So the people have voted, and Roger Federer is still more popular than Andy Murray.

It's going with serve in the first set on Centre Court, with Martin Klizan keeping pace with Rafael Nadal. Worth remembering Nadal has won just one match at Wimbledon since reaching the final in 2011.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:18:25 PM
BRIT WATCH: Heather Watson is a break up in the first set against Ajla Tomljanovic on Court 3. She leads 3-1.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:12:56 PM
Indeed, Samantha Murray is up next on Court 1 taking on No.5 seed and 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:10:40 PM
It's time for @smurray910 to take on @MariaSharapova - good luck Sam! #BackTheBrits http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5qLZcCQAIDjOj.jpg

Another win at @Wimbledon in the books for seven-time champion Roger Federer! #ESPNTennis http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5pyHyCMAMi_-3.jpg

Regardless of that slightly limp ending, that was on the whole pretty impressive from Federer. He'll be expecting to go deep into the tournament again at SW19.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:06:11 PM
WINNER: At the sixth time of asking, Roger Federer takes match point. Paolo Lorenzi extends the match a fraction longer by challenging the winning serve, but Hawkeye proves it was indeed on the line.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:05:29 PM
And after all that, Federer will have to serve for the match at 5-3 in the third. Hardly the killer instinct from the seven-time champion.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 2:02:49 PM
A slightly farcical game in the Federer-Lorenzi match. We're on our sixth deuce and Federer has squandered four match points. What's the opposite of coup de grace?

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:58:28 PM
2002 champ Hewitt & last year's semi-finalist Janowicz will meet in the 2R after posting wins over Przysiezny & Devvarman, respectively

American @deniskudla is through to the 2nd round of @Wimbledon to face No. 10 seed Nishikori. #ESPNTennis http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5kcWtCYAAvvrd.jpg

by ESPNTennis via twitter 6/24/2014 1:52:02 PM
2002 @Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt finally able to close out his match against Przysiezny 6-2, 6-7(14), 6-1, 6-4 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5lYKgIcAAAF_P.jpg

by ESPNTennis via twitter 6/24/2014 1:51:56 PM
BRIT WATCH: Heather Watson is out on Court 3 limbering up for her first-round encounter with Ajla Tomljanovic, the current world No.53.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:51:12 PM
SEED OUT: No.28 seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez loses in five sets to Dusan Lajovic, who reached the fourth round at the French Open last month and now adds a win on his first Wimbledon appearance to that record.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:48:57 PM
Agnieszka Radwanska needed only 48 minutes to advance to the second round

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:45:02 PM
The conclusion of Lisicki's match means that Rafael Nadal is out warming up on Centre Court for his first-round match with Martin Klizan.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:36:15 PM
Federer has broken again in the third set. It's 3-0 and rattling towards its conclusion.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:34:46 PM
Caroline Wozniacki will face Naomi Broady of Britain in the second round at Wimbledon

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:32:08 PM
There are some similar mismatches in the men's draw too, of course. Roger Federer versus Paolo Lorenzi, for example. It's 6-1 6-1 after less than an hour, and will probably be done inside the next half-hour.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:30:24 PM
WINNER: Wozniacki is joined in the second round by No.4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska who has swatted Andreea Mitu aside 6-2 6-1 in 48 minutes.

Some, err, "epic" duels in the ladies' first round...

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:27:29 PM
WINNER: No.16 seed Caroline Wozniacki takes the second set 6-0 against Shahar Peer after resuming at 2-0 from overnight. She will now face Britain's Naomi Broady in the second round.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:24:13 PM
WINNER: She needed two match points to do it, but Sabine Lisicki takes the second set 6-1 and advances to the second round in just 57 minutes.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:09:53 PM
It's not going well at all for Julia Glushko in her first ever appearance at Wimbledon, never mind it being on Centre Court. She's 4-1 down in the second set to last year's runner-up Sabine Lisicki and they've only been on court 52 minutes.

Up next on Centre is Rafael Nadal. Hope he had an early lunch...

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:05:22 PM
Paolo Lorenzi has been wearing this face a lot against Roger Federer

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 1:01:39 PM
First set to Federer. He saves a clutch of break points in the seventh game of the set to take it 6-1 in 24 minutes.

Meanwhile, Michal Przysiezny might be a broken man after that epic tiebreak. He loses the third set 6-1 to Lleyton Hewitt, winning just 15 points in the process. He won 16 in the previous tiebreak!

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:57:52 PM
Some one-sided first sets going on out there. Agnieszka Radwanska has taken hers 6-2 against Andreea Mitu of Romania, Sabine Lisicki wrapped hers up 6-2 as well against Julia Glushko, and Roger Federer is serving for the first set at 5-1 versus poor Paolo Lorenzi, who has not won a match at a Grand Slam in 12 previous attempts.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:53:01 PM
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ponders what he's going to do for the rest of the day after not even dropping a point in finishing off his five-setter against Jurgen Melzer

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:48:24 PM
On Centre Court, Sabine Lisicki breaks for a second time to lead 5-2 in the first set against Julia Glushko. Three double faults by Glushko are not helping her cause.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:44:21 PM
WINNER: Chris Wilkinson's tip Kei Nishikori is through in straight sets against 6ft 8in giant Kenny de Schepper.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:42:38 PM
Paolo Lorenzi saves three break points, then gifts a fourth to Federer with a long forehand. Federer takes that fourth chance, but it's interesting to see Lorenzi so committed to serve-volley so early in the match. How might Stefan Edberg's influence change Federer's own approach on grass?

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:39:12 PM
Federer takes the court for his 1st round match. Can the seven-time @Wimbledon champ clinch another title in London? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5UuPeIQAAT6VE.jpg

by ESPNTennis via twitter 6/24/2014 12:36:51 PM
It all got a bit too much for retired ladies' champion Marion Bartoli on her return to Centre Court

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:35:46 PM
Roger Federer off and running on Court 1. Paolo Lorenzi manages to take one point, but Federer is already working his way through an array of different shots. He holds to 15 in the first game.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:33:41 PM
Meanwhile, Lleyton Hewitt LOSES a 30-point tiebreak to Michal Przysiezny. They're locked at one set each.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:28:53 PM
WINNER: Stanislas Wawrinka wins the final two games in the third set to be Joao Sousa 6-3 6-4 6-3. A mere 18 aces to nil for the Swiss, too.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:25:43 PM
An epic tiebreak is taking place on Court 3. Lleyton Hewitt and Michal Przysiezny combining for 26 points. And they're still going!

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:24:30 PM
Back on Court 2, Stan Wawrinka is a break up in the third set against Joao Sousa, leading two sets to love. He's two games away from taking his place in the second round.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:17:08 PM
Which means... it's Roger Federer time!

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:14:17 PM
DONE! Tsonga holds to love and advances to the second round. Neither player will need to shower.

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:13:43 PM
It's 40-0. All that warming up and Jurgen Melzer might not even win a point...

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:12:57 PM
Meanwhile, on Court 1, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga resumes his match against Jurgen Melzer serving for the match at 5-4 in the fifth set. This could be the shortest time on court of the day...

by Steven Saunders 6/24/2014 12:10:50 PM
Help us #WelcomeBackMarion, the 2013 @Wimbledon Ladies' Champion, as she helps do the coin toss to open Centre Court. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq5N-5AIMAANJgr.jpg

by ESPNTennis via twitter 6/24/2014 12:09:27 PM
An emotional Marion Bartoli walks out on Centre Court to perform the coin toss ahead of Lisicki-Glushko. She might not have noticed she was introduced as Maria by the Centre Court announcer...
