Jessica Pegula’s press conference Tuesday at Wimbledon had plenty to dig into. It was a contrast to her opening match, where the No. 5 seed needed just 49 minutes to dispatch countrywoman Ashlyn Krueger, 6-2, 6-0. Seven different women have won the grass-court major in the past seven years....

 Carlos Alcaraz turned to his box, clenching his fist in delight with that familiar intensity.

Yet a closer inspection revealed a crucial habit that could enable the Spaniard to defend his title and move to four career grand slams.A defiant Novak Djokovic, gritting his teeth through the lingering effects of surgery, and the world No 1, Jannik Sinner, pose obvious threats to this promising title...

LONDON -- Change is afoot on the first Thursday of Wimbledon. For the first time in the tournament's history, a British general election is taking place during its fortnight, with a new government potentially imminent -- though both players and fans are doing a steadfast job of ignoring it. More relevant to their interests is the new weather that Day 4 has brought -- glorious sunshine with a pleasant breeze to replace the drizzle that has beset the previous few days.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

Wimbledon Day 2 Men’s Recap: Two Shocks Take Place

WIMBLEDON—Every time I enter Centre Court at Wimbledon, music runs through my head. The primary reason for this is that one of my favorite rituals in SW19 is to enter the grounds by 8:30 a.m., head to a massively vacant Centre Court, sit by myself in a familiar corner, listen to a few songs, and let Wimbledon pour through me in all its meditative majesty. Go ahead, call me a New Age traditionalist.

Emma Navarro’s Centre Court debut, against Naomi Osaka, was a perfect melody
