Gauff, Sabalenka and Swiatek are quickly becoming stars, but they are far from the only players -- the depth is truly unprecedented.

Briton beaten in Wimbledon second round 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 ‘I had chances that gave me confidence I was competing’ As a script it surely would have been rejected by Hollywood for being too outlandish. A 21-year-old British student, who has never played on the main tennis tour before, suddenly finds himself on Centre Court with 15,000 people cheering him on. And on the other side of the net is the Wimbledon champion. Yet that was the situation that Oliver Tarvet, the world No 733 from St Albans, found himself in on Wednesday as he lined up to face the brilliant Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. Continue reading...

Former world number one Tracy Austin discusses why she thinks Emma Raducanu's win over 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova in the second round at Wimbledon is "the best she's played" since she won the US Open in 2021.

Watch the best shots as Emma Raducanu continues to build momentum with a brilliant 6-3, 6-3 win over 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova to set up a third round meeting with top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

British player wins 6-3, 6-3 to make third round Raducanu will face world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka next On the eve of another tense fortnight at Wimbledon, Emma Raducanu had every reason to feel overwhelmed by the circumstances she found herself in. As her troublesome back injury continued to restrict her work on the practice court, she has also had to deal with undisclosed personal issues. Her expectations for the tournament were low. It is reflective of Raducanu’s personal growth and maturity that she has taken those difficulties in her stride and found a way to continue to move forward. In one of her most significant matches of the year so far, Raducanu spectacularly rose to the occasion on Centre Court, producing a brilliant performance to outplay the 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-3, 6-3 and return to the third round.

Defending champion is essentially a magic-eye puzzle you can read any way you want but has the inconsistency all but one of his rivals would dream of There were negatives, of course. Shall we focus on the negatives? Shall we dwell on the frailties a little? The uncharacteristic errors, the double faults, an occasional scruffiness at the net, the frequent slumps in intensity? Shall we marvel at the fact that the lowest-ranked player in the tournament earned more break points (11) than one of the greatest players of his generation (10)? Shall we warn, in a tone of affected sternness, that the defending champion will have to raise his game on this evidence? Of course we shall, because this is Carlos Alcaraz, and because there is an entire cottage industry built around maintaining the idea that Alcaraz is in a state of crisis at all times, a state of crisis so acute that it is necessary to feign round-the-clock concern for him. We just want to see all that rich talent fulfilled. That’s all it is. Sincerely and genuinely. And definitely not a weirdly prurient interest in his holidays to Ibiza, or whether him and Emma Raducanu are, you know. Just the talent. Thinking of the talent here. Continue reading...

British number one Emma Raducanu sweeps aside 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova to reach the Wimbledon third round.

Aryna Sabalenka advised Alexander Zverev to address his mental health before such issues "destroy" him, with the world No. 1 pointing to herself as an example of a player who benefited from speaking with a therapist and her family.

World No 101 Sierra beats Boulter 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-1 Kartal back in top 50 with win over Tomova Backing up a big win is never an easy thing, but when you hit 14 double faults, it’s almost impossible. After her outstanding win over ninth seed Paula Badosa on the opening day, Katie Boulter harboured genuine hopes of going further than ever before at this year’s Wimbledon, but her serve misfired badly and her 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-1 defeat by world No 101 Solana Sierra, a lucky loser from Argentina, will hurt badly. Sierra held her game together well and accepted the gifts that came her way as she reached the third round in her main draw debut. But Boulter’s game unravelled in worrying fashion, her ball toss all over the place and her confidence disintegrating. She won just 29% of points on her second serve, including one point from 20 on it in the last two sets. Continue reading...

After being pushed to five sets in his opening match, two-time defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz enjoyed a more routine 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over British qualifier Oliver Tarvet on Wednesday.
