Aliaksandra Sasnovich surprised Petra Kvitova on the first day of Wimbledon on Tuesday.

Petra Kvitova, the No. 8 seed and (a bit inexplicably) the favorite, was sent by Aliaksandra Sasnovich in a set of three innings.
Two-time Wimbledon champion, who made her return to tennis last year after being injured by hand during a home invasion, she felt tender. Tuesday but she was in good health and she blamed him for getting the upper hand.
"I probably did not really have a clear mind," Kvitova said after the match. "I think a little too much of what I should do, of course, the hand does not move as easily as it should be, so I'm tight, I have not moved very well no more." [19659005] Kvitova successfully defended his title in Birmingham, England, last week and fans were hoping it was a resurgence start for the 28-year-old athlete. The season was tough for Kvitova, who lost the first round in Melbourne and the third round in Paris.

Kvitova is one of four women in the top 10 to be eliminated in the first round, joining Sloane Stephens, Elina Svitolina and Caroline Garcia: the top three players (Grigor Dimitrov, David Goffin and Dominic Thiem) lost in the first round for the first time since 1998. [1965i005] Thiem, another favorite of bets and finalist of the Open de France a few weeks ago, had to withdraw to the third set against Marcos Baghdatis due to injury, but he was treated for his return earlier in the match.
It is rare for a tennis player to say that he has a record on Roger F ederer, but Feliciano Lopez can now just say that. The 36-year-old plays in his 66th Grand Slam tournament in a row at Wimbledon and, in doing so, broke the record he had equaled with Federer. The impressive series extends over 16 years and several major appearances in the quarterfinals.
He sums up his feelings perfectly, and probably how, at his press conference, after his victories over Federico Delbonis: "Wow, I'm going"

And that, my friends, could be the closest thing to the shadow of Roger Federer

No. 188 World, the next Canadian will face Ashleigh Barty in the second round, both former junior champions of Wimbledon – Bouchard in 2012 and Barty in 2011 – but that means apparently little today on the basis of this exchange of Bouchard's press conference:
[Ashleigh Barty is] another Wimbledon junior champion Is there some kind of fraternity among you?
Bouchard: No.
Do you know who the other junior champions are in the room, could you name who they are?
Bouchard: No.
Agreement
Do not you hate when you sit down to realize that this is not really yours? Ernests Gulbis feels your pain.
During his first-round win over Jay Clarke, the 29-year old … walked to what he thought was his chair during the change, there was just a little problem – this was only not really his. Clarke hilariously pointed Gulbis in the right direction.
Garbine Muguruza opened his Wimbledon title defense on Tuesday with a victory over Naomi Broady on center court. But before she had needed 90 minutes to confront her opponent, the 24-year-old girl sat for an interview with the young journalists of the tournament.
The duo asked his favorite players to floss him. 2018, all of you! It's really an adorable use of the next 60 seconds of your life.
Meghan Markle, ahem, the Duchess of Susbad, was not present for the second day in a row, but it's hard to be too disappointed with these things when Rufus the hawk is in the House. The legendary "bird scarer" was busy Tuesday morning, you know, chasing pigeons, posting on social networks and selling merch. As we do.
