Novak Djokovic took matters into his own hands after the grass on Centre Court took longer than expected to dry as rain showers blighted day one at Wimbledon. Djokovic, who is bidding for a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon title, saw his first-round match against Pedro Cachin suspended after the first set due to rain. Ad As it was only spitting it didn’t look like the rain would cause a long delay.
Wimbledon will celebrate Roger Federer's achievements at the All England Club with a special ceremony on Centre Court on the second day of the championships on Tuesday. The Swiss eight-time champion, who announced his retirement last September, will visit the scene of some of his greatest triumphs and be honoured before the start of play. "I'm pleased to say that Roger will be with us tomorrow and we will have a special celebratory moment on Centre Court before play starts just to honour him as the man holding the most gentlemen's singles titles here at Wimbledon," All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said on Monday.
As one of the biggest tournaments on the tennis calendar, Wimbledon always has plenty of star power. Over the last 20 years, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams have been three of the biggest names to play at the Grand Slam. Ad But this year things look a little different.
Novak Djokovic brings the curtain up at Wimbledon on Monday as he starts his bid for an eighth title and all-time record equalling 24th Grand Slam triumph. The 36-year-old Serb, who has won the last four titles at the All England Club, opens proceedings on Centre Court where he has not lost in 10 years. Unheralded Pedro Cachin of Argentina, the world number 67 and making his main draw debut at the tournament, plays the role of unwitting fall guy.
Novak Djokovic says he is still "hungry" for Grand Slam glory as Wimbledon rivals queue up to hail him as the "greatest" and his achievements as "phenomenal".
