We take the same and start again. Among the posters of the first round, amputated Tuesday by the rain, there is a rematch of Roland-Garros between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Arthur Fils. For the second time in a row in a Grand Slam, fate has indeed placed the great French hope on the road to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Spaniard had dominated the great French hope in four sets (6-1, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3) at the same stage at Roland-Garros. Faced with a Davidovich Fokina, a priori much less comfortable on grass than on earth, the 19-year-old Ile-de-France player has a good card to play for his very first Wimbledon.

“If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same…” It is at the entrance to the Center court where this famous quote from Rudyard Kipling is engraved. During the ceremonial entrance to the mythical court, players have time to meditate on this legendary quote…
In 2023, the prize money of a loser in the first round of Wimbledon is close to 60,000 euros. A tidy sum for many players. In 1970, prize money had nothing to do. We won almost nothing after a defeat in the first round. And the Italian Nicola Pietrangeli, a great football fan, preferred to forfeit his first match against Dennis Ralston, in order to stay in Mexico to support Squadra Azzura in the World Cup final. A final finally lost against Brazil Pelé 4 to 1…
