Results

The results of the first day are up and I'd suggest reading them at Wimbledon's website as many newspapers and other sources have merely posted the terrible messes that they had in print.

Djokovic, a top seed (4), did go on to win and will be facing Germany's Simon Greul in the second round. Sweden's Robin Soderling will also advance. He beat Rafa Nadal at the French Open, but lost to Federer in the final. The consensus is that the final round will go down to Soderling and Federer, but we'll have to watch them go through 2 more matches before it's decided. I wonder how it feels to be one of the other players, important enough to be ranked, but not enough to be talked about and foreseen as a winner. I would think it would add a psychological barrier when you go into a match and everyone is expecting you to lose. Anyways, first round continues tomorrow.
