–

The seeds who won – all of them, but three  – won in fairly routine fashion.

The three who went down did so unexpectedly and dramatically on this opening day of Wimbledon.

And on Canada Day, Canadian Bianca Andreescu was impressive in dispatching Jaqueline Cristian. Not so much so on the singing of O Canada. But major props for putting it out there.
