Wimbledon 2022

Live updates and highlights as Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray take to Centre Court on day one of Wimbledon 2022.

The first point goes to Kwon as Djokovic fires into the net but two strong serves from the Serb put him back in control. Kwon misses an easy forehand winner at 0-15 and again should do better the next shot after Djokovic came to the net. Djokovic is just starting to find a bit of rhythm now and has Kwon doing all the running. A wild backhand from Djokovic gives Kwon the first game. Djokovic is now returning more serves than Kwon would like. Djokovic is left doing the splits as Kwon gives him the eyes and fires a forehand winner to go 30-0 up. A massive serve forces Djokovic to return long and Kwon has the set! Kwon hits another unforced error and Djokovic is on the board in the third set. After Djokovic takes the opening point in a crucial service game for Kwon there's a brief stoppage due to an incident in the crowd again. Errors from Kwon gives Djokovic two break points and the Serb duly obliges. Djokovic hits a forehand beyond the base line at the next point. Kwon remains patient and focused though with a winner at the net to hold.

Britain's Emma Raducanu thrilled the home fans on Monday as she secured a comfortable opening victory over Alison van Uytvanck at Wimbledon 2022.

But, of course, the sensation coming back on the court with everything that happened post-Australia, particularly first few tournaments, was different. Then there was the train wreck in Australian then Nadal went and won the thing. After a cancelled edition due to the pandemic in 2020 and a reduced-capacity tournament last year, Wimbledon has returned to full crowds for 2022. The Australian Open men’s doubles champion slammed down 17 aces to four and won 80 per cent of points on first serve in a polished display of ball striking. The 26-year-old recovered from a tight first set to win in three (7-6(5) 6-2 7-5) against Kamil Majchrzak of Poland. It is a crazy time. It was a different feel. The 19-year-old fired 30 aces and 73 winners in a dazzling display of shot-making to win 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4. He is a human being. “I try to keep it together with the team in such way where we stick to the routines that we know that work for us. “In terms of my motivation on the court, fulfilling my everyday chores, trying to win more titles and be one of the contenders for more Grand Slams, it hasn’t changed much, to be honest,” he said. It is unprecedented times for him.”

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.

US Open champion Raducanu defeated the Belgian 6-4, 6-4 to reach the second round at SW19 in her first Centre Court appearance.

Coupled with the huge attention on the US Open champion’s homecoming and a tricky opponent, this was a major test, but Raducanu passed it impressively by claiming a 6-4, 6-4 victory. A couple of fizzing backhands, coupled with a poor volley and double fault from Van Uytvanck, gave Raducanu the first break in the seventh game. But there were no early causes for alarm as Raducanu threw herself into serves and groundstrokes, missing two break points in the opening game but then saving three on her own serve as the first two games lasted a gruelling 17 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

"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."

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.

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.

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."

Kyrgios rants about 'snitch', sends ball out of stadium in meltdown amid early shock vs world No.219.

It was just the second time in his career Kyrgios lost his first set of the tournament at Wimbledon. Just three games into the match Kyrgios ranted to the umpire, declaring a line judge was a “snitch” and had “no fans”, before finding himself in difficulty serving later in the set. Dropping his first set to the 219th-best player in the world wasn’t in the plans.

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.

Rafael Nadal live score: The French Open champion gets his Wimbledon campaign underway against Francisco Cerundolo before Serena Williams makes her return.

Cerundolo gets two points of his own but Nadal finishes the game with a neat volley at the net. Nadal saves the first with a volley at the net but Cerundolo slams home the next. Nadal gains control thanks to back-to-back errors from Cerundolo as the Argentine then hits another shot long. Nadal double faults the first point and is then given the runaround by Cerundolo to fall 0-30 behind. Two big serves put Nadal two points to the good before he overhits a forehand down the middle. Cerundolo gets break point but Nadal stays calm with a big serve down the centre. Nadal opens his body up to hit a lovely forehand winner as Cerundolo can only watch on, feet rooted to the grass. Cerundolo does well to avoid becoming a victim of the serve and volley by making the drop shot and snatching a point off Nadal at 15-40. Cerundolo hits a pinpoint forehand winner to go 0-30 up before Nadal matches him with one down the line which the crowd love. Nadal responds with a forehand winner to save the first break point but finds the net once more and Cerundolo breaks again! Nadal then hits a drop shot which Cerundolo makes but steers his shot into the net. Cerundolo then hits one into the net and Nadal has three break points.

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.

Serena Williams, seven-time Wimbledon champion, lost her first match at a Grand Slam in a year. Harmony Tan, the 115th ranked player in the world, ...

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.

The American was first to break in the decider but Tan levelled at 3-3. There’s definitely a lot of motivation to get better and play at home,” the 40-year-old American said afterwards, brushing off retirement talk. “When I saw the draw, I was really scared. “I am just playing for right now. 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. I thought if I can win one game, two games, that would be really good for me.” “I’m so emotional now,” said Tan. “She’s a superstar. The All England Club said in a statement that protocols remained in place to minimise the risk of infection. But from 4-2 down the second seed found an extra gear, winning the next four games to seal the match in a little over three and a half hours, roared on by the Centre Court crowd. Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, broke after a mammoth second game of the second set and went on to level the match 6-1. Serena Williams was defeated in her first singles match for a year on Tuesday, going down 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) to unseeded Harmony Tan in the first round of Wimbledon. Seven-time champion Williams was cheered as she walked onto Centre Court for the evening match, but she looked rusty and was broken in her first service game.

French debutante wins marathon as Roland-Garros champions pass opening tests at SW19.

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.

Thanasi Kokkinakis, who faces top-seeded Novak Djokovic in a second-round singles clash, is one of nine Australians scheduled to compete on day three at ...

The Special Ks are teaming up at Wimbledon for the first time since scooping the boys’ doubles title in 2013. This is Kyrgios’ first appearance in a Wimbledon gentlemen’s doubles draw and Kokkinakis’ third (and first since 2017). World No.16 Peers is making his 10th appearance at Wimbledon and looking to better a 2015 finals effort. The 30-year-old Aussie is making his first appearance in a Wimbledon doubles draw. Saville, making his third doubles appearance at the All England Club, and Dutch partner Middelkoop carry momentum into this match after reaching the Eastbourne final last week. His partner Giron, a 28-year-old American, is also making his doubles debut at the tournament. Australia’s current top-two ranked singles players are teaming up on the doubles court for the first time. The world No.99, who is making his seventh Wimbledon doubles appearance, is teaming with 25-year-old Spaniard Martinez this fortnight. Thompson, making his fifth Wimbledon doubles appearance, is teaming up with Portugal’s Sousa for the first time this season. World No.3 Djokovic is currently on a 22-match winning streak at the tournament, where the 35-year-old also owns a 15-1 career record in second-round matches. “If you do get the opportunity to step up against one of the greatest of all time, it’s a dream really,” Kokkinakis said. He’s a brick wall, so you … have got to beat him.
