Just a little more than hour into play and we have our first upset. 18-year-old Anastasia Potapova knocks out 5th seed Angelique Kerber 6-4, 6-2.
Kerber was coming off a foot injury but this win was completely earned by the Russian. Very mature performance. #RG19
Potapova: I was so happy at the moment, and I'm still so happy. I was live for this win, for these emotions, for these moments. I'm going to do everything to live it through again and again and again (smiling).
