#SW21 / @SW19 – ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED – WONDERFUL WILLIAMS WINS WIMBLEDON BY GLOBAL CHICK

With all the talk about nerves, and (perhaps even more disrespectfully) how Muguruza was just happy to be there, it was perhaps a stark reminder that even the great and the good get the jitters.

Today was going to be all about the men – as the mighty ATP warriors made their bid for a place in the Wimbledon final...

SERENA SLAMS SHARAPOVA & AGGIE RADWANSKA LOSES TO MUGURUZA AT WIMBLEDON 2015 SEMI FINALS

One of the things I always enjoy doing is passing the time of day with the hard working souls on the press desk. After the stress of the potential travel disruption setting the tone for the day, it has to be noted that Day 9 seems to be a bugbear in Slam coverage.

AT WIMBLEDON TODAY: RAIN COMES DOWN, ROOF STAYS OPEN, TWITTER GOES MENTAL – GLOBAL CHICK’S DAY 9 DIARY

As if the pouring rain that beat my alarm clock to the pip this morning was not enough, a strike by tube workers (that’s the underground/metro to you at the back) made for a fairly grumpy start to the day.

10SBALLS ‘GLOBAL CHICK’S’ WIMBLEDON 2015 DIARY, WHEN IS A ROOF NOT A ROOF?

When is a roof not a roof? No, really this is a serious question. On perhaps the most inclement of days at Wimbledon 2015, when should the roof be pressed into service?

WIMBLEDON TENNIS NEWS & RESULTS: MURRAY BEATS KARLOVIC, SERENA BEATS BIG SIS VENUS AND MORE

With the bottom of the Ladies Singles draw pretty much ripped apart after Jelena Jankovic bounced defending champion Petra Kvitova out of the draw, the scene was set for more surprises on Manic Monday.

WIMBLEDON TENNIS 2015 UPSETS AND UPDATES AND FINALLY MIDDLE SUNDAY IS A DAY OFF BY GLOBAL CHICK

After the rain, the thunder and the lightning of last night came fireworks and glitter for all as Jelena Jankovic pulled off arguably the shock of the tournament so far, ousting defending champion Petra Kvitova 3-6 7-5 6-4.

WIMBLEDON UPDATE: MARIA SHARAPOVA WON, GRIGOR DIMITROV LOST & SERENA & HEATHER WATSON HAD A BATTLE FOR THE AGES & ISNER / CILIC STOP AT 10-10 TO BE CONTINUED…

Has it really only been a week? Well with just one more day of the first week left, the first of the second-weekers booked their spots on a fiery Friday.

WIMBLEDON 2015 TENNIS NEWS AND VIEWS FROM 10SBALLS ‘GLOBAL CHICK’ REPORTS ON ANDY MURRAY AND THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL

With Wimbledon literally melting yesterday (including a small fire in Centre Court late into the evening) it was probably with some relief that the day started a gentle sprinkling of rain...

BETHANIE MATTEK-SANDS STEAMS PAST ANA IVANOVIC – GLOBAL CHICK’S WIMBLEDON DIARY

Phew what a scorcher – that is generally the perceived feeling as this searing ball of flame in the sky is sending everyone all of a dither.

VERY HOT @ WIMBLEDON TODAY, FEDERER, MURRAY, AND EVEN RAFA ALL PLAYED “FAST” GLOBAL CHICK CHECKS IN, EITHER THE HEAT GOT TO HER OR THE PIMMS….

It was all about the ladies at the start of the day, but goodness me, if you’d blinked you missed it. Petra Kvitova has been one of our ones to watch.

WIMBLEDON TENNIS NEWS, GOSSIP AND MORE FROM LONDON BROUGHT TO YOU BY GLOBAL CHICK

Oh my – it’s FINALLY here. Did you see that blur? That was me, whizzing to the head of the Pimm’s queue, asking sweetly for not too much ice, surreptitiously pocketing a sachet of sugar to sweeten the strawberries and cream.

GLOBAL CHICK GIVES US HER WRAP FROM EASTBOURNE TENNIS 2015 WON BY BELINDA BENCIC OVER AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA

There must be something in the water in Switzerland. These Swiss seem to have a knack on playing on the green stuff, which is strange as Bencic admitted to us on Friday that they don’t actually have grass courts there.

TENNIS DRAWS AND WITHDRAWS – GLOBAL CHICK’S EASTBOURNE FRIDAY

It is always a bit mental on Wimbledon draw day. Those of us who scamper into the media centre listen intently to the draw being done on the ‘wireless’ (albeit digitally via our electronic typing machines), and we frantically analyse every last permutation before galloping out for a bit of tennis.

WIMBLEDON TENNIS 2015 – GLOBAL CHICK PERUSES THE GENTLEMEN’S DRAW

Having scooted off to get a first look at defending champion Novak Djokovic on the grass (and that included the whole helicopter deal) your intrepid Global Chick galloped back to Eastbourne as fast as her steed could carry her to be back in time for the Men’s draw this morning.
