The 2009 Wimbledon Championships are described below in detail, in the form of day-by-day summaries.
The first day of Wimbledon 2009 saw the early withdrawal of defending champion and number 1 seed Rafael Nadal due to injury. [1] Instead, 2008 Men's Singles runner-up and five-time Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer opened on Centre Court, winning his first round match in straight sets. Amongst the first day's winners were 2008 Australian Open Champion Novak Djokovic, 2009 French Open finalist Robin Söderling, Fernando Verdasco, Marin Čilić, Ivo Karlović, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Mardy Fish and former French Open champion Guillermo Cañas. Spanish player Nicolás Almagro survived a five set match against Juan Mónaco despite losing the first two sets, 6–7(3–7),6–7(7–9),7–6(7–5), 6–4, 8–6. Two matches were suspended on the first day: the match between Michaël Llodra and Josh Goodall, and the match between Tommy Haas and Alexander Peya. However, the first major upset of the tournament came when Italy's Andreas Seppi defeated Queen's Club finalist James Blake in straight sets, 7–5, 6–4, 7–6(7–5).
In the women's side of the draw, last year's finalist and two-time Wimbledon Champion Serena Williams easily won in straight sets; she was joined by Shahar Pe'er, Jill Craybas, Urszula Radwańska, Russian players Elena Dementieva, Alisa Kleybanova, Elena Vesnina, Nadia Petrova, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 2004 Wimbledon Champion Maria Sharapova, and 2008 semi-finalist Jie Zheng.

The 2009 Ordina Open Champion Tamarine Tanasugarn lost to Arantxa Parra Santonja in straight sets, but the major upset was when Ai Sugiyama defeated Patty Schnyder in straight sets.
