The quick end for Marina Čilić, Prižmić reversed the Australian and won the match with the 4th player in the world

At Wimbledon, Croatian tennis player Marin Čilić was defeated by Russian Daniil Medvedev in the first round after just one hour and 50 minutes. Medvedev won the match 6-1, 6-2, 6-4, extending his career advantage over Čilić to 5-1. The match saw Medvedev dominate early, winning the first set quickly and maintaining control throughout. Čilić managed to fight back slightly but failed to capitalize on crucial break points. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Croatian Dino Prižmić secured a thrilling victory against Australian Adam Walton in a tightly contested four-set match. Prižmić, ranked 89th in the world, upset Walton, who was seeded higher on the ATP rankings. The match featured multiple breaks of serve and a tiebreak in the second set, which Prižmić won to level the sets at 1-1. He then took control in the third and fourth sets to advance to the second round. Prižmić will now face Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who reached the second round more comfortably by defeating Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik.

Ime suparnice doznala je Antonija Ružić tek par sati prije meča, ali to nije utjecalo na njenu performancu na Wimbledonu. Hrvatska tenisačica, koja je igrala protiv britanske zvijezde Emma Raducanu u prvom kolu, doista je doživljavala neprigodu, ali je uspjela pokazati otpornost i profesionalizam. Meč je bio prvi put u povijestu Wimbledona gdje je Ružić igrala na terenu 1, a suparnica joj je bila iznad nje u rangiranju. Međutim, Raducanu je, zbog ozljede, morala odustati od nastupa, što je otvorilo novi put za hrvatsku reprezentativku.

Raducanu, pobjednica US Opena 2021., bila je najbolja britanska tenisačica i jedina koja je kao kvalifikantica došla do trofeja na velikom turniru. Njezin odlazak iz meča bio je nepričekivan, posebno za domaćine koji su očekivali da će vidjeti njezinu igru na travi. Odluku je objavila na Instagramu, objasnivajući da je imala stres frakturu i da je liječnici preporučili prekid s forsiranjem. "Igranje na Wimbledonu, pred domaćim navijačima, mi znači sve, tako da je ovo vrlo teško prihvatiti," rekla je. Ovo je bilo neugodno iznenađenje za domaćine, koji su mislili da će imati priliku pogledati jednu od najboljih tenisačica svijeta.

Za Antoniju Ružić, ovo je bilo prilika da se pokaže kao igračka koja može privući pažnju. Iako je doznala ime suparnice tek par sati prije meča, njezina igra je bila odlična. U prvom setu, Ružić je prva izgubila servis, ali je brzo oporavila i došla do vodstva 5:2. Spasila je 'break-loptu' u devetom gemu i prvu set-loptu pretvorila u osvajanje prve dionice meča. U drugom setu, Ružić je napravila 'break' za 3:2, što je činilo da bi mogla zgotoviti posao u dva seta. Međutim, dolazi preokret, četiri uzastopna gema Semenistaje, te je odluka o pobjednici ostavljena za treći set.

U trećem setu, Ružić je pokazala izuzetnu otpornost. U prvom gemu imala je 0:40 i još jednu prednost. Sve je to Ružić izvukla, potom došla do 'breaka' za 2:0 i u sljedećem gemu spasila još dvije prilike Semenistaje za oduzimanje servisa. Bio je to prijelomni trenutak, jer je Antonia došla do prednosti 5:2. Kad je servirala za pobjedu, propustila je prve dvije meč-lopte (40:15), morala je spasiti još jednu 'break'-loptu, ali je treću priliku za okončanje meča iskoristila. Ovo je bilo ključno za njezinu pobedu.

Antonija Ružić i u drugom kolu čeka Latvijka, ali će to biti znatno teži ispit jer se radi o Jeleni Ostapenko, bivšoj pobjednici Roland Garrosa (2017.) i wimbledonskoj polufinalistici (2018.), te trenutačno 31. tenisačici na WTA ljestvici. Ostapenko je također trebala tri seta za plasman u drugo kolo, a svladala je Britanku Harriet Dart (WTA - 152.) sa 6:3, 3:6, 6:4. Preostale dvije hrvatske predstavnice će svoje mečeve prvog kola odigrati u utorak. Petra Marčinko će protiv Amerikanke Sofije Kenin igrati na terenu 11, a tenisačice bi na terenu trebale biti u podne po srednjoeuropskom vremenu. Donna Vekić će protiv Amerikanke Ashlyn Krueger igrati na terenu 15, a njihov je dvoboj posljednji na rasporedu, četvrti od 12.00 sati.

Djokovic came to the first match of Wimbledon in a jacket.

Novak Đoković, seven-time Wimbledon champion and widely regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time (GOAT), played his first match at this year's Wimbledon tournament against Chinese player Yibing Wu.

Unpleasant surprise for the hosts: Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon, Ružić will get a new opponent

British tennis player Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her first-round match at Wimbledon against Croatia's Antonija Ružić due to an injury.
