What a great day it's been - incredible matches, no rain episodes....oh, I forgot, there won't be any more rain dramas this year at Wimbledon. Yeah, disappointing I know, but the roof on centre court is there to stay.
Somehow Wimbledon without the yo-yo-like running of players from courts to locker rooms doesn't sound familiar enough.
But what the hell, there is still so much more to be enjoyed at this posh Grand Slam; like the angelic look the white attire puts on our competetors. Its marvelous indeed.
Anyway, first day of the Slam, not so many casualties, am afraid. Except for James Blake, maybe. I must say am quite disappointed of the American early loss, but am not that surprised.
Serena Williams slided into the second round in straight sets, and so did Maria Sharapova and Elena Dementieva.
Danielle Hantuchova upset the cute British teen and wild card, Laura Robson, but ofcourse in three hard sets. Laura, last year's Wimbledon juniors champion took the first set, 6-3 in less than half an hour. You can ofcourse imagine the Home fans cheers when she took the first set. Everybody watching the match believed the young tennis star was going to win, for Danielle was hampered with unforced errors and nerves.
It all turned sour for the British when she failed to break the Slovakian babe at 5-4 in the second set.
Hantuchova went ahead and took the deciding set, 6-2 and winning the match.
Laura Robson might have gotten out in the first round, but everybody knows she is a star. Just give her a couple of years.....
No chance for anybody to halt the Feds Express in the first round. The Swiss cruised into the second round in straight sets.
Jeo Wilfred Tsonga and Novak Djokovic both had to go into fourth sets to put their opponents in their places.
Soderling, the man who upset Raphael Nadal at the French, also made up through.
Lets see what tomorrow brings!
