Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Wimbledon Day 2 – Gentlemen’s singles final results

Novak Djokovic got the Centre Court for his opener against Alexander Muller – and a very late start after the Zverev resumption went the limit, while No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner got No. 1 Court against Luca Nardi and was efficient.

The final Canadian to see action in singles, No. 27 seed Denis Shapovalov, had a chuntery day and chuntered himself right out of the tournament in the first round.

Among the epics were venerable old Gaël Monfils took care of his far younger countryman, Ugo Humbert, in five sets.

(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).
