Wimbledon 2023 results: Djokovic and Swiatek Advance to Second Round

– Defending champion Novak Djokovic and women’s top seed Iga Swiatek both advanced to the second round of Wimbledon on day one, Tuesday (4/7/2023).

The opening match of Wimbledon was marred by rain. As a result, Djokovic’s match against Argentine Pedro Cachin was stopped for more than an hour after the first set.

This is because the field grass does not dry even though the field roof has been closed. Djokovic, who had helped dry the court with his towel, finally managed to win 6-3 6-3 7-6 (4).

Djokovic’s victory continued his excellent record of not losing on Center Court at Wimbledon since his loss to Andy Murray in the 2013 final.

In the women’s sector, Swiatek managed to overcome the resistance of Chinese tennis player, Zhu Lin. The Pole cruised to a 6-3 6-1 win in one hour and 21 minutes.

Furthermore, in the second round, Swiatek will face Sara Sorribes Tormo.

Meanwhile, three of the host’s favorite tennis players, Jodie Burrage, Liam Broady and Jan Choinski also made it through. Burrage defeated Caty McNally 6-1 6-3 to earn her first Grand Slam main draw win.

In the second round Burrage will face 11th seeded Russian Daria Kasatkina. Meanwhile Broady also won in straight sets, beating Constant Lestienne of France 6-1 6-3 7-5.

Broady will also have a tough second round match against fourth seed Casper Ruud, who was troubled by French qualifier Laurent Lokoli despite winning 6-1 5-7 6-4 6-3.
