Wimbledon opened to sunny skies and warm conditions, a contrast to the grey skies that
have haunted the event in the past. And in the sunshine, a potential boilover was taking
place on centre court in the opening match of the Championships.
Top seed and defending champion Roger Federer was strangely out of sorts against
determined Columbian Alejandro Falla; and when Falla took the opening two sets the
tournament was looking down the barrel of a major upset. Even when Federer took the
third set, Falla continued to fight and the fourth set would see all 12 games go with serve
before a tie-break. But once Federer won the tie-break to level the match at two sets
apiece, Falla's resistance finally crumbled and Federer romped home in the deciding set.
The biggest name to bow out on opening day was Francesca Schiavone. Just a fortnight
ago she was the hero on the Roland Garros clay to take out the French Open, but the
Wimbledon grass wasn't to the Italian's advantage. Schiavone eked out a hard-fought first
set win in a tiebreak over Vera Dushevina before dropping the second set. And the third
was one-way traffic, but it was the Russian who was dominating proceedings to pull off an
unlikely upset.
Marin Cilic was also a shock loss. Never in the hunt and struggling with his form, the
Croatian went down to Germany's Florian Mayer in straight sets.
Nikolay Davydenko was given a scare, having to come from 2 sets down before eventually
prevailing over South Africa's Keven Anderson 9-7 in the 5th set.
The highlight on a good day for the Australians was the form of Peter Luczak. After dropping
the first set, Luczak fought back to take out the match in four sets. Lleyton Hewitt, Jarmila
Groth and Alicia Molik also progressed.
