About this programme

Sue Barker introduces live coverage from the show courts on day one at the All England Club, featuring first-round singles matches, including Novak Djokovic v Juan Carlos Ferrero, Roger Federer v Albert Ramos and Venus Williams v Elena Vesnina. This is arguably the most prestigious and eagerly anticipated tournament on the calendar, with Grand Slam glory awaiting the players who can win seven matches over the next fortnight. Djokovic will get proceedings under way on Centre Court as he begins the defence of the title he won by beating Rafael Nadal last year. The Serb was rarely tested in his opening match 12 months ago, as he won 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 against Jeremy Chardy to book his place in round two. All of the top 16 seeds in the men's draw successfully negotiated the first hurdle, leaving Alexandr Dolgopolov as the highest-ranked casualty to exit, losing in four sets to Fernando Gonzalez. Andy Murray received a rude awakening in his first-round match against the unheralded Daniel Gimeno-Traver last year, losing the first set before overwhelming the Spaniard and winning the next three sets 6-3, 6-0, 6-0.
