2015 WIMBLEDON TENNIS
ESPN, 8:00 a.m. ET
Yesterday, as promised, was an exciting day of tennis at Wimbledon. Serena Williams faced, and defeated gracefully, elder sister Venus. Roger Federer advanced to the quarterfinals with an impressive showing of skill, patience and nerve, as did Andy Murray. And defending champion Novak Djokovic (pictured), after losing the first two sets in tough tiebreakers to towering (6’8”), cannon-serving Kevin Anderson, evened the match by taking the next two sets, in a grueling duel that was stopped after four sets and just over three hours, because of fading light. Their final set will be played this morning, which ESPN will telecast live – along with all the women’s matches in this year’s quarterfinals. Three Americans are in the women’s quarterfinals: Serena Williams, CoCo Vendeweghe and Madison Keys. Along with the USA taking the World Cup in women’s soccer Sunday, it’s been a great week for American female athletes.
