LONDON: The All England Club gates swung open for the start of the Wimbledon championships on Monday with some notable absentees but one very familiar face, Novak Djokovic, fixing his eyes on more records.
But Wimbledon remains rich in plots, none least Serbian Djokovic's quest to win a men's record-extending 24th Grand Slam title, match Federer's eight Wimbledon crowns and equal Federer and Bjorn Borg's record of five successive titles. Swiatek, who last month claimed her third French Open crown, is bidding for a fifth Grand Slam title and has a tricky opener against China's Zhu Lin who narrowly missed out on being seeded.
Security was on high alert for any sign of protests after several high-profile sporting events in Britain this year have been disrupted, including last week's Ashes cricket test at Lord's where climate change protestors ran on to the field and attempted to spread orange powder on the turf.
