Luni a debutat cel de-al treilea turneu de Grand Slam al anului, la Wimbledon. In prima zi patru romani au intrat pe terenurile de la All England Club. Victor Hanescu s-a calificat in turul II, performanta reusita si de Edina Gallovits. Raluca Olaru a fost eliminata din intrecere in chiar runda inaugurala. Spre seara a intrat in lupta si Monica Niculescu. Ea a pierdut primul set cu slovaca Ribarikova, apoi l-a castigat pe al doilea, iar la scorul 2-4 in setul III, meciul s-a intrerupt din cauza intunericului. Extrem de bine pentru Monica, ea reusind marti sa castige patru game-uri la rand si sa urce in turul II. Marti a intra in cursa si Sorana Carstea reusind si ea sa urce in turul II.
