Bianca Andreescu got Centre Court for a potential popcorn match against No. 6 seed Ons Jabeur.
It was pretty gripping, although since there were only rare moments where both played their best at the same time, we can certainly look for better in what hopefully will be many more matchups.
Only one match got cancelled, an intriguing one between Russians Anastasia Potapova and Mirra Andreeva.
(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).
