Nadal, Muguruza open on winning note

| | London

Two-time champion Rafael Nadal moved into the second round of Wimbledon with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 win over Dudi Sela of Israel.

The second-seeded Nadal hadn't played a match since claiming his 11th French Open title last month, but showed little sign of rust as he cruised to victory against Sela.

Nadal is seeking a first Wimbledon title since 2010, which would also make him just the second man to do the French Open-Wimbledon double three times. He will next face Vasek Popisil of Canada or Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan.

Muguruza wins

Wimbledon title-holder Garbine Muguruza advanced to the second round with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over British wild card Naomi Broady.

The No 3-seeded Spaniard overcame a partisan crowd as she fulfilled the reigning women's champion's honor of opening proceedings on Centre Court. Muguruza faced only one break point in the match, but her failure to convert the regular chances she created on Broady's delivery made for a competitive second set.

However, the two-time Grand Slam champion maintained her focus to close out the match and set up a second-round meeting with Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium or Polona Hercog of Slovenia.

Kvitova out

Two-time champion Petra Kvitova made a stunning first-round exit from Wimbledon on Tuesday as she lost 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 to unseeded Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus. The eighth-seeded Kvitova entered the tournament as one of the favorites despite having withdrawn ahead of the third round at Eastbourne last week with a right hamstring complaint. However, that didn't appear to be affecting her as she rallied to level the match by winning the second of two closely fought sets.
