–

Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz kicked things off on the Centre Court, as per Monday tradition.

And he played a kid the same age, who went out there not just to show up. And for a lot of it, it was pretty entertaining.

Other news: other than one or at most two sets, they got through the entire order of play on both the men’s and women’s side.

Considering there were EIGHT five-setters – four of them wins from 0-2 sets down – that’s a pretty impressive effort. Especially considering it wasn’t the kind of sky that would allow them to push it too late.
