U zaostalom meču prvog kola, a po prikazanom, vrednom finala najvećeg turnira, Stefanos Cicipas je savladao Dominika Tima u taj-brejku petog seta – 3:6, 7:6 (1), 6:2, 6:7 (5), 7:6 (8). Opšti utisak je da je velika šteta što je neko morao da izgubi i završi učešće.

Rolerkoster je trajao skoro četiri sata, uz kvalitet tenisa na najvišem nivou. Ušao je meč u peti set u kome je Cicipas imao jedinu brejk, a samim tim i meč loptu u 12. gemu. Morao je ipak sve da rešava u taj brejku. Uspeo je da u pobedu pretvori treću meč loptu.

U drugom kolu rival će mu biti Endi Mari, a Grk je na zanimljiv način najavio taj meč pred vimbldonskom publikom.
