After all, the number of tickets to Centre Court is really limited, and not everyone can buy a ticket, but Murray Hill is different. Everyone can come here, and it has become another unique landscape of Wimbledon, adding a bit of charm to the century-old Wimbledon.

Melbourne Park and Roland Garros both have large screens for outdoor viewing that imitate Wimbledon, but they are in vain and ultimately cannot replicate the essence of Wimbledon's picnic culture. Flushing Meadows, which has to worry about drunken trouble all the time, can only envy them.

This year, we have taken it a step further.

Murray, who returned from injury, finally found his form. After making a breakthrough at Roland Garros, he is in hot form in the grass court season and is the undisputed favorite to win the title. Local fans are eagerly looking forward to Murray replicating his feat in 2013 and winning the championship again. They are ready.

Early in the morning, a large number of people had already gathered at Murray Hill. Apart from the surging crowds queuing up to buy tickets, they all came early to occupy a position with a good view, waiting for the annual event to begin, even though there was no Murray match today.

Anyway, for a picnic, the most important thing is fun and relaxation.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the competition kicked off on time.

Following tradition, all eyes and broadcast signals at Wimbledon were focused on Centre Court, waiting for the defending champion to appear on stage.

In an instant, Wimbledon, where tens of thousands of people gathered, fell silent, with anticipation and tension, excitement and anxiety intertwined and permeating the air.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two players made their debut, with German veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber in the lead, followed closely by defending champion Novak Djokovic.

This was the first match at the Central Stadium, a field that no player had ever stepped on before. The green grass and white clothes were as white as snow, giving it a carefree and unrestrained feel. All the audience stood up collectively, with no cheers or whistles, just applause and salutes, slowly kicking off this year's event.

Sacred and solemn, formal and noble——

Every audience member couldn't help but become excited.

The players are even more so, their blood is boiling with uncontrollable excitement. Imagine themselves stepping onto the field as the defending champion and kicking off this centenary event. The eyes of the whole world are focused on the center court. It is a sense of honor and affirmation, and their hearts are bursting.

Standing in front of the TV screen, Gao Wen was about to go to the training ground for the second training session in the afternoon. Before he realized it, he had stopped.

Gawain is no longer a rookie, he has played many matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Rod Laver Arena and Philippe Chatrier Stadium, and has won the championship at two of these stadiums. He knows the taste and the feeling, but at this moment, he still can't help but yearn for it.

I long to step onto the Centre Court, I long to be crowned the champion, I long to start the opening match as the defending champion, I long to become the King of Wimbledon.

Plop, plop, plop…

My heart was pounding against my chest, my fighting spirit was coursing through my blood. Even though I had been on tour for nearly a year, and even though I had already tasted the joy of a Grand Slam title, at this moment I could still feel the boiling passion and surging blood constantly releasing energy.

The annual Wimbledon officially ignites the flames of war.

On the Centre Court, Djokovic faced Kohlschreiber in the first round.

Although the German veteran has performed poorly this year and has fallen out of the top 30 in the world rankings, so that he was not able to be seeded at this year's Wimbledon; but we must never forget that grass is the surface he is best at. He almost dethroned Federer in Halle two weeks ago.

Moreover, it is not completely impossible to win against Djokovic. In the third round of the 2009 French Open, Kohlschreiber unexpectedly defeated Djokovic. That was the only victory of the German veteran in the seven encounters between the two players.

What about this time at Wimbledon?

"6:4", "6:4", "6:4".

Djokovic was a little slow to warm up, but he finally won in three straight sets and set sail to start his title defense journey.

The first day of competition was uneventful, and all the players who deserved special attention successfully advanced.

From the top seeded players Wawrinka, Raonic, Nadal, to other seeds worthy of attention, Anderson, Cilic, Goffin, etc., without exception, all won and advanced.

The only slightly surprising person was Kei Nishikori.

When facing the Italian clay court master Borelli, the sixth seed unexpectedly fell into a tough battle, and finally won after a fierce five-set victory. Two weeks ago, he retired from the semi-finals in Halle due to injury. Although Kei Nishikori said that he was no longer seriously injured, the drastic ups and downs in his form in the first round were still worrying.

On the first match day, the sunny weather was a relief, but the unexpectedly high temperature was a severe challenge. With the perceived temperature generally approaching 40 degrees Celsius, the players had to fight hard under the scorching sun, and the fast pace of the grass court also posed additional challenges to everyone.

The full-day event has not yet ended, and the Wimbledon Organizing Committee has already announced the schedule for the next day:

Firstly, it makes it convenient for fans to queue up and buy tickets.

Secondly, it gives the players time to prepare and adjust.

Corresponding to the first day, the central court on the second day will be opened by the defending women's singles champion. Kvitova will start her title defense journey at 1 pm.

In addition, two other events will be arranged at the Central Stadium. Federer and Murray from the lower half will undoubtedly enter the Central Stadium schedule, just like Djokovic and Nadal from the upper half on the first day. Of course, this is also an arrangement that everyone expects.

One is the seven-time Wimbledon champion, the other is the local favorite hoping to win the championship. Even if Djokovic and Nadal meet these two players on the same day, the tournament organizing committee is unlikely to compromise on the venue arrangement, at least in the first two competition days.

The real key lies in the arrangement of Court No. 1.

There was already controversy over the first day schedule at Wimbledon this year, as Serena Williams was squeezed out of the centre court by Sharapova.

Serena Williams, who has won the Australian Open and French Open consecutively in the first half of the year, is still the biggest favorite for this year's Wimbledon; not to mention that as a five-time champion of the tournament, the world No. 1 should also receive more respect. However, Wimbledon still chose Sharapova to enter the center court, which also caused a lot of heated discussion after the game.

The next day, Wimbledon's schedule once again sparked controversy.

2010 tournament runner-up Berdych and last year's tournament semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov both entered Court No. 1.

When the schedule was announced, professional tennis journalists exclaimed in amazement, unable to believe their eyes, because this meant:

Gao Wen, ranked second in the world, this year's Australian Open champion and French Open semi-finalist, will start his first round match at Wimbledon on Court 2.
