FIRST SET — Anderson wins 7-6 (6)
Anderson won the pre-match coin toss and elected to unleash his dangerous serve first, in his inaugural match on Wimbledon's center court.
Anderson captured the first set's opening game despite double-faulting on the first point, as he captured the next four points in succession. Isner returned the favor in Game 2 even though Anderson tallied the opening point in that game.
What followed was a lengthy third game, which Anderson won after eight duece battles. Anderson used an ace to gain the advantage before putting Isner away in the third.
