It’s the grand opening of Wimbledon this Monday. The third round of the Grand Slam of the season, The Championships begins with a bang with many headliners and four Belgians on the menu for this first day.
The menu will be very generous for our compatriots. From 12:00, Greet Minnen will enter the action against the local Heather Watson. A little later, the Belgian number one Elise Mertens – who has just retired in Eastbourne – will face the Japanese Nao Hibino, while Alison Van Uytvanck will be opposed to the qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva.
