater in the draw. Ruud has lost in the first round on his two appearances at the tournament. In retaliation for the ban, the ATP and WTA tours have stripped Wimbledon of ranking points. After a cancelled edition due to the pandemic in 2020 and a reduced capacity tournament last year, Wimbledon returns to full house crowds for 2022. Also adding fuel to the Djokovic fire is the chance to win a fourth successive Wimbledon title and join a select group.

The third Grand Slam tournament of the year gets underway on Monday as Wimbledon prepares to welcome full capacity crowds for the first time since 2019.

As expected, the ticket prices also vary based on the date and court. This can be accessed on the app stores for both iOS and Android devices. However, if you are after last minute tickets, then spectators will once again be able to queue for tickets for same day events, after the queue was closed last year due to Covid restrictions.

Wimbledon 2022 gets underway on 27 June brimming with talking points: player bans, Djokovic chasing Nadal, Serena's return, local hopes and full capacity ...

That is not going to be the case. By reaching the final of Stuttgart, Murray's decision to not play most of the clay court season felt vindicated. Wimbledon announced record prize money for this year's tournament with the two singles champions taking home £2 million each. Wimbledon will return to full capacity for the 2022 edition - two years after it was not held for the first-time since World War 2. The decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players has divided the tennis world. The many colours and styles of Paris will give way to all-whites of London. Wimbledon 2022 is here. A slip wasn't going to be Serena's last image at Wimbledon or her tennis career and she used that as motivation. Unseeded and World No 1204, she has avoided big guns such as Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur (who she partnered in Eastbourne) and Anett Kontaveit in the first round. Djokovic, a six-time Wimbledon champion, is hoping to tick his tally of unbeaten matches at SW19 to 28 by ending a 'drought' of majors. He lost the 2021 US Open final to Medvedev, was deported from Australia in January and lost to an inspired Rafael Nadal at the French Open. She has a tough start against Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck. Djokovic, Nadal have called the decision unfair.

Wimbledon's prize purse this year is an all-time record for the grand slam.

- Round 2 – £78k - Round 3 – £120k Serena Williams’ wildcard entry brings excitement to a women’s singles which could see Iga Swiatek firmly establish herself as the world’s best player.

You're not really selling Britain as a concept here. Look, every year, the start of the Wimbledon tennis tournament is marked by an almighty queue for tickets.

This is the true spirit of Wimbledon. They queue in the sun. People queue in the rain. The woman. It’s a chance for people to indulge in the most British thing that any British person could ever do. But people have been queueing since Friday. In 2017, there were thought to be 7,000 people in the queue.

Action on the outside courts was suspended at 1140 local time (1040 GMT), with officials saying there would be no resumption before 1300.

Novak Djokovic's opening Wimbledon match against Soonwoo Kwon was briefly halted twice after two fans required medical attention in Centre Court.

She was soon able to get to her feet, but stumbled as she was helped out of the stands. But the 20-time major champion's form dropped as Kwon sensed an opportunity to fight back. The crowd opposite the umpire were trying to grab her attention by waving their arms while Kwon was serving.

The World No. 3 is chasing his seventh title at Wimbledon, a tally that would draw him level with legendary American Pete Sampras and move him within one of record-holder Roger Federer’s eight crowns. Despite that setback, Djokovic's movement around the court was sharp in his first competitive appearance on grass in 2022. He broke early for a 3-1 lead, but Djokovic settled into some rhythm of his own to reel off five consecutive games and secure the first set.

Tournament will run for full 14 days and record attendance expected after numbers cut by 50% last year.

But we can’t get all of the things that we serve at the championships from a 10-mile radius,” she said. “Like every other business, our costs are increasing across the board, so we’re having to balance that challenge. But Bolton said this was no longer necessary due to improvements in “grass court technology, care and attention”. “[This is the] first year of permanent middle Sunday, so we are expecting a record crowd because of that,” she said. This is the furthest forward in the queue we’ve ever been, number 76 and 77. Sullivan said: “We’ve camped since 6pm yesterday, it’s my ninth time and Mum’s eighth time, she’s 85.

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic defeated Soonwoo Kwon as he reached the second round of Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.

"The amount of drama that we went through there, and it takes a long time to get over something like that. "All the pressure is on Djokovic and not his opponent. "After the last couple of months, it’s understandable that he still has a little bit of rust. I still have the love and the flame for this sport still burns in me. "I couldn’t go through him, so I had to figure out a way, tactically, to get in control of the points. All my childhood dreams came true on this court and it’s an honour to play on the Centre Court at Wimbledon.

It was not a situation that was likely to panic the 20-time Grand Slam champion, however, as he chose the same schedule for five of his six title runs at SW19. He was playing flat. He was always there. “I think you can't argue with a child's honesty and pure no-filter comments, right?” said Djokovic after his 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win against Kwon on Monday. “For him anyone playing in Wimbledon is a superhero. “It was nice to be back,” said the top seed.

Andy Murray rallies past James Duckworth in four sets at Wimbledon on Centre Court to set a second-round clash against John Isner, who won a five-setter ...

The match came to an anticlimactic ending on an incorrect Duckworth challenge, but Murray showed how much it meant with several fist pumps and a big roar. But the World No. 74 dumped a double fault into the net to hand Murray the decisive advantage. "I thought I did well to rebound after the first set. Earlier this month, he returned for a week to the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time since the week of 28 May 2018. Obviously I'm getting on a bit now, so I don't know how many more opportunities I [will] get to play on this court, so I want to make the most of every time I get to come out here now.

"The last thing I expected was to come back from surgery and win two titles in a row," Berrettini said after retaining his Queen's Club crown. Rune, Musetti and Draper are third, fourth and fifth — respectively — in the Pepperstone ATP Race To Milan, trailing only Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. After winning at Stuttgart and The Queen's Club, the Italian enters Wimbledon on a nine-match winning streak. The Italian leads Garin 2-1 in their ATP Head2Head, though Tuesday's contest will be the pair's first meeting on grass. That's what I think I achieved in the last couple of weeks, to get as many matches on grass as possible. "I love the serve-and-volley game, coming in as much as I can, slicing, attacking. I said — I insisted, in fact — that I can play on this surface, and it remains one of my favourite surfaces that tennis has to offer. The fourth seed is widely regarded as one of the game's best clay-courters, so that statement is not one to be taken lightly. "People kind of doubted that I can play on grass, I think it's fair to say. A new treatment on his chronic foot injury has provided relief from pain both on the court and in his daily life. In stark contrast to Nadal, Tsitsipas played three grass-court events in the last month, saving his best for last. It's a little bit more predictable when you have the history in the weeks before."

The club kept the name even though the new primary court was no longer so central. “I just really tried to cherish every single point on there, played every point like it could have been one of my last on that court.” Victories have been much harder to come by since then, but she already had fine memories of Wimbledon after reaching the fourth round in her first appearance in the main draw last year. Of course, every time I step out there on the court, there is this goose bumps type of feeling, butterflies in the stomach.” The little stuff: The benches and desks in the Centre Court press seats have been replaced with padded chairs. “Childhood dreams were realized here in 2011,” Djokovic said of the first of his six Wimbledon singles titles.

With his long reach, huge serve and flat baseline power, he is dangerous on grass and was, like Berrettini, one of the players to watch closely in the bottom half of the men’s draw. Despite symptoms not being severe, I decided it was important to take another test this morning to protect the health and safety of my fellow competitors and everyone else involved in the tournament.” In all, five of the top 20 men were unable to play at Wimbledon because of bans, injuries or illness. Wimbledon was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic and instituted strict restrictions last year, following British government guidelines. The club said some health and safety measures were still in place. Berrettini trained on Centre Court on Thursday with Rafael Nadal, the No. 2 seed.

On the next point, Jubb missed a backhand volley, and that seemed it would be a fatal mistake. Especially towards the end of the fourth set, Jubb took control with his forehand, crushing key forehands down the line to force a decider and frustrate his opponent. And when he earned opportunities, he made the most of them. Daniel Evans, Alexander Bublik and Kyle Edmund were among those who took a look at the match, especially as it grew tighter and therefore more tense.

Nadal goes long twice and leaves Cerundolo within two points of the set. He whips a forehand across court and forced Nadal behind the baseline. Rafael Nadal has only been beaten twice from two sets to love up in his career. Cerundolo turns a backhand over the ball and again puts it out of play. The favourite in the women’s singles is World No 1 Swiatek and she opened up her championships on Centre Court with a straight-sets victory over Jana Fett. There is more Wimbledon royalty in action on day two with Williams making her long-awaited return. That’s compared to defending champion Novak Djokovic, who has 20 titles, with the six-time champion up and running after swiftly moving into the second round with a hard-fought four-set win over Soonwoo Kwon. The other finalist from SW19 last year, Matteo Berrettini, is out of the tournament after testing positive for Covid.

Matteo Berrettini has been ruled out of Wimbledon 2022 with Covid while organisers want to get players' names right.

By happenstance Dr Jenny Harries, the former deputy chief medical officer and star of UK Covid press conferences was in the Royal Box on Tuesday. It could be possible she was consulted on her professional opinion during a lengthy break in play, like when Rafa Nadal was preparing to serve, for example. Official numbers from the first day of competition recorded 36,603 on site on Monday, from a potential capacity of 42,000. To confirm: this is not what was expected when the grounds were restored to full capacity for the first time in three years.

Rafael Nadal didn't have things all his own way Tuesday, but he stepped up when needed to reach the Wimbledon second round for the 14th time.

His breakthrough run propelled the 23-year-old from No. 103 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings to No. 51. But, from seemingly down and out, the World No. 41 began to turn the tables in dramatic fashion. "It was my first match and as I know, every day is a test and today was one of these important tests. He will face Ricardas Berankis in the second round after the Lithuanian defeated Sam Querrey 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. "It's obvious that for me it's been three years without being here, without playing on this amazing surface, so very happy to be back. For me, it's always amazing playing here on this court and I can't thank everyone enough for the support."

Rafael Nadal dug deep to beat Francisco Cerundolo and reach the second round of Wimbledon on Tuesday afternoon.

"Every day is a test," said the two-time Wimbledon champion. "Some spectators think there's just no line there anymore. "It is not a surface that we play very often, especially in my case. It is business as usual at the Grand Slam this year after the tournament was cancelled due to Covid in 2020 and last year was played in front of reduced crowds.

Rafael Nadal escaped a tough first-round test and the Covid-19 chaos in his half of the draw to advance to the second round at Wimbledon.

Djokovic has said he has added motivation to win his fourth straight Wimbledon because he is not currently permitted in the U.S. to play the U.S. Open because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19. And in my case, the last three years I didn’t put a foot on a grass court, no? He said he played through the French Open because he received multiple anaesthetic injections during the tournament. Nadal has so far escaped the Covid chaos in his half of the draw that caused last year’s runner-up, Matteo Berrettini, and Marin Cilic to pull out of the draw. He is drawn to meet No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic in the final. He is now 15-0 in majors this season after winning the Australian and French Opens to increase his all-time men’s record to 22 Grand Slam singles titles.

Serena Williams was unable to summon the old magic as her Wimbledon return ended in a first-round defeat to little-known Frenchwoman Harmony Tan on Centre ...

Available to download now on - iPhone & iPad and Android The 42-year-old American is a five-time singles champion at the All England Club and won the doubles with her sister Serena on six occasions but she last played on the WTA Tour in August last year and has since been sidelined with a leg injury. The 18-year-old American is the youngest player in the singles draw and after her runner-up finish at the French Open this month, many are tipping her to go all the way at the All England Club.

Serena Williams lost in her first singles match in 364 days, outlasted by 115th-ranked Frenchwoman Harmony Tan 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 in the Wimbledon first round.

Asked if there’s any part of her that wants to play the U.S. Open in two months, she said, “That being the first place I’ve won a Grand Slam [in 1999], is something that’s always super special. Tan went up a mini break at 8-6 in the tiebreak, then served it out. This time around, even though I’m considered a favorite, I don’t feel like it as much as I did when I was 15 or even 16. I feel like I learned so much not to put pressure on now, now, now. Asked if she’s OK if this is her last memory at Wimbledon, she said, “Obviously not. “I feel like I’m a lot more relaxed than when I was considered the sensation,” Gauff said before the tournament.

Williams, who had not competed in singles on tour since withdrawing from Wimbledon last year with an injury, lost in three sets to Harmony Tan of France.

Williams served for the match at 5-4 and was two points from victory at 30-15 only to lose the next three points and her serve when she hit an unconvincing forehand approach shot that Tan slapped past her for a backhand winner. That was certainly understandable in light of her long layoff, and the crowd reacted with awkward silence at first. Tauziat understood the importance of keeping Williams out of her prime hitting zones and of keeping her on the move. She also looked as tight as piano wire, struggling to let her natural power flow and missing swing volleys and approach shots by the bunch while laboring to move laterally. It was a ragged but ultimately admirable performance as she tried to shake off the rust and solve the myriad riddles posed by Tan, who had watched Williams only from afar until their duel. But at least she can leave the All England Club with a less painful memory than what she took from last year’s Wimbledon, when she tore a hamstring after slipping in the first set of her first-round match with Aliaksandra Sasnovich, hobbling off Centre Court in great distress. She then had to navigate the tiebreaker despite the weariness in her legs and the tension in her gaze. Williams and her player box full of family, friends and team members, including her new coach Eric Hechtman, were not able to celebrate. She won two sets instead, turning what could have been a feel-good story for Williams into a narrow defeat that will repose the question of how much more professional tennis Williams intends to play. Williams dominated the second set but Tan fought back in the third while Williams’s level and energy dipped even if her fighting spirit did not. “When I saw the draw I was really scared, because it’s Serena,” said Tan, 24. Her grueling duel with Tan was a stylistic contrast that lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes.

"But today I gave all I could do. I did pretty good on maybe one or two of them, but obviously not enough." Who knows where I'll pop up."

It was the first singles match for Williams since she tore her right hamstring during the opening set of the first round at Wimbledon in 2021.

Ultimately, though, she lost to the steadiness of the daughter of Cambodian and Vietnamese parents, a player coached by 1998 Wimbledon finalist Nathalie Tauziat, and a player who improved her lifetime match record at Grand Slam tournaments to 3-6, set against that of Williams, which stands at 365-55. Wimbledon starts: The season’s third Grand Slam returns in full with big crowds, roars and a little rain. The war in Ukraine: As the tournament gets underway, Wimbledon’s Russia and Belarus ban leaves 16 of the top 100 on the outside. The match showcased her rustiness (54 unforced errors), her everlasting brilliance (61 winners) and the guttural screams that long have helped her find her inner Serena Williams. It showed her fight in the utmost when she prevailed through a monster of a 12-deuce, 30-point second game of the second set, taking on momentum there. As Tan peppered the court with drop shots as if by ancient text of how to play someone with 40-year-old legs, she forced Williams to elevate, and elevate Williams did. She lost an advantage after she led 3-1 in the third set.

Also for my game, I'm the type of player that needs to put in a lot of work to play good tennis, a lot of hours on the court, a lot of hours in the gym. “I have a great family and I will have plenty of things to do, no? I think that's, like, what makes you a champion and what makes you get to that next level, is how you figure out how to win in these tough moments. “I think I never expected honestly to be here at 40 years old competing and playing another Wimbledon, so I consider myself very fortunate. “But not just that, with my tennis as a whole. “The last few years for me personally have been tough. But at the end of the match I improved. “It's impossible to play the best every day. At the most critical moment, I think I raised my level. “When I saw the draw, I was really scared, because it’s Serena Williams; she’s a legend. Swiatek rallied back from 1-3 down in the second set and has now won her last 36 consecutive matches, equalling Monica Seles’ winning streak from 1990. Maybe a week ago I could have gave more.
