Grigor Dimitrov prevented a repeat of the 2013 Wimbledon final (lucky us) as he produced a sensational display to beat Andy Murray and set up a tantalising semi-final with Novak Djokovic. I’m relieved that Murray has gone out because the BBC coverage in the UK has been absolutely exhausting. Even today they were midway through…
Here’s my final report from Wimbledon with plenty of photos for your viewing pleasure. It was another crazy day full of tennis, full of excitement and full of Pimms. I got really lucky with tickets this year being able to go twice. I hope the ballot gods are on my side again next year! Lucie…

Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova will contest the first of the women’s semi-finals on Thursday, but the second one is still undecided. Both womens quarter-finals…
Nick Kyrgios produced the upset of the tournament and the upset of the entire year as he knocked out Rafael Nadal in four sets in a gripping Centre Court battle. After progressing through what looked liked a tricky first three rounds, it emerged that his fourth round match was the most dangerous! I really didn’t…

All four mens quarters look fascinating on paper and are likely to kick off from about 2pm. Here is the first part of the mens quarter-final preview featuring the quarters from the top…
Angelique Kerber produced the best performance of her entire career to knock out the 2014 Roland Garros Champion, Maria Sharapova, 7-6(4) 4-6 6-4 in two hours and 37 minutes of quite breathtaking tennis. There is no doubt that this was the best match of the tournament and it’s a pretty solid contender for WTA match…
