Keeping up with the game of tennis, by the numbers. Each day at Tennis Now we’ll give you a fresh set—without any further ado, here’s what the numbers say ahead of Day 3 of Wimbledon.
21
Number of seeds that feel in the first round across the men’s and women’s draws—a Wimbledon record.
66
Number of consecutive Grand Slams played by Feliciano Lopez, which sets a new ATP record that was previously shared by Lopez and Roger Federer.
36
Tuesday’s loss marked the first time that Maria Sharapova had ever lost a match that included 35 or more games. Strange stat. But a good one.
3
Number of Top 10 seeds that fell out of the men’s draw in the first round at Wimbledon—it hasn’t happened in 20 years.
23
Consecutive sets won by Roger Federer at Wimbledon. The Swiss is 11 away from tying his won record, which he set in 2005 and 2006.
2
Number of players with a shot to reach No.1 on each side of the draw (Nadal can lock up No.1 by reaching the round of 16). Caroline Wozniacki has a small shot of overtaking Simona Halep here at SW19—here’s what she needs to do.
108
Marin Cilic’s number of Grand Slam wins. He can pass Goran Ivanisevic on the all-time list of Grand Slam wins by Croatian players by reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
