–

WIMBLEDON – The doubles gets under way, with top teams like Krejcikova-Siniakova and Mektic-Pavic starting their campaigns.

It’s a slog for the men, as Wimbledon still has the best-of-five format for men’s doubles. In previous years, some bad weather in the early part of the event ended with the first-round matches being shortened to best-of-three halfway through the round.

Hopefully that won’t happen this year.
