Williams continued to Wimbledon

Rus, ranked 105th in the world rankings, gave Williams more resistance than expected, but the US tennis team finally continued.

Williams has won Wimbledon seven times, but is no higher than the number 25 in the tournament. That's because Williams had a year off after she was pregnant and gave birth to a girl.

The former verdin is number 181 on the standings, but was still the seed of the Grand Slam tournament on the London grass

Sloane Stephens, fourth in the world, has already left the tournament Monday

The US has participated in the final twice in the last three years of the tournament, but she had to wear the bag on Monday in this year's edition. She smoked after losing 1-6, 3-6 against Croatian Donna Vekic

However, the Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki had no trouble moving to another round. At the Courten Center, she beat American Varvara Lepchenko (6-0, 6-3).

Wozniackis will participate in the Wimbledon tournament this year after reaching the top of the grass WTA tournament in Eastbourne. The 27-year-old Danish player has not yet succeeded at Wimbledon where he stopped the 80s.

Federer on

On the men's side, Roger Federer has never been threatened and beat Serbian Dusan Lajovic in 1. round round at Wimbledon

The 36-year-old won the first set 6-1 before taking the second set with 6-3. It has never been exciting on the grass in London when Switzerland finished with 6-4 in the third and final set.

Also, fifth seeded Marin Cilic had good control in his match. The Croatian who lost the finals of Wimbledon against Roger Federer in 2017 made a clean sweep in the fight against Yoshihito Nishioka.
