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.

Novak Djokovic survived a scare against South Korea's Kwon Soon-woo before reaching the Wimbledon second round on Monday.

"That was not easy. Norrie was gifted a break to love in the third game of the third set and moved to the brink of victory at 3-5 on the Anjujar serve but failed to convert three match points before heavy rain forced the players off court. The 24-year-old Korean broke Djokovic's serve in the fourth game of the second set and went on to win it with a drop-shot and a big serve.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated Kwon Soon-woo 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to enter the second round at Wimbledon 2022.

The top-seed Serbian then won the next two games 6-3, 6-4 to become the first player, man or woman, to win 80 matches at each of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The South Korean also had more winners, 31-30. Historiography under previous governments can, and should, be contested.

With the tournament at capacity for the first time in three years, the pair electrified an otherwise genteel atmosphere.

He looks good too, loose and limber and comfortable in his movements, with some of that old bounce, the choppy little steps, the slice, the shambling dashes to the net. Victory made it a perfect, if slightly tentative, start for the return of Wimbledon’s full house. The standard dipped for a while. There was a different kind of energy in seeing Raducanu win here, a straight‑sets victory against the experienced Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck that might have been a lot more awkward. For anyone with a sense of scale the story to this point isn’t disappointment, or distracting perfume deals (she really could have had a lot more of those). It is instead one golden run where the cards all fell right, a feat that may well remain a one-off for her and for anyone else. There has been an eagerness to cling to these pegs of the pre‑pandemic summer: Glastonbury, Wimbledon, queueing endlessly for a low-cost airline seat. Wimbledon is a place to luxuriate, to suck the sweetness out of the summer, to feel lush and flush and woozy and sated. There were gasps and coos as she unfurled a lovely coiled backhand, then sighs and murmurs as she netted a forehand. Murray drew the loudest roars later in the evening. The hill was beautifully lush and green in between the rain. In the shop under No 1 Court they are selling novelty oversized tennis rackets for £600. Are we really in that place? We have the plastic strawberry punnet, the cargo short, a stagey politeness.

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.

WIMBLEDON fans are furious at the number of empty seats after people queued for days for the chance to watch the tournament.

And Murray can't understand why people find it "disrespectful" when it's a viable tactic if the opportunity presents itself. Please feel free to get in touch with me as I work if you have a story or tips to share! “It looked like she wanted to be out there, that’s what it boils down to. Good morning from London. I’m Tara Fair, I’ll be bringing you all the latest developments on Wimbledon 2022. The flurry of complains comes after people queued for days for the chance to see their favourite players compete. “That's the best part. I think that's what got her over the finish line. Monday saw day one of Wimbledon 2022 kicking off on the BBC with the venue back at full capacity for the first time since COVID-19. During a much-anticipated match involving two-time champion Andy Murray and Australia's James Duckworth, viewers noticed swathes of empty seats. Sometimes I suppose it could get tiring to opponents to hear Rafa say ‘I didn’t feel my foot, I couldn’t even feel it!’" User @CromwellStuff added: "Who watched some of Wimbledon? Now considering people were queuing for days for tickets, the place looked empty? The line for Monday's entry is believed to have started at 6pm on Friday. WIMBLEDON fans are furious at the number of empty seats after people queued for days for the chance to watch the tournament.

Eurosport tennis expert Barbara Schett has spoken about how impressed she has was with Emma Raducanu in the Brit's first-round win at Wimbledon against ...

“So Garcia, she serves very aggressively, she likes to come to the net so Emma Raducanu is going to have to adapt. I think that the more matches she plays at Wimbledon the more relaxed she’s going to feel. It was great to see the way she handled herself out on the court.

Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek are all in action on Day 2 of Wimbledon 2022, which has also set up a cluster of ties that look far too close ...

- 1978 - Martina Navratilova Casper Ruud is No.3 seed after his wonderful run to the French Open final, but there's a huge question mark over his grass-court prowess. If last month's French Open was anything to go by, the Wimbledon seeds had better keep their eyes on the prize. The monthly package comes with a 7-day free trial (opens in new tab).

Wimbledon's opening day has resumed at 13:09 local time on Monday in London following an interruption due to rain.

Centre Court and Court 1 at the All England Lawn Tennis Club are both fitted with a roof, meaning their schedules will commence as planned regardless of the weather. After delay of one hour, 29 minutes, British No. 1 Cameron Norrie resumes his first-round clash against Pablo Andujar leading 6-0, 0-1. The opening day’s play at Wimbledon has resumed at 1:09 p.m. local time on Monday in London following an interruption due to rain.

Djokovic's pursuit of a 21st grand slam begins with a four-set victory over Kwon.

WIMBLEDON — For a period it was barely possible to identify which of the players opening on Centre Court was the six-time Wimbledon champion. To be temporarily boxing the ears of the game’s greatest exponent on this surface was an unexpected bonus. An 80th victory in SW19 was now just a set away.

Britain's Andy Murray got his Wimbledon 2022 campaign off to a fine start as he overcame Australia's James Duckworth late on Monday.

Swiatek is not the defending champion but is replacing Ash Barty in the tradition slot on Centre Court.

Auger-Aliassime meanwhile has a track record of poor results at grand slams, and this might well be one of them. Mikhail Kukushkin is extremely experienced and might just be the kind of player Brooksby does not want to see at around 12.15pm on Court 10. Muchova picked up an impressive seven of eight wins against top-20 players last year and knocked Maria Sakkari out of the French Open. And I just didn’t even think about it.” “I don’t know. “It was hard to chill out and to not do anything because I felt like adrenaline was up.

Follow all the action from SW19 on day two of the grass-court grand slam.

“To play on Centre Court and get a win first time, it’s amazing. Murray will need to play better, especially from the start, but there were encouraging signs throughout that he is indeed fit enough for the Championships after arriving in SW19 on the back of an injury scare. You knew you had seen this fight before and although Murray tempered the baying crowd by reminding them of how grateful he is to still be enjoying these opportunities at all, the exciting part is there could be a lot more to come. It was another night on Centre Court where Andy Murray played all the hits, and even had room for a new trick. “I always wanted to achieve, always wanted to be in this level, always wanted to inspire players from my country, from my continent. Now every time I go back, I’m just going to have a great first experience. Today marks the return of Nadal, back for the first time since 2019 and fresh from opening up a lead in the race to finish with the most men’s grand slam titles with 22. The favourite in the women’s singles is World No 1 Iga Swiatek and she opens up her championships on Centre Court against Jana Fett, taking the traditional slot on the first Tuesday of play after defending women’s champion Ash Barty’s sudden retirement. It’s quite tough for her because for elderly people it’s most important to have a routine and, right now, there is lots of bombing and shooting going on in Odessa, in my hometown. “Of course, I’m still very, very sad about the situation that is happening right now and knowing how many people have lost their lives because of the invasion,” Svitolina told CNN Sport. “It makes me very sad. Her being half Romanian means a lot also for the Romanians. The seven-time Wimbledon champion is back in singles action after cruelly being forced to retire from her first round match at SW19 last year and the 40-year-old, third up on Centre Court, looks to ignite her comeback from a hamstring injury when she takes on Harmony Tan.

Next is women’s singles with Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic) against Jasmine Paolini (Italy). First up is the men’s singles with Matteo Berrettini (Italy) playing Cristian Garin (Chile). First up will be women’s singles where world number one Iga Swiatek (Poland) will play Jana Fett (Croatia).

Yulia Putintseva (seeded 27) is under way against Alize Cornet on Court 10 and it’s 2-2 in the first set. Raducanu, the 19-year-old US Open champion, performed admirably on her Centre Court debut to see off Alison Van Uytvanck. Murray dropped a set against James Duckworth before finding his rhythm and progressing to a second-round date with John Isner. The Italian reached his first grand slam final at the All England Club last summer, losing in four sets to Novak Djokovic, and has been the form player on grass this summer. They will be back to play the third and final set. There has been an eagerness to cling to these pegs of the pre‑pandemic summer: Glastonbury, Wimbledon, queueing endlessly for a low-cost airline seat. Sometimes, the full length net is used for singles matches (such as the Katie Swan-Marta Kostyuk singles match) but there have to be ‘sticks’ in the tramlines to make sure the net height is the same. The big names are yet to head out to the show courts but there are many singles matches under way at SW19 and I’ll keep you updated if any stories develop in them. Sakkari has been in good form this year and will be looking to make it to the second week, something she hasn’t done before. Tennis nets have different lengths depending on their use – shorter lengths for singles (with the posts in the tramlines) and full length for doubles. Maybe a reader who plays tennis at a decent standard might be able to write in and tell us if it has any bearing on performance. But then why not have all nets full length width and then you just have to change the sticks. Britain’s Paul Jubb has wasted no time in making the most of his moment in the spotlight against Kyrgios on Court 3.

Rafael Nadal opens his bid for a third Wimbledon title, while recent ATP Tour champions Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini look to extend their ...

"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."

Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn from Wimbledon after testing positive for COVID-19. “I am heartbroken to announce that I need to withdraw from Wimbledon due ...

“I have had flu symptoms and been isolating the last few days. Thank you for the support” Berrettini did not play for three months after undergoing hand surgery in late March, but the Italian has been unstoppable since returning to Tour just three weeks ago.

The 2021 finalist Matteo Berrettini became the second men's player in 24 hours to withdraw from this year's Championships due to a positive Covid-19 test.

The dream is over for this year, but I will be back stronger.” After the recent outbreak the All England Club will review their current measures on Tuesday. “As a major event we have and continue to work in conjunction with the UK Public Health Security Agency and our Local Authority,” said a spokesperson for the All England Club earlier on Tuesday. After being out for nearly three months due to undergoing surgery on his finger, the Italian had returned at the beginning of the grass season and immediately won nine matches in a row, with titles in Stuttgart and Queen’s.

Serena Williams is returning to the court at for Wimbledon in 2022, marking her first Grand Slam appearance since she had to retire from her opening match ...

Williams, 40, made the semifinals at the 2020 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open before injuries reared their ugly head, hindering her at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2021, where she suffered her first first-round exit in a Grand Slam since 2012. Williams missed the US Open to conclude 2021 -- along with the Australian and French Opens in 2022 -- as she seeks her record-tying 24th Grand Slam win. Serena Williams is returning to the court at for Wimbledon in 2022, marking her first Grand Slam appearance since she had to retire from her opening match at Wimbledon last year due to injury.

Follow Wimbledon live today with our minute-by-minute coverage.

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.

Kyrgios was unhappy with some fans on a packed and raucous Court Three and demanded they be removed from the stadium even as early as the first set.

But it was a lot of fun." "You know who you are." Nick Kyrgios came out on top in a fiery Wimbledon five-setter on Tuesday and told rowdy critics in the crowd: "That one's for you -- you know who you are."

Two lines on a Covid test proved devastating for Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday morning, but for at least half a dozen players in the bottom half of the men's ...

When Nadal went 0-40 down in the fifth, a decisive set was suddenly an odds-on shot, but again it was the jolt he needed to roar back into life. And if the 23-year-old enjoyed a little good fortune in game five to retrieve an early break of serve – Nadal slipped at 15-40 but still did almost enough to save the point – it was no more than he deserved. Several exceptional rallies edged Nadal’s way to get him to deuce and a brilliantly-improvised sliced forehand earned him the only break point he needed in the game.

Wimbledon 2022 is officially underway. The All England Club is already seeing some exciting action, including the returns of Rafael Nadal and Serena ...

- Emma Raducanu - Maria Sakkari - Iga Swiatek - Jannik Sinner - Carlos Alcaraz - Rafael Nadal - Novak Djokovic No players of Russian or Belarusian nationality are allowed to play in the tournament. No. 8 seed Jessica Pegula got her first round match against Donna Vekic moved to Wednesday. Earlier on Tuesday, No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek took care of business against Jana Feat from Croatia, winning 6-0, 6-3. On the women's side, Serena Williams took the court for the first time since the 2021 installment of Wimbledon. She had not played since last June when she suffered an ankle injury during her opening round match at the All England Club. Her match against Harmony Tan was a close one, but Tan walked away as the winner going 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) after three hours and 10 minutes on the court. Wimbledon 2022 is officially underway.

Twelve months ago, Williams quit her Wimbledon first-round match in tears after suffering an injury and she had not played singles tennis since until ...

When I was young, I was watching her so many times on the TV. "When I saw the draw, I was really scared. Williams, far below her imperious best and apparently lacking fitness, bounced back, breaking in the fourth game to level at 2-2, buoyed by a supportive crowd at the All England Club.
