Monday.

The first Wednesday in 2004 was washed out (23 June).

ISTR that the first Monday was washed out circa 1971.

I think that may have been 1965 if that's circa enough. I
need to confirm on the Times Digital Archive though.

OK forget that, Wikipedia says that Wimbledon began on 22 June,
which was the Tuesday, but there was some play on Monday 21,
including several completed matches, but a lot of rain and
thunderstorms.

Wiki dates are unreliable it seems. :-)
