Martina Hingis was taken to 3 sets, but is through to the second round
The English weather played havoc with the opening of The Championships, with rain delaying the start of the tournament by several hours.
When play finally got underway, there were few surprises on the first day. Roger Federer took little over an hour to finish off Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili. Andy Roddick had a tougher time of it against Justin Gimelstob, with the third set going to a tie-break, but still completing a straight-sets win. Justine Henin was untroubled, with a 6-3 6-0 win over Jorgelina Cavero, while Serena Williams also had a comfortable straight-sets win.
The only seed to go down on the opening day was German 27th seed Phillip Kolschreiber who went down to Italian Florent Serra in straight sets. Mens' 24th seed Juan Ignatio Chela has a fight on his hands; down 2 sets to 1 against German Benjamin Becker when play was suspended, 20th seed Juan Carlos Ferrero has been taken to a 5th set by Jan Hajek. 15th womens' seed Patty Schnyder was also given a fright by Camille Pin, the Frenchwomen who went within an inch of upsetting Maria Sharapova in the blistering heat at the Australian Open.
The only Australian to get on the court on the opening day was Alicia Molik, who got through to the second round with a 6-3 6-2 win over Anastasia Rodionova.
