At this Stage

Frances Tiafoe arrived with his first ATP 500 title, won in Halle nine days earlier, and turned in a slightly untidy but entirely sound opener. The 17th seed beat Wimbledon debutant Térence Atmane 7-6(6) 6-1 4-6 6-4 in a match halted by darkness after three sets and finished the next day, keeping his own errors to 18 while the Frenchman donated 45. Atmane's third set showed why he was worth the bother; the other three showed the gap. Tiafoe's grass form, freshly minted in Germany, carried intact into a round-of-64 meeting with Britain's Jan Choinski — where he would drop the first set and still come through in four.
