World number one Jannik Sinner showcased his prowess at Wimbledon by effortlessly defeating fellow Italian Luca Nardi 6-4, 6-3, 6-0. This marked Sinner's strong return to the Grand Slam stage after his thrilling loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open. "First round matches are never easy, so I'm very happy about today," Sinner stated, noting the unfortunate outcome for his friend Nardi, who he knew well and tried to keep friendships aside during their match, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

While Sinner advanced easily, several seeded players suffered unexpected defeats. Notably, third seed Jessica Pegula was eliminated by Elisabetta Cocciaretto in a swift match that ended 6-2, 6-3 within 58 minutes. Similarly, fifth seed Qinwen Zheng lost 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 to Katerina Siniakova, reflecting the challenges faced by high-ranked players in the heat of Wimbledon, according to Dawn and Channel News Asia.

Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova faced a tough challenge from promising young player Alexandra Eala, managing to secure her spot in the next round despite dropping the first set. Krejcikova expressed admiration for Eala's skill, noting, "What the hell (kind of tennis) she played in the first set?" This match ended 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 in Krejcikova's favor, highlighting her resilience at the tournament, according to Reuters and Dawn.

The ongoing tournament saw other significant results, such as the exit of 28th-seeded Alexander Bublik and last year's semi-finalist Lorenzo Musetti, both falling victim to lower-seeded opponents. As the competition heats up, many anticipate how the remaining players will adapt to the challenging grass courts of Wimbledon, according to Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Dawn.
