Wimbledon Day 2 - Federer, Nadal, Kvitova cruise; Murray toils; Halep, Bouchard crash; Brits thrive
On a day when Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray made their 2015 Wimbledon bows, the Telegraph’s Chief Sports Feature Writer Oliver Brown joins Tennis Podcast presenters David Law (BBC 5 Live) and Catherine Whitaker (Live At Wimbledon) to talk about it all. Petra Kvitova won in half an hour to start her title defence, but the woman she beat in last year’s final, Eugenie Bouchard, and the third seed Simona Halep, both fell. It was also a fantastic day for British tennis, with Heather Watson saving match points to advance, four British men reaching round two for the first time since 2006, and Laura Robson playing creditably on her return from an 18 month injury.
