The first round of singles isn’t done yet.
But the doubles began, on both the men’s and women’s fronts.
The only Canadian in action was Gabriela Dabrowski, who debuted with partner Aleksandra Krunic but just got four games before exiting.
Also in action – John Isner and Jack Sock, on a wild card. Yeah.
(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).

Speaking of doubles, no real fan of Canadian tennis can ignore the bombshell mixed doubles news that can be seen from the draw. Dabrowski and Bopanna are back together again!!!
This after Bopanna dumped our girl in the 2018 AO mixed!! After they had won the 2017 French mixed doubles together. (I think that was the first GS victory for any Canadian). So we Canadian tennis fans need to know if there was an apology issued, and when, and if Gaby is feeling good about it and if they are now good to go!!!!!
I think you forgot a guy who won a WHOLE bunch of Grand Slam titles, not that long ago … And another guy who won one.
You are right… first GS for Canadian female I believe…
