Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic progressed to the second round at Wimbledon after their opponents retired early in their matches, leaving the Centre Court crowd disappointed on Tuesday.
Seven-time champion Federer led 6-3 3-0 when Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov withdrew with an ankle injury, while Djokovicโ€™s opponent, Martin Klizan, pulled out at 6-3 2-0 down after 40 minutes of play.
Last yearโ€™s runner-up, Milos Raonic, cruised through to the second round with a 7-6(5) 6-2 7-6(4) win over Germanyโ€™s Jan-Lennard Struff.
The sixth seed struck 20 aces and fired the fastest serve of this yearโ€™s tournament at 141 mph to seal the victory on Court One.
Womenโ€™s top seed Angelique Kerber, who opened Centre Court proceedings in the absence of title holder Serena Williams, looked far from her best but claimed a 6-4 6-4 win over American qualifier Irina Falconi.
On Court One, third seed Karolina Pliskova needed just over an hour to record a 6-1 6-4 win over Russian Evgeniya Rodina.
