The most elegant tennis tournament of the year officially opens its doors with the first matches of main scoreboard. Start the edition of Wimbledon 2015 which has in Novak Djokovic e Serena Williams the big favorites respectively for the men's and women's draw. Behind them, many outsiders ready to surprise them on the long journey towards the final at the Center Court on 12 July.
In Wimbledon men's draw the number one in the world Novak Djokovic wants to drop the trio after the victories of 2011 over Nadal and last year over the eternal Federer. The Serbian faces a not exactly easy opponent in the first round: the German Philip Kohlschreiber. In the account of the precedents between the two Djokovic wins 6-1. We'll see if the statistics will make it easier to fight for the number one in the world. ?Behind the Serbian talent a varied group of pretenders ranging from Stanislas Wawrinka, who beat Nole in the final at Roland Garros, Roger Federer, chasing the tenth final on English grass and the eighth title, Rafa Nadal, desperately looking to make sense of a disappointing season so far, Andy Murray, home idol and 2013 winner, Kei Nishikori, terrible Japanese boy and Djokovic's possible opponent in the quarterfinals.
The crowd of Italians is large: 5 among men. We are talking about Fabio Fognini, Simone Bolelli, Paolo Lorenzi, Andreas Seppi and the lucky loser Luca vanni. The Tuscan tennis player, a true revelation of Italian men's tennis in 2015, takes the place of David Ferrer after the Spaniard's last-minute forfeit.
Turning to Wimbledon women's draw, the favorite, as mentioned, is Serena Williams who has already raised the 'Rosewater dish' to the London sky on five occasions but who has disappointed a lot in the last two editions. Few opponents able to undermine her dominance this season. A lot of curiosity about the outgoing champion, the Czech Petra Kvitova, and about the beloved Maria Sharapova. The patrol of Italian tennis players is very numerous and we start immediately with the derby between Francesca Schiavone and Sarita Errani. Flavia Pennetta faces Zarina Diyas while Roberta Vinci will have to face the unpredictable Aleksandra Krunic. Easy turn on paper for the young Camila Giorgi who will face Teliana Pereira. Finally Karin Knapp will face Magdalena Rybarikova.
