Wimbledon 2012 Schedule: A Look at Monday's Best Matches

With Day 1 at Wimbledon well underway, we've already seen a series of shockers and unexpected outcomes.

While Novak Djokovic dispatched Juan Carlos Ferrero with ease 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, Venus Williams didn't have as easy a time in her first-round match, losing to Elena Vesnina 6-1, 6-3.

While we may have seen the last of Venus at Wimbeldon—not only this year, but for good—there's still more action to look forward to on Monday, even though some of the front-runners have completed their first-day festivities. Here's a glimpse at what else there is to watch for.

To see the entirety of this year's Wimbledon schedule, you can always take a look on the tournament's official website. 

Kim Clijsters vs. Jelena Jankovic
No. 1 Court, 1 p.m.

In only her second trip to Wimbledon in the last six years, Clijsters is determined to make a run in what will definitely be her last attempt, according to the Associated Press. She's already retired once from the game only to return, yet Clijsters insists this is it. She just wants to take one more crack at Wimbledon before calling it quits in September.

She told the AP:

"

Too old. Too old to play the game that I want to play physically. I've put my body through enough strain and everything. The whole lifestyle, that's what I'm dealing with now, the lifestyle I've had for the last 15, 20 years. It's been great. I wouldn't change it for a thing.

"

In eight meetings with Jankovic, Clijsters has won seven.

Igor Andreev vs. Oliver Golding
No 2. Court, 11:30 a.m.

Here, we have Golding, the reigning US Open junior champion, taking on the  Russian in his main-draw debut. After receiving a wild-card entry, he'll face Andreev, ranked No. 90 in the world—which is still much better than Golding's own No. 485.

Last year, Golding finished as the runner-up among juniors at Wimbledon; this year, at the bright old age of 18, it's time to play with the big boys. 

Pressure aside, the young star is excited. He told the Guardian's Graham Moody:

"

Playing in the first round will be a big experience for me—I’ll do my best and see what happens. I feel a little bit nervous but I got there by working hard and hopefully that will carry me through.

"

Ernests Gulbis vs. Tomas Berdych
Centre Court, 1 p.m.

Back in 2010, Berdych stunned Roger Federer in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon; now, he's back again for glory. Back in 2010, he fell to Rafael Nadal in straight sets in the finals, but you can rest assured that if he makes it out of the first round this year, this is someone who is very capable of scoring an upset, just like he did a couple of years back. Maybe this time, he'll be able to complete it. 

The World No. 7 most recently lost to Tommy Haas in Round 2 at Halle a couple of weeks ago, but facing No. 87 Gulbis, the odds have to be in his favor, particularly on this surface. Though they've never faced off on grass, according to CrunchSports.com, Berdych has beaten Gulbis two out of three times on other surfaces.
