If the first day of action at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships is any indication, things should be looking pretty good for the world's best players going forward.

Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Garbine Muguruza were all in action, moving on with ease on a day where upsets were few and far between. The highest-seeded player to lose was No. 20 Kevin Anderson on the men's side and No. 23 Ana Ivanovic for the women.
