Wimbledon 2010 Day 1

Not a good day for British Women's tennis yesterday at Wimbledon. The only bright spot was a good performance in losing by Laura Robson against the 4th seed Jelena Jankovic. Sania Mirza lost but it was a stroll in the park for Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin and Venus Williams with easy wins. The biggest shock of the day was French Open champion Francesca Schiavone crashing out.
