Monday afternoon at the All England Lawn Tennis Club was largely focused on the two indoor courts. Because the game operation on the outdoor courts was interrupted several times by rain showers. Defending champion Novak Djokovc did not challenge this further, the Serb traditionally opened Center Court against Korean Soon-Woo Kwon. And after a few minutes was 1:3 behind.

Djokovic won the next five games, but Kwon defended himself excellently and surprisingly equalized 6: 3. After that, Djokovic played more concentrated again, winning sets three and four 6: 3 and 6: 4. After 2:27 hours of play, Novak Djokovic's first appearance on Church Road was history.

In round two, the Belgrade seeded in first place meets either Thanasi Kokkinakis or Kamil Majchrzak. However, the Australian and the Pole fell victim to external circumstances. And could only start their match later.
