A quick look at Wimbledon:
LOOKAHEAD TO WEDNESDAY
The Williams sisters - seven-time champion Serena and five-time champion Venus - are both in second-round action against qualifiers. Serena has won 15 Wimbledon matches in a row ahead of facing 135th-ranked Viktoriya Tomova of Bulgaria at Centre Court, while Venus meets 141st-ranked Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania at No. 1 Court. Serena, who won the 2015 and 2016 trophies at the All England Club before sitting out last year while pregnant, has not lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2012. Other past Grand Slam title winners in action include Victoria Azarenka, who plays No. 7 Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court, and Caroline Wozniacki who goes up against Ekaterina Makarova at No. 1 Court. The men's lineup includes both of last year's finalists, with defending champion Roger Federer continuing his bid for a record-extending ninth title at the All England Club when he takes on Lukas Lacko at Centre Court. Lacko has never defeated a top-10 player. The 2017 runner-up, Marin Cilic, plays Guido Pella at No. 1 Court. Cilic was also the runner-up to Federer at this year's Australian Open and owns one Grand Slam title, from the 2014 U.S. Open. Three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka, ranked outside the top 200 as he works his way back from surgery on his left knee, plays against 133rd-ranked qualifier Thomas Fabbiano after eliminating No. 6 seed Grigor Dimitrov in the first round. Wawrinka is 12-0 against qualifiers at Grand Slam tournaments.
