WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SLAM MAKES: At his last major in Paris, much of tennis was thrilled Alexander Zverev had finally won a Slam. Today at Wimbledon, much of tennis can't wait for him to get off Centre Court so Serena can play.

Wimbledon expected a coronation for defending champ Sinner. Instead they got a scare from "the other Serbian" Miomir Kecmanovic who played rope-a-dope 10s./But Jannik came off the ropes, fired 31 aces & won in 5 sets to avoid being 1st defending champ 2 lose in 1st rd. since '03.

Miomir Kecmanovic played safe rope a dope tennis. But Sinner is no dope & his Serbian foe is no Nole. Despite a bloodied foot, a knee that buckled & losing an epic scramble point, defending champ Sinner comes back from 2 sets down to prevail 4-6, 6-, 6-7, 6--2, 6-3. @Wimbledon
