Wimbledon Day 2: The Men

Mostly matches in the bottom half of the draw, and the matches delayed by yesterday's rain, are being held today at Wimbledon. Poor Mardy Fish drew Rafael Nadal in the first round.

The other victors: Chris Guccione, Kristof Vliegen, David Nalbandian, Frank Dancevic, Lleyton Hewitt, Simone Bolelli, Max Mirnyi, Guillermo Canas, Nicolas Kiefer, Fabrice Santoro, Amer Delic, Nova Djokovic, Tomas Berdych, Michael Llodra, Hyung-Taik Lee, Augustin Calleri, Jonas Bjorkman, Yeu-Tzoo Wang, Wayne Arthurs, Tommy Robredo, Michail Youzhny, Jarkko Nieminen, Robin Soderling, Sebastien Grosjean, and Werner Escauer.

A few matches are still out there: Top seed Nikolay Davydenko has his hands full with Evgeny Korolev, and Gael Monfils looks to be closing out his match with Thomas Johansson.

Oh, yes! And Tim Henman won! He did! He really did defeat Carlos Moya. Rain delay and all. Okay, so it was on grass, but get a load of the score: 6-3 1-6 5-7 6-2 13-11. After blowing match points.
