The tournament is reaching critical mass. Yesterday was “Manic Monday”, with all of the remaining men and women competitors on the court (that also includes the various permutations of doubles teams). Today, it’s the women only, playing in the quarter finals. The matches are being broadcast on ESPN.
Results to Date
Still in the tournament: Williams, Giorgi, Bertens, Gorges, Kasatkina, Kerber, Cibulkova, and Ostapenko. Serena Williams could find herself playing, again, for a Wimbledon Championship, after taking a year off to have her first child.
Federer, Raonic Nishikori, Anderson, Isner, Nadal, Djokovic, and del Poltro remain in the men’s draw.
In other British-centric sports news. English soccer fans will be closely watching today’s semi-final World Cup match, which pits France (now the favorite to win the entire tournament) against Belgium (a tough, smart team that is very disciplined). The match will be played at 2PM Eastern so if you have a chance to see it…….you’ll be in the company of millions.
