The opening day at Wimbledon proved a dramatic one, not least for Novak Djokovic, who lost the first set of his encounter with Britain’s Jack Draper. But the world No 1 Serb was able to recover and claimed the next three sets to advance to the second round.
It was a day to forget for two-time champion Petra Kvitová as she fell to Sloane Stephens of the US, while world No 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered the biggest upset of the day, losing to unseeded American Frances Tiafoe.
The final and longest match of the day saw Britain’s Andy Murray survive, despite losing seven consecutive games from 5-0 up in third set against Nikoloz Basilashvili. The Scot eventually beat the 24th seed in four sets.
