Wimbledon glance

LOOKAHEAD TO TODAY The first match of the fortnight on Centre Court is reserved for the previous year’s male champion, Roger Federer. He faces Dusan Lajovic of Serbia. “It’s a big deal. I mean, besides the history and the mythical place that it is, you cannot … practice on it. When you come out, there’s a bit of uncertainty for both players,” Federer said Sunday. “The entire atmosphere changes at Wimbledon, and you realize the eyes are on you.” Both Williams sisters are scheduled to play on Day 1 of the tournament, with seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena against Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands on Court 1, and five-time champ Venus against Johanna Larsson on Court 2.

2017 MEN’S SINGLES CHAMPION Roger Federer

2017 WOMEN’S SINGLES CHAMPION Garbine Muguruza

LAST YEAR Federer was a 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 winner in the final against Marin Cilic, who was hobbled by a foot blister. Federer became the first man to win eight Wimbledon titles and extended his record to 19 Grand Slam singles trophies (he made it 20 at the Australian Open in January). Muguruza defeated Venus Williams 7-5, 6-0 for her first Wimbledon title and second at a major tournament. Muguruza, who got past Serena Williams in the 2016 French Open final, is the only woman to beat each Williams sister in a Grand Slam final.

BACK IN THE FIELD Serena Williams returns after missing Wimbledon last year while she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter last September, and this will be the fourth tournament of her comeback. Williams has a 14-match winning streak at the All England Club, with her sixth and seventh titles in 2015 and 2016, and a 10-match winning streak in Grand Slam action. Also returning: 2004 champion Maria Sharapova, who missed Wimbledon the past two years — in 2016 because of a 15-month doping suspension, and in 2017 because of an injured left thigh.
