Dominic Thiem – Stefanos Tsitsipas
In 2019, Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas faced each other in the final of the London Masters. The Austrian and the Greek meet again in the first round of Wimbledon four years later. It must be said that Thiem, a double finalist at Roland-Garros, has fallen in the standings. Now 90th in the world, the winner of the US Open 2020 is slow to regain his best level. He returned to the All England Club four years after his last appearance. He never shone in London but this is also the case for Tsitsipas. The Greek, in doubt, did not reassure in preparation (one match won out of four). He remains the favorite in a duel between two of the best one-handed backhands on the circuit. A poster that could make sparks.
The winner of the 2022 edition Elena Rybakina will start her tournament on the Center Court. Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka will play in the last rotation on this same Center Court. Previously, Andy Murray will face his compatriot Ryan Peniston. Carlos Alcaraz, world number one, will open the second day of Wimbledon on court 1 against the future French retiree Jérémy Chardy. Outsider, Daniil Medvedev begins his tournament against the Briton of French origin Arthur Ferry, son of the president of Lorient Loic Ferry.
Of Russian origin, Varvara Gracheva 22 years old has been naturalized French in recent weeks. The 42nd in the world, who has never done better than a second round at Wimbledon, is playing her first tournament as a Frenchwoman. The Moscow native, who has never made it past the second round at Wimbledon, was not spared the draw as she faces Italian Camilia Giorgi on Tuesday.
If he failed to win the title in Mallorca (defeat in the final against Eubanks), Adrian Mannarino, 35th in the world and new number one tricolor, remains a very good player on grass. Also falling for Daniil Medvedev in Stuttgart, Val d’Oisien is confident before approaching Wimbledon where it has already reached the knockout stages three times. Confirmation expected this Tuesday against Alexander Shevchenko, 97th in the world. For the second time in a row in a Grand Slam, fate placed Arthur Fils in the path of 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 has a good card to play. Son discovers the London Grand Slam, Jérémy Chardy, 36, is preparing to say goodbye to the game. tournament. His pupil Ugo Humbert will play third on the 8.
28 tons of strawberries and 7000 liters of cream
The estimated consumption during the fortnight of “strawberries and cream”, the flagship product of the venerable London Grand Slam. Many enthusiasts. Hence the abundant consumption for the fortnight…
The Queue
For the lucky ones, the Wimbledon places are distributed by drawing lots. For the less fortunate, there is another solution to get the precious sesame. You just have to be very patient and very motivated to participate in “The Queue”, a real institution of the London tournament. The ticket offices open from 8 am and only 500 tickets for the three largest courts (Center Court, N°1 and N°2) and a few hundred for the adjoining courts are distributed. And to have a good position in the line, fans of the little yellow ball meet the day before, in Wimbledon Park, transformed into a campsite for two weeks. An institution.
