Monday also marks the return of Petra Kvitova, who will receive one of the warmest welcomes to Wimbledon this year when she takes on Sweden's Johanna Larsson in the second match on Centre Court.
After being attacked in her own home in December, Kvitova suffered wounds to her left hand that threatened her career, but the two-time Wimbledon champion has recovered and walking out on to her favourite court again is bound to stir her emotions.
