Wimbledon, ND

The courts at Wimbledon have changed significantly in the 21st century. The grass used to be thicker, slicker, and actually a different type. This has enabled the baseline players to play more defense, get more balls back in play, and then be aggressive once they get into the point. They can basically play similar to how they would play on a hard court or even a clay court.

Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev threw a temper tantrum at Wimbledon after a bad swing helped him lose a match against Grand Slam debutant Francisco Comesaña. Wimbledon rules bar players from smashing rackets against the court, so Rublev chose the next best thing—slamming his racket into his knee five times, leaving it bloody and bruised before crashing out of the tournament to the Wimbledon rookie.“I don’t know why in that moment, I couldn’t take it any more,” Rublev told a post-match press conference. “I needed to let emotions out. But thanks, everything is fine. Again, I was a bit lucky.”Rublev...

Coco Gauff became the first woman to reach the third round of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, dismissing Anca Todoni, 6-2, 6-1. "I do think I can be too critical because 2-1 is clean," Gauff, ever the perfectionist, said in her post-match press conference. "I think it's just like moments, maybe I like missed some shots that I normally would make. Also that's tennis, you're always going to miss some shots that you normally would make. I am trying to focus on straight sets and winning cleaner."

Wimbledon Day 1 Women’s Recap: Four Grand Slam Finalists Lose

On Wednesday, July 3, Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils will look to turn back the clocks when they clash in the second round of Wimbledon. In the first round, Wawrinka earned a 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 win over local Charles Broom, while Monfils dispatched Adrian Mannarino in four sets, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.

After wiping away Vit Kopriva in the first round without any issues, and beginning his second-round match against Jacob Fearney 6-3 6-4, things changed. Fearney began to control points in a way that should worry the Serb moving forward. Wimbledon only will get tougher from the third round on.

"I'm over the moon to be playing here and just extend my stay by one more day," Emma Raducanu said after her 6-1, 6-2 win over Elise Mertens in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday. For a 21-year-old, it was rather jarring for Raducanu to sound grateful just to be on a tennis court. She sounded like a 36-year-old close to the finish line, not a player with years left in the tank. But those who've followed Raducanu's young career would identify with her mindset. Exactly a year ago, she dealt with a myriad of ankle and wrist injuries that forced...
