    There were mixed results on Day 2 of the Wimbledon 2018. Women's singles big names Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova were knocked out in the first round itself. In the men's section, there were comprehensive victories for Rafa Nadal and Djokovic. Let's see what was in store for the players on a productive Day 2 of the third Grand Slam of the year.

    Halep, Muguruza lead charge in women's singles

    2018 French Open winner and world number one Simona Halep progressed to the second round after beating Japan's Nara 6-2, 6-3. Halep is eyeing 2nd Slam of her career and the win will give her immense confidence to move forward. Defending champion Garbine Muguruza got off to a solid start with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Naomi Broady.

    Sharapova leads a day of upsets

    5-time Slam winner Maria Sharapova faced a stunning 3-set exit in the first round. Despite winning the first set 7-6 and leading 5-2 in the 2nd, the Russian lost the plot from there on to hand a victory to qualifier Vitalia Diatchenko. Further, Petra Kvitova suffered in three sets after failing to get past Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus, who won 6-4, 4-6, 6-0.
