America's Frances Tiafoe, ranked 57, stunned the Greek star 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. "I probably had one of the best serving performances that I can recall on any surface," said Djokovic who fired 25 aces and 47 winners. Play on the outside courts started so late that 16 of the day's scheduled 64 matches were cancelled until Tuesday. Belarus second seed Aryna Sabalenka had the honour of being the first winner at the tournament in two years when she downed Romanian qualifier Monica Niculescu 6-1, 6-4 under the roof of Court One. Former US Open champion Sloane Stephens knocked out Czech 10th seed Petra Kvitova, the 2011 and 2014 champion, 6-3, 6-4.
