The 1st round of Men's Singles in Wimbledon 2022 was full of upsets and thrillers as top seeds kickstart the tournament in a dominant fashion.

Wimbledon 2022: The 1st round of Men’s Singles played on Monday produced a few upsets as the grass-court grand slam, Wimbledon, commenced off to a fine start. The shock of the day was when an unseeded Davidovich Fokina stunned 7th seeded Polish ace Hurkacz in a thrilling 5-setter. Elsewhere, favourites like Djokovic (1) and Casper Ruud (3) made light work out of their opponents as they walked out comfortable winners in their respective matches.

John Isner, well known for his endurance in the matches, showed the world his prowess as he starts off his campaign with a hard-fought 5-set win over unseeded French player Enzo Couacaud. Teen sensation and one of the top contenders, Spanish ace Carlos Alcaraz (5) also started off his campaign roughly as he won the match against Jan-Lennard Struff in 5 sets.
