This is the first little hiccup at the start of Wimbledon. The first match on the Center Court between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Argentinian Pedro Cachin was interrupted by light rain after only one set.

While play resumed much quicker on Court 1, also benefiting from a roof, it took a long time for Djokovic and his opponent to resume play. The Serb, after winning the first set 6–3, wiped some parts of the court himself with his towel. All with a smile. Good humor was also in order when he addressed his clan: “Blow, we need everyone’s helpmonde ! »
