Everyone was pointing to how many matches Federer has won at Wimbledon and how few matches (like 0) that his opponent, Albert Ramos, had won.   Given the effort Federer took to win matches at Roland Garros, he must have been thrilled giving up only 3 games.

Defending champ, Novak Djokovic, fell an early break to veteran, Juan Carlos Ferror, but quickly got back on track to a 63 63 61 rout.

The highly-talented but highly-erratic Ernests Gulbis finally got past a first round with an upset of 2010 finalist, Tomas Berdych, in three tiebreaks.  Gulbis fired 30 aces in a closely fought match where Berdych fought off match points, but ultimately couldn’t push the match to a fourth set.

David Nalbandian, who recently lost in the finals of Queen’s, was not able to make an impression against 8th seeded Janko Tipsarevic, who won their first round match in straight sets: 64 76 62.

John Isner tried to improve his record at Wimbledon against Alejandro Falla, but fell in 5 sets: 64 67 36 76 75.  Falla wil face the winner of the Mahut-Lorenzi match which is split at 2 sets all and called due to darkness.

Denis Istomin upset Andreas Seppi 8-6 in the fifth.  Seppi had been having a pretty good season despite a loss to Andy Roddick at Eastbourne.  Igor Andreev beat British hopeful, Oliver Golding, in four sets.  Ryan Harrison beat former quarterfinalist, Yen-Hsun Lu, in four sets.  James Blake took one set off of Benjamin Becker, but flailed to a 4 set loss.  Donald Young also lost in 4 sets, to Russian Mikhail Youzhny.  Former quarterfinalist, Richard Gasquet, lost only 6 games in a straight set win over Tobias Kamke.

Fognini beat serve-and-volleyer, Michael Llodra, in four sets.  He plays Roger Federer in the next round.  Ryan Sweeting won his first round match when opponent, Potito Starace, retired in the second set.

Nadal, Murray, Tsonga, and Roddick play tomorrow.
