Morning guys, Ricky here with your Monday Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
And we are at Wimbledon to serve up some tennis treats. | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
Yes, guys, it's one of the world's biggest tennis tournaments and it's | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
This morning we're going Wimbledon-tastic, and Ayshah | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
How you said that volcano name, I have no idea! We are here at | :00:33. | :00:48. | |
Wimbledon, it is the first day. You might be able to hear the lawn mower | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
was giving behind me, the grass getting cut for the last time before | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the players, to the court, otherwise it is a bit quiet, there are not | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
many people but there are thousands of tennis fans just waiting and | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
lining up to come on in and see some great tennis. That is one fact about | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Wimbledon but here are plenty more with quickly. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
So this year at Wimbledon there will be 674 matches played. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
And if one match was played a day, it would last for over two years. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Over 54,000 tennis balls will be used during the tournament. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
The longest ever match at Wimbledon was in 2010. | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
It lasted 11 hours and five minutes, over three days. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
And as a treat the players were given mashed potatoes | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
The fastest-ever serve was by Taylor Dent in 2010 | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
That's double the speed limit for a motorway so, | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
as you can imagine, that's really fast. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
At Wimbledon, it's tradition to eat strawberries and cream, and over | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
the two-week period over 28,000kg will be eaten. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
That's the same weight as nearly three elephants. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Wimbledon has its very own hawk called Rufus, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
who flies for one hour every morning of the Championships | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Mr Popular even has his own Twitter account. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Well, we've got a great line up of British stars playing today. | :02:23. | :02:36. | |
Kicking everything off is Andy Murray on Centre Court as the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
defending champion. He did have a bit of a problem, hip injury, but he | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
said he should be OK. In happier news committee also said he is | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
expecting a second baby with his wife, Kim, so congratulations for | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
that! Also in action today, Heather Watson and Johanna Konta, loads of | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
British stars taking to the courts today. But we want to know who could | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
possibly win this thing? We spoke to the BBC's tennis expert Russell | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
Fuller. Andy Murray is the obvious name | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
to start with as the defending champion, the world number one, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
but he's had a very poor 2017 by his standards so far and has had | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
problems with his hip heading But he is a two-time | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Wimbledon champion, he's The world number one | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
is Angelique Kerber. Her year has been a bit | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
like Andy Murray's year. She hasn't had a great deal | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
of success since becoming the world number one but she was in the final | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
in 2016 here at Wimbledon and she definitely has | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
the game to become champion Roger Federer is another | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
name that lots of people He's won the Wimbledon | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
title seven times. He's had a bit of a break recently | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
but that did him no harm He'd not been on court | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
for six months before that and he won the Australian Open | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
at the age of 35. There are high hopes | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
of Britain's Johanna Konta. She's performed very, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
very well in the big tournaments in the last couple of years | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
and will be the sixth She did have a nasty | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
fall at Eastbourne. Seemed to hit her head and her back | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
very, very hard on the grass but, as we saw with the way she played | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
there, beating the world number one and the reigning French Open | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
champion on the same day, Rafa Nadal is the | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
French Open champion. He won the title in Paris | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
just three weeks ago. He has won Wimbledon twice | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
in the past but historically has suffered knee problems | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
here at Wimbledon. The ball bounces lower and therefore | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Nadal's knees have to bend more to get down to the ball and that's | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
caused him problems. She's a five-time Wimbledon | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
champion, but she has been playing wonderfully | :04:56. | :05:12. | |
well over the past couple of years and her chances are not to be | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
entirely written off at all. That is all from me from a very | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
sunny Wimbledon, I'm hoping the sun stays out, it will be a lovely day. | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Back to you, Ricky. A bit of other sport now, | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
and it was bad news for British cyclist Chris Froome at the latest | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
stage of the Tour de France. He took a tumble after a massive | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
pile-up in wet weather. Don't worry - he got back | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
on his bike, but did say later that he'd lost of bit of skin | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
from his bottom. As you may know, Popocatepetl | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
is a big volcano far away in Mexico, The ash cloud blew up 2000 | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
metres above the crater. That's all from me, | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Newsround's back at 4.20pm. Hey! I hope you're ready for school | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
