Let's see if Nadal could actually win his first round match this time around.

Early morning EST in the USA will be great! Williams, Nadal, Federer and Bouchard!

I know they've done it because they usually have the defending women's champion on Centre Court but I don't think they needed to put Lisicki on there. Sharapova or Roger would have been better, in my opinion. Though overall it doesn't matter.

I do think Nadal will win although Klizan is exactly the type of player who can cause him serious problems if he zones in. Rafa dropped a set to him at Garros last year.

Scouting for other potential upsets: De Schepper beat Gulbis on grass a couple of weeks back, he could trouble Nishikori. I'd expect Mahut to beat Granollers on grass too. Not really an upset that one but still would be an unseeded player knocking out a seed.

Roger started the 2012 campaign on court 1 as well. Hopefully it works out this year too.

I merged the two threads for Day 2.

Granoolers is up a set on Mahut. Stan, Hewiit, Giraldo, Nishikori all up a set in their matches.

 

[herios]

Stan nd Giraldo won their second set as well

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nice....game? Tsonga wins the last game to love, moves on.

 

[isabelle]

Happy that Tsonga finally won, it wasn't a walk in the park

 

[herios]

Wawrinka nd Giraldo both through in straight sets

 

[El Dude]

I know it is only Lorenzi, but I like what I've seen from Roger so far. He has that smooth, relaxed quality of vintage Roger.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger up 3-0 in the first. He is playing without a forehand so far. And this is the slowest I have ever seen court 1 play. I may be wrong.

 

[herios]

Nishikori and Kubot won also in 3 sets, Kyrgios in 4

 

[Riotbeard]

Some good routine wins from the seeds, except Jerzy who is in a 5th set...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Lorenzi looks a bit like a young Steve Buscemi, no?

Roger takes the second set 6-1 as well.

Nadal and Klizan walking on to the center court.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Strong start from Klizan. Gets 3 BPs.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nadal gets out of it.

 

[TsarMatt]

Nick Kyrgios and Hewitt get the wins. Impressive for the former. Grass really matches his playing style.
