Pele lied because grass court tennis is The Beautiful GameTM.

Federer and Nadal are the clear #1 and #2 because apparently it's 2008 not 2018. As Serena continues to round into form after giving birth, the women's side continues to be full of weak top ranked players.

Day 1 observations:

Federer's clothing contract with Nike lapsed so he signed a 10 year contract with Uniqlo for $300 million+. Uniqlo copied Nike's blade collar but it still looks like rear end. You do appreciate how clean the Nike logo is though, and he's still wearing Nike shoes.

One-time It Girl #4 seed Sloane Stephens got trounced on Court 1 by Donna Vekic 6-1 6-3.

Baby Federer and one-time Maria Sharapova boy toy Grigor Dimitrov got wrecked by a recovering-from-injury and my-spirit-animal Stan Wawrinka in 4 sets.

Woops, I did a quick scan and didn’t see the other one when I made this one.

I should’ve assumed someone would do it since I’ve been lazy about making threads for the last 2 slams.
