Rafa returns to Wimbledon for the first time since hoisting the trophy, Muzzard kicks off his campaign on Court 1, and Shazza gives it another go on Court 2.
But don't ignore the undercards. Queens champ Sam goes up against Bosch champ Sergiy Staks, a first rounder that seems more dangerous today than it did five days ago. Rezzie will wear something shiney that accentuates her assets when she takes on Rybarikova, who's always a threat on grass. And for guaranteed tears and drama, you can't do better than Chak vs. PetKo.
And in a match that I'm fairly certain is less about tennis and more about who has the better Blue Steel, Fernando gets Fognini.
If you're concerned you won't wake up in time for the action don't worry. Just set your TV to ESPN before you to go to bed. Trust me, there's no way you won't be awake for Rafa's match.
