Roger Federer came from two sets to one down to survive a Wimbledon scare from Adrian Mannarino, who was forced to retire after suffering a knee injury.
Federer was expected to come through his first match at the All England Club since losing the 2019 final to Novak Djokovic with little difficulty.
That anticipation was increased when he claimed the first set, only for Mannarino to fuel hope of a first win over Federer in their seventh meeting by taking the next two sets.
