Wimbledon 2012: Venus Williams, John Isner Both Knocked Out

Wimbledon 2012: Day 1 Review, Day 2 Preview

Thoughts on Monday's Wimbledon action and a preview of Tuesday's matches to watch.

Wimbledon 2012 Live TV Schedule For Tuesday

Only one day of play has been completed in the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon, but it has already been quite eventful. On Monday, American players John Isner and Venus Williams were knocked out of competition in the very first round.

Isner was upset by Alejandro Falla, depriving fans of a potential Wimbledon rematch against Nicolas Mahut. Williams lost to Russia's Elena Vesnina in straight sets. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic advanced on the men's side and No. 1 seed Maria Sharapova advanced on the women's side.

Day 2 will begin Tuesday with plenty of big names on the schedule. No. 2 men's seed Rafael Nadal will take on Thomaz Bellucci and No. 4 Andy Murray will face off against Nikolay Davydenko as the men's first round continues. In the women's first round, No. 2 seed Victoria Azarenka will take on Irina Falconi, while Serena Williams will face Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.

Tuesday's action will air on ESPN 2 starting at 6:30 a.m. ET and will run until 5:00 p.m. ET. Wimbledon provides its own streaming service, which can be viewed at Wimbledon.com.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores: Recap Of Day 1 At The Championships

Upsets were the story of the first day at Wimbledon, which wasn't kind to some of the top Americans in the tournament. Both Venus Williams and John Isner were dumped out of the tournament, along with No. 6 seeded man Tomas Berdych. Williams and Berdych were both very much off their games in straight-set defeats, while Isner went down in a tough five-set match against Alejandro Falla.

While those upsets were surprising, the tournament's biggest names weren't tested at all on Day 1 of The Championships. Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova all cruised through their matches comfortably in straight sets. Andreas Seppi was the only ranked man other than Isner and Berdych to fall on Monday. Ranked women Flavia Pennetta, Monica Niculescu, Jelena Jankovic and Christina McHale all lost.

American women Sloane Stephens and Jamie Hampton both advanced, while Melanie Oudin was eliminated. In the men's draw, James Blake and Donald Young lost, while Ryan Harrison advanced to the second round.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores: John Isner, Tomas Berdych Upset Monday

The opening day at the 2012 Championship at Wimbledon has already featured two major upsets on the men's draw. No. 11-seed John Isner lost his opening round match to unseeded Alejandro Falla of Spain. Minutes later, No. 6 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic fell to Latvia's Ernests Gulbis.

Isner was the United States' highest-seeded player on the men's side. He fell in five sets--6-4, 6-7 (16), 3-6, 7-6 (16), 7-5--to the Spaniard. Unsurprisingly, the serve was no problem for the 6'9 Isner. He served up 31 aces to just four for his opponent. Fallas committed just 22 unforced errors to 49 for Isner, however. That proved difference in what was an very tightly played match. Isner won 164 total points to 163 for Fallas.

Berdych lost in straight sets to the 23-year-old Gulbis, all in tiebreakers. Gulbis won 7-6 (12), 7-6 (11), 7-6 (11) in another nailbiter. The unseeded Latvian dominated with 62 winners and 30 aces, to 30 and 13 for Berdych. The Czech put 59 percent of his first serves in play, and won just 48 percent of his second serves.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores: Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova Advance

The opening round of Wimbledon continues on with some more notable players advancing. The tournament's No. 3 seed, Roger Federer, made short work of Albert Ramos, advancing in straight sets. Federer dominated the match, winning 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 with Ramos not providing much of a challenge.

No. 17 seeded Fernando Verdasco was able to advance to the next round of the tournament, but it wasn't easy. Jimmy Wang battled Verdasco and made it a challenge going down in straight sets 7-6, 6-4, 7-5.

On the women's side of the tournament, No. 1 seed Maria Sharapova advanced through to the second round of the tournament by taking down Anastasia Rodionova. Sharapova beat Rodionova in straight sets 6-2, 6-3. Sharapova is looking to follow up her 2012 French Open victory with a Wimbledon win.

Wimbledon 2012 Results: Venus Williams Out In 1st Round

A notable upset has already occurred at the 2012 Wimbledon tournament, which opened with first round competition Monday. Russian Elena Vesnina dispatched notable American Venus Williams in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. The loss marks another early elimination for Williams, who was knocked out of the 2012 French Open in the second round.

Vesnina closed out the match with an ace, which exemplified how dominant she was in the match. Williams has struggled to move through singles tournaments as of late, consistently dealing with injuries that caused her to pull out of several tournaments in 2011.

On the men's side of the tournament, No. 1 seeded Novak Djokovic cruised through his opening round match against Juan Carlos Ferrero, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. Djokovic is looking to rebound from his loss in the finals of the 2012 French Open to Rafael Nadal.
