Ubitennis Chief Editor Ubaldo Scanagatta looks back on the first day of the 2019 Championships, where many seeded players crashed out of the tournament: Alexander Zverev fell to Jiri Vesely, Stefano Tsitsipas lost to Italian Thomas Fabbiano, and world No.2 Naomi Osaka was dispatched in straight sets by Yulia Putintseva.
The talking point of the day was the sensation victory by Cori Gauff over Venus Williams. Gauff is contesting her first ever grand slam main draw at the age of 15.
