• Rafa Nadal Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 5th July 2010

  Rafa ready for some partying They'd been waiting patiently outside the front of the clubhouse to steal a glimpse of their hero. And when Rafael Nadal walked out as Wimbledon champion for the second time in his career the fans were not disappointed. The world No.1, who is rather particular when it comes to routine, walked up and down the rows of people and took his time to sign almost anything thrown in his path by those clamouring for his autograph. It was his way of repaying the love and respect shown to him by fans throughout the fortnight. "[Wimbledon] Probably is the best crowd of the world," he said after the match. "They have a lot of respect for every player, I think. If I speak about myself, was always amazing with me, the crow

• Final Day round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 5th July 2010

  When Tomas Berdych woke up yesterday, the one thing that he will have been a little disappointed about was that for the first time in the Championships it was windy.Why? Because that made life just a little more difficult for a player who has a relatively high ball toss and who loves to hit hard and flat and goes for the lines at every available opportunity.On the other hand, Rafael Nadal revels in such conditions given he plays the percentages better than anybody else in the world.So considering that Berdych performed well, especially given it was his first Grand Slam final. He made a high percentage of first serves (59% compared to his average this season of 57%) and as you would expect he won the majority of points when it went in; 73%.B

• Day 12 Round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 4th July 2010

  Vera Zvonareva's dream run to the final of Wimbledon was stopped in its tracks by the serene machine that is Serena Williams. After struggling to find her rhythm for the first six games of the tie, the younger member of this millennium's dominant dynasty suddenly clicked into gear, and the match was over as a contest.Zvonareva had earned a crack at her first ever Grand Slam title by dint of victories over seeds Yanina Wickmayer, Jelena Jankovic and Kim Clijsters, moving her opponents left and right and concluding points with flowing forehands. And for the first half-a-dozen games, it looked as if she might be able to do likewise to the defending champion as Serena hit everything short, riding her luck with net cords and looking out of sor

• Day 9 Round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 1st July 2010

  Men's quarter-finals round-up   For the second day in succession, the tennis world shuddered to a temporary halt on its axis as a Wimbledon legend fell in the quarter-finals. After Venus Williams on Tuesday, it was the turn of none other than Roger Federer - Mr Centre Court himself - to bow out. Though it had a certain degree of shock value, the result will not have come as a complete surprise to observers of the game. Indeed, all the ingredients were in place: a good opponent (Tomas Berdych, the Czech No.12 seed who had defeated Federer in Miami earlier in the year and made the semis at Roland Garros), the right circumstances (Federer had been pushed to four and five sets by unheralded opposition in the first two rounds) and even

• Day 8 Round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 30th June 2010

  Day eight of the 2010 Championships promised much when the gates of the All England Club swung open, and, boy, did it deliver. And some. Ladies' quarter-finals day more than lived up to its billing - even if the storylines weren't quite those everyone expected. The final group of eight players featured its fair share of household names but at least two of the four who booked their places in Thursday's semi-finals will be relatively unknown to many. Few gave Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova much of a chance against the five-time champion and second seed Venus Williams, but from the very first point - when the world No.82 stunned an opponent ranked 80 places above her with a deft drop shot - Williams knew she was in for a scrap. In truth, t

• Day 7 Round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 29th June 2010

  To be absolutely certain of a great day's tennis, there are few things to beat a ticket to Wimbledon on Manic Monday. On this one afternoon all 16 contenders in both the men's and women's tournaments traditionally play for their place in quarter-finals, and for fans of the game it means you hardly know where to look first.Thus it was on Day Seven of the 2010 Championships, with pundits fighting to decide which was likely to be the match of the day. Most observers plumped for the all-Belgian clash between recent ex-retirees Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin. In fact the one they were talking about in the end came from a most unexpected quarter. The three-time finalist Andy Roddick faced the world number 82 Yen-Hsun Lu out on No.2 Court. As

• Murray has huge boost to self-belief Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 28th June 2010

  Andy Murray heads into today's last 16 admitting that his confidence has had a much-needed boost by the fact that he got through the first week without dropping a set. The No.4 seed has shown scant form since losing to Roger Federer in the final of the Australian Open five months ago, and even on the grass of Queen's earlier this month he went out in the last 16. But with three rounds of Wimbledon behind him, he is yet to surrender a set. As he prepares to face Sam Querrey in the fourth round, the Scot is grateful for the boost to his self-belief."The start has been very good and something that I needed for my confidence," he confessed. "I did feel I wasn't too far away from playing very good tennis again. I just needed to put more wo

• Day 6 Round up - Wimbledon Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 27th June 2010

  The world No.1s both made it through their third round ties, but while Serena Williams cruised and has dropped service only once in the tournament, Rafael Nadal was made to go the distance for the second match in a row.Nadal, the 2008 champion, extended his consecutive win streak here at Wimbledon to 11 but he once again suffered, at the hands of his opponent and his aching joints. Three times he was attended to by the ATP physio in his 6-4, 4-6, 6-7(5-7), 6-2, 6-3 win over No.33 seed Philipp Petzschner, once for his left elbow and twice briefly for his right knee during change-overs.The match also saw him issued a warning for allegedly receiving instructions from his coach. In the end, he did what he did against Robin Haase in the second r

• Day 5 Round up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 26th June 2010

  Twenty-four hours after Wimbledon had welcomed the Queen through its gates, tennis' own version of royalty - Roger Federer - was the star attraction on Day Five of the Championships as the Swiss continued his bid for a record-equaling seventh singles title on Centre Court. The top seed had huffed and puffed his way through five sets in the first round but this time needed just three. In truth, Frenchman Arnaud Clement was no match and the 16-time Grand Slam champion will be back on Monday after a routine 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory.While Federer goes on to meet Austrian Jurgen Melzer, probably the tastiest men's fourth round meeting was confirmed when Lleyton Hewitt and Novak Djokovic moved alongside one another in the draw. Third seed Djokovic

• Day 4 update Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 25th June 2010

  History came to the All England Club not once but twice on Day Four of the 2010 Championships. The Queen, as Patron of the Club, made her first visit since Ladies' Final Day in 1977, when she presented the Venus Rosewater Dish to the champion Virginia Wade. On this occasion it was a little too early in the tournament for any champions to be crowned, but the excitement her visit generated was a unique additional thrill for a generation or two of tennis fans.Her Majesty watched just one match from the Royal Box on the Centre Court, with her subject Andy Murray and the Finn Jarkko Niemenen given the honour of playing before her. Murray made short work of the task, to the approval of the home crowd. If the Queen's schedule had allowed her to

• Day 3 Round-up Wimbledon Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 24th June 2010

  While all eyes were on the record-breaking John Isner-Nicolas Mahut battle on Court 18, Dutchman Thiemo De Bakker and Colombian Santiago Giraldo were staging their own marathon encounter - a first round match held-over from Tuesday - that lasted deep into a fifth set. Ironically, or perhaps appropriately, the prize for the winner was a second round date with either Isner or Mahut and it was De Bakker who eventually triumphed with a 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 16-14 success. Another player who had to dig deep on Wednesday was Austrian 16th seed Jurgen Melzer (above), a recent French Open semi-finalist. The left-hander looked down and out when he trailed Serbia's Viktor Troicki by two sets to love in their round two meeting, only to pull out

• Record-breaking game at Wimbledon Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 23rd June 2010

  Wimbledon history has been made in a match so long the scoreboard broke down. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut served up the lengthiest contest of any tennis Grand Slam in a clash on Court 18 which saw the pair locked in battle after more than 100 games in the final set. With temperatures peaking at 28C (82F), players and fans were left "stunned" as they staggered through the fifth set. As the match entered its seventh hour, American Isner, the 23rd seed, and French grass-court specialist Mahut also broke the record for the number of aces served in a match at SW19. The titanic battle left the players visibly exhausted and at times struggling to walk as the final set hit three figures in games. Both players held their serve for an incredi

• Day 2 Round-up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 23rd June 2010

  All together now: breathe in... and relax. That's better. If day one of Wimbledon 2010 was a tad on the breathless side - what with unexpected five-setters and results teetering on the brink of the shocking, not to mention a late night finish - day two was altogether more tranquil. Beneath gorgeous summer sunshine, all was right with the Wimbledon world.Then again, perhaps Samantha Stosur would not see it that way. On Court 18 the French Open finalist and sixth seed fell to Kaia Kanepi, a qualifier ranked 80th in the world. With Roland Garros champion Francesca Schiavone going out yesterday, neither of the two women who made up such an unexpected final in France has been able to capitalise on that form here. Another lamented departure was

• Nadal makes happy return to Wimbledon Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 22nd June 2010

  Rafael Nadal looked like he had never been away as he made a welcome return to Wimbledon with a ruthless 6-2 6-4 6-4 win over Japanese wildcard Kei Nishikori on Tuesday. The Spanish world number one missed out on defending his title last June as he nursed his aching knees back home in Mallorca. On the second day of the championships, he was back on a sun-soaked Centre Court and wasted little time in tormenting an opponent who he had once tipped as a 'future top 10 player'. The 20-year-old Nishikori, on a comeback trail after missing most of the 2009 season with an elbow injury, had the audacity to break Nadal for 3-3 in the third set but his joy was short-lived. Nadal powered to victory with an overhead smash on match point to set up

• Day 1 Men's Round Up Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 22nd June 2010

  As is traditional on the opening day of the Championships, the top half of the men's draw took centre stage and there were some high quality first round encounters to entertain the fans packed inside the All England Club.No.11 seed Marin Cilic was the biggest casualty in the men's draw, decisively beaten by Germany's Florian Mayer in straight sets 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1). The 26-year-old German is ranked 47 places behind the Croat, but outclassed his 21-year-old opponent.At 4-4 in the third set, and facing three break points, Cilic staged a mini recovery, saving all three with some gritty play. Having refocused, the Croat forced a tie-break but the 11th seed's attention-span was short-lived, as the German grabbed an immediate mini-break and

• Tennis-Wimbledon-Federer has record on his mind Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 21st June 2010

  Wimbledon champion Roger Federer will step on to Centre Court today to face Colombia's Alejandro Falla with the prospect of a record-equalling seventh men's title on his mind. Asked if he had been thinking about Pete Sampras's modern-era record at the grasscourt grand slam, Federer said: "Well, maybe, obviously a little bit because I'm aware of the great things he achieved, being one title away from it. "But then again, you have to break it down and make it simple for yourself, trying to win the first round, being here, trying to defend the title before everything." The Swiss top seed plays Falla for the third time in consecutive tournaments, having beaten him at the French Open and Halle. Last year's beaten Wimbledon finalist,

• Federer back from the brink Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 21st June 2010

  Defending champion Roger Federer came back from the brink as he narrowly avoided becoming the casualty of the greatest upset in Wimbledon history. Federer was two sets down to unheralded Alejandro Falla and the Colombian then served for the match in the fourth set before losing 5-7 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7/1) 6-0. Only two defending champions had ever lost in the first round at the All England Club and Federer had to use all his fighting spirit to avoid becoming the third. The six-time champion, looking to equal Pete Sampras' record of seven this year, was not at his brilliant best but was far from shabby. Falla, on the other hand, played the match of his life. The left-hander more than lived with Federer from the back of the court, looked a th

• Maria Sharapova serves up a warning. Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 14th June 2010

  Maria Sharapova served up a 121mph sizzler at Edgbaston yesterday to underline her impressive return to form ahead of Wimbledon. Having finally recovered from a career-threatening shoulder injury, the 2004 Wimbledon champion could hardly believe her own power in the Birmingham sunshine. She beat Wimbledon wildcard Alison Riske 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 to reach the final of the AEGON Classic. There she will play Na Li, of China, who beat Aravane Rezai 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. But it was Sharapova's booming serve that had everyone talking. The 23-year-old said: 'That 121mph serve is my fastest ever. I don't know where it came from. 'There was a time when didn't know if I'd play tennis again, let alone serve harder than before. It must be

• Wimbledon Church Road, London Middlesex England

  Published: 14th June 2010

  Welcome to Church Road, the home of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the most sought after title on the tennis calendar. The Wimbledon Championships, or simply Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is generally considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name. The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with the ladies' and gentlemens' singles final, scheduled respectively for the second Saturday and Sunday. Each year, five major even
