Rafael Nadal Looks to Kickstart Wimbledon 2018 Campaign With a Bang

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal also advanced with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan on Centre Court.

Nadal, aiming to add to the Wimbledon titles he landed in 2008 and 2010, said: "It's great to be out here at Wimbledon". Of course, I will love to play on Queen's.

The U.S. Open will have a shot clock for this year's tournament with Wimbledon poised to follow suit.

Dudi Sela, who a year ago made it to the third round of Wimbledon, will look to give tough competition to the Spaniard as he has good playing record on the grass-court. I'm happy to be through. But I felt I was in a position to fight for important things.

THe 32-year-old took 10 minutes to hold his opening service game and was still being asked questions by the world number 77 in the third when he slipped 3-1 behind in the face of some inspired shot-making by his opponent.

Petra Kvitova crashed out of Wimbledon in the first round on Tuesday as the two-time champion was stunned 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 by unheralded Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Slams when he eased past Federico Delbonis of Argentina 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.

Kyrgios, seeded 15, hammered down 42 aces and unleashed 78 winners. He is the third top 10 man to lose in the first round after sixth seed Grigor Dimitrov and 10th seeded David Goffin.

On Wednesday, the second round opens with the return of 8-time champion Roger Federer who faces recent Eastbourne finalist Lukas Lacko.
