Vasek Pospisil of Canada celebrates defeating James Ward of Britain during their singles match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, Saturday July 4, 2015.

“Even if they’re not cheering for me I just embrace the situation”. So local and likeable and unpretentious that last week he was travelling to practice at SW19 from his London apartment on the tube, just an unrecognizable strap-hanger.

Giant Croatian Karlovic stands between 2013 Wimbledon champion Murray and an eighth consecutive SW19 quarter-final appearance. While it did cost him the set, it also enabled him to storm back strongly in the fourth set.

“My racket went like this, and then it hit like here, and then boom, boom”, Karlovic said at his post-match news conference, holding out his right arm to demonstrate.

I’m getting frustrated myself.

Number two seed Roger Federer suggests that Spanish opponent Roberto Bautista Agut may not have been on his best game during their fourth-round clash at Wimbledon.

If he is to be fined, we’ll know Saturday, Wimbledon’s press office said in an email.

John Isner is back in Wimbledon’s third round for the second consecutive year.

Troicki neutralized the 102nd-ranked Brown’s serve-and-volley game and played better on the key points, winning 6-4, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-3. Groth has never reached the fourth round of a grand slam in his career.

I had to shuffle with the legs to get in position. It’s actually frustrating because I’m so competitive.

There were no reports of injuries, but firefighters were called to the scene.
