Let's hear from the two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, as she gets over the line in her first round match:
"She always makes it very hard for me, we played last year. It's never easy to play at the beginning of the tournament and especially here being moved to the Centre Court is always a little bit different.
"But thank you roof for leaving it up today and thank you guys for staying with me and supporting me."
What made the difference?
