American Jack Sock is known as one of the good guys of the sport – and as today’s social round-up highlights, it is easy to see why…
The No.17 seed is embroiled in #towelgate – and is determined to find the kid who missed out on getting his after a first round win:

If anyone knows the kid that unfortunately had the towel ripped out of his hands…tweet his name at me and I'll be sure to get him one ????????

Judy Murray, the mother of world No.1 Andy, also had some scathing words for the towel thief:
If ur the bloke in the blue polo shirt and hat, you should be ashamed…… https://t.co/KlZ250NCQP

Steve Johnson snaped Denis Kudla getting dressed up for the occasion:

While Serena Williams found it unusual not to be enjoying the day from the All England Club:

Arina Rodionova saved seven match points to record her first Grand Slam main draw win:
And for the record, it was the younger Rodionova sister (not Anastasia) who scored that big win:
Hi All. It was @arinarodionova who beat A. Pavluchenkova today! It wasn't me. I was only supporting her. #proudsister #teamrodi

Alexandr Dolgopolov was feeling popular:

Sam Groth and Steve Darcis engaged in a fierce locker room debate:
Locker room debate! If a player withdraws during the warm up of a first round match, is he replaced with a lucky loser? @stevedarcishark
— Sam Groth (@SamGrothTennis) July 4, 2017
I've been informed by the referees office that a lucky loser will go in until the first point is played! ????????????????

Dustin Brown is seemingly inspired by Tinder ahead of his second round match with Andy Murray:
And Karen Khachanov’s biggest concern of his next match is related to his fashion choices:
Little disagreement in the team????????????What is a better look when I play? #hatforward #headband #hatbackwards Thoughts please? pic.twitter.com/LmX8bjG4hE
