Five things to watch on Day 1 of The Championships.
The first married ladies' champion of Wozniacki's lifetime?
Here on her honeymoon - well, sort of, after marrying former basketball player David Lee in Tuscany just a few days ago - Caroline Wozniacki has the opportunity to achieve some history at Wimbledon this Fortnight. With a quick costume change from bridal white to Wimbledon whites, the Dane could become the first married woman to take the singles title in her lifetime, since Chris Evert Lloyd, then married to British tennis player John Lloyd, was the champion in the summer of 1981.
Wozniacki, who starts against Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo, will also be trying for another first: the only Wimbledon champion to have had Serena Williams as a bridesmaid. Williams herself came close to winning the title as a married woman last summer, finishing as the runner-up to Germany's Angelique Kerber.
Venus eclipsed on the age stakes
Father Time, once the most feared adversary in tennis, appears to have taken the summer off. At the age of 39, Venus Williams is the oldest competitor in the ladies' singles, and will play an opponent almost a quarter of a century younger than her, in 15-year-old qualifier Cori Gauff.
But at least her number begins with a three, unlike Croatia's Ivo Karlovic, who at 40 years old is both a cult figure and an elder statesman of these lawns. Karlovic, who starts against Italian Andrea Arnaboldi, is the oldest man to play in the singles event since Ken Rosewall in 1975. Standing just an inch under seven feet tall, Karlovic plays grass court tennis at the extremes - there's also no one taller on the grass.
Grass suits teenage debutant Auger-Aliassime
It takes most young players a while to adjust to the strategies and subtleties of lawn tennis. But not Felix Auger-Aliassime, an 18-year-old Canadian who is the first player born in the year 2000 or later to feature in the men's singles. On grass, and indeed on all surfaces, he is a faster learner than most.
In early June in Stuttgart, Auger-Aliassime played his very first tour-level event on grass, and made the final. Then in London, he defeated Grigor Dimitrov, Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas on the way to the semi-finals at Queen's Club. After starting the year with a three-digit ranking, he is now almost in the top 20; the debutant could shake things up on these lawns. Should Auger-Aliassime win his all-Canadian first-round match with Vasek Pospisil, it would be quite a moment for the teenager: that would give him his first victory in the main draw of a Grand Slam.
The last man from Wimbledon to win Wimbledon
Should Novak Djokovic win a fifth Wimbledon title this summer, he would put himself level with Bjorn Borg, the champion from 1976-80. He would also go level with Laurie Doherty, the champion from 1902-06, who was born in Wimbledon. Djokovic, who was born in Belgrade, opens the Centre Court programme against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber.
The Williams century-makers
Among active players, no one has played more main draw singles matches at Wimbledon than Venus, who will be making her 106th appearance on Monday. Next on that list is her younger sister Serena, who on Tuesday will be playing her 104th singles match at Wimbledon. The sisters are a long way ahead of the third-placed player, Maria Sharapova, who will bring up 60 matches on Tuesday.
