Wimbledon, England - On a Tuesday at Wimbledon, Serena Williams downloaded a line to the net and fell on one knee, with the jaw tight when he let out a scream.
On another, he pushed a backhand network, while his feet gave way, once again, leaving open with difficulty on the grass at Court 2, the same place where her sister Venus lost a day before.
Finally, the young Williams drew almost all points, good or bad - and, well, there was plenty of both. His more-than-the score-looked 6-2, 6-4 in 62 th place Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic in the first round at the All England Club was not entirely or almost perfect.
"No doubt" relief, "the sixth preclasificada Williams said." I left a lot of screaming. I was happy this happened. "
Yes, Williams did the job, which could mean that the last time I was in a major championship. Last month at the French Open, the U.S. 30-year-old threw a big advantage - nine times, had two points of victory - and the loss of a woman site 111 ยบ The only race in the first round of Williams' in 48 Grand Slam tournaments.
"I learned that you have to go ... go," said Williams, the surprising defeat. "I was really disappointed obviously, I was very disappointed, but, as Kelly Clarkson says:. '.. What does not kill makes you stronger"
In part because of a series of threats to health that place for about 10 months, Williams has spent two years since the last of his 13 major titles, four of them at Wimbledon. And although she quickly leaned in Paris, Williams is a popular choice for good two weeks.
"For me, when I'm playing a game," Williams said, "I win or lose."
You must play better against him Zahlavova Strycova, who is 0-21 against top 10 opponents 13-27 in Grand Slam matches, and never got beyond the third round in any specialty.
Some others were the best players of slow start against enemies not announced Tuesday, when the action was canceled by the rain at night.
The two-times Wimbledon champion, Rafael Nadal, for example, losing by 4-0 before the 80-rated Thomas Bellucci of Brazil before turning and won 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-3.
"Good for me," Nadal said, "but I have to improve much for the round."
Sample of women in defense of Petra Kvitova stayed behind 3-0 and 4-1, but eventually used a period of seven games to take control and hit 96 ranking Akgul Amanmuradova 6-4, 6-4 . The match was interrupted by a rain delay of 30 minutes in the second set, when they returned, Kvitova takes all of three minutes to wrap things up.
"In the beginning," he said Kvitova, "I think he was nervous."
Twelve singles matches were suspended in progress and four were shelved altogether. Among those who started but not in the U.S. Open champion in 2003 and three times Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick led British wildcard Jamie Baker, an element of a set and a break, finalist of the French Open Sara Errani was a point to beat U.S. qualifier CoCo Vandeweghe, 21 and seeded Milos Raonic of Canada was a game to kill Santiago Giraldo of Colombia, which leads to two sets and 5-4 in the third.
Among the winners, 10 Mardy Fish, are seeded in the U.S., playing his first game since he has a medical procedure on his heart a month ago.
The fish of 30 years, 24 aces and beat beat Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo of Spain 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (1), did not participate in a press conference postmatch was a spokesman said about the fish did not feel good, and not processed.
The three Australian men in action on Tuesday came, no one has reached the second round at the All England Club for the first time since 1938. No. 20, Bernard Tomic, a quarter-final at age 18 in 2011, was eliminated by David Goffin, Belgium wildcard recipient who took a seven to Roger Federer in the fourth round of the Open de France 2002, Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt lost No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Matthew Ebden was beaten by Benoit Pair of France.
"The boys have not had the best day," said Hewitt, who used to be ranked No. 1, but has faced a series of injuries, is now 202 and needed a wildcard to enter the field.
Had doubled in the first round at Wimbledon since 2003. Williams has never. He never lost before the third round, in fact, and is now 13-0 in the Open Grand Slam tournament on grass.
Last year, Williams was asked why the organizers of the tournament assigned to her and her sister to play track 2, instead. Bigger and more prestigious or central court must, after all, has won nine singles championships at Wimbledon and four at the other end of this phase.
