Wimbledon passes on announcements with an aura of grandeur that often outstrips the issue itself. The second Tuesday though, brought about a communiqué that outlined a sad statistic, at least where US players are concerned. This is the first time since 1911 that no Americans remain in competition in either the women or men’s side of the draws.
Not often has the United States enjoyed more success on the soccer field than on the tennis court, but that has been the case over the past fortnight. While the American men's national team advanced out of a brutal World Cup group to play Belgium in the round of 16 on Tuesday afternoon, not a single American man or woman reached the fourth round of the Wimbledon singles event.

Before the middle Sunday of no play at Wimbledon, the third round will wrap up with what should be a bang on Saturday. Both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are back in action and taking on unseeded opponents. Perhaps the most intriguing matchup pits John Isner against Feliciano Lopez.
The round of 32 will take final shape after action is completed on Thursday. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are expected to be among those still alive, but the two former champions do not have easy second-round matchups on their hands.
The second day of action at the All-England Club will feature several past champions, including Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Lleyton Hewitt. Jerzy Janowicz, a semifinalist in 2013, is also in action. So, too, are Wimbledon marathon men John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.
It was another fantastic day of tennis @theboodles. It was really everything a day of lawn tennis should be. It has something to offer for everyone. What a truly glorious wonderful place and event.
Wimbledon top seed, Novak Djokovic arrived at The Boodles in a HR Owen silver Bentley with intent on playing his first match on grass this year against the Dutchman, Robin Haase. However following some sponsor commitments on site, after some consideration the world number two decided, as a precaution, not to play the match.
Pancho maybe at Eastbourne but I'm in tennis in wonderland. The day was gorgeous and the setting so elegant it reminds one of days gone by. If you are London check the website below for some AMAZING tennis all week.
The lawns have been prepared, the champagne chilled and the players are ready for play at The Boodles 2014. Day one, Tuesday 17th June, is set to be a great start to a fantastic week of tennis at Stoke Park with established stars and up and coming talent on display.
The full entry list for the BB&T Atlanta Open, the first stop during this summer's U.S. Open Series, was revealed earlier this week. Among others rounding out the field are Lleyton Hewitt, Radek Stepanek, Dmitry Tursunov, Vasek Pospisil, and 2013 runner-up Kevin Anderson.
Light--or lack thereof--is once again an issue at Roland Garros. As a result, we are still missing one of the eight fourth-round matchups as the season's second Grand Slam hits its second week. Safely through, however, are Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
