Carlos Alcaraz dropped the first set once more but rallied in time to down Tommy Paul in four sets, keeping his Wimbledon title defense hopes alive. The Spaniard hasn’t been playing his top-level tennis at Wimbledon so far this year. He’s been playing great at times, but not consistently at the level that he can…
By Erik Gudris | @atnennis | Tuesday, July 9, 2024 Elina Svitolina is enjoying yet another successful run at Wimbledon. Yet she hopes her on-court victories keep the focus on the ongoing conflict in her native Ukraine. The No. 21 seed Svitolina eased her way into the quarterfinals with a convincing 6-2, 6-1 win over…
Even in a win, Novak Djokovic was displeased with the Wimbledon crowd on Monday night. During his 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Holger Rune that wrapped up fourth-round action at the All-England Club, Djokovic surmised that some fans took the opportunity to boo him by disguising it as an extended bellow of his opponent’s name….
Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner is the best rivalry going on tour right now. But that–if it happens–is still a round away. Carlos Alcaraz vs. Tommy Paul is perhaps the most underrated rivalry at the moment. That will happen. Alcaraz and Paul will be squaring off for the fifth time in their careers when they…

By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Monday July 8, 2024 Remember in 2021, when Novak Djokovic and Holger Rune played in the first round of the US Open and the Serbian legend was confused when the Arthur Ashe faithful cheered Rune’s name? Well, it did sound like a chorus of boos, and that was part…

Novak Djokovic was not happy with the Centre Court crowd on Monday night at Wimbledon. And that was even after winning! In a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 fourth-round defeat of Holger Rune, Djokovic felt that certain were booing him and disguising it as saying opponent’s name. Whatever it was–either booing or “Ruuuuuune”-ing–it did not sit well…
