    Wimbledon recap: Pride in London brings few rainbows to All England Club
    Court 14 just witnessed a big upset in the men's doubles draw. Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz, the No. 3 seeds, have gone out against Rinky Hijikata and David Pel.
    Krawietz and Pütz had 0-40 on Hijikata's serve for a 5-3 lead in the second set, but blew all three chances before being broken themselves to go down 4-5 instead.
    Pel then served out the win.

    Khachanov 6-4, 6-2, *0-1 Majchrzak
    Gee whiz, Karen Khachanov isn't hanging around.
    The 17th seed has taken the second set 6-2 against Kamil Majchrzak and has won 12 games in the time his opponent has won six.
    One more set from the fifth round!
    That is a beauty from Adidas, Caoimhe.
    Wonder if they're still selling jackets with the same pattern.
    Shut up and take my money, would be the response if so.
    I spent the morning down at Wimbledon’s museum and fell in love with this Adidas outfit from 1988 worn by Steffi Graf as she won the final against Martina Navratilova.
    This was before the dress code was as strict as it is today.
    And look at the stars, look how they shine for you.
    A vintage masterpiece.
    Success today for Cruz Hewitt, son of two-time major winner and 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia.
    Cruz… cruised into the round of 32 with a thumping victory on Court 9 this morning against Savva Rybkin, 6-1, 6-2.
    Emphatic.

    Khachanov 6-4, 0-0* Majchrzak
    Karen Khachanov does indeed hold on and take his second set point.
    World No. 109 Majchrzak trails the 17th seed.
    A contrast in emotions.
    Game face on for Kartal, who plays fellow unseeded player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Centre Court this afternoon.
    Looking very cheery!
    She must have been gifted a subscription to The Athletic, or something.
    Probably.
    Khachanov 4-2* Majchrzak
    It's been a good start for 17th seed Karen Khachanov today on No. 2 Court.
    He won three games in a row, breaking Kamil Majchrzak, and just held to make it 4-2 in the first set.
    Two more holds and the set will be his.

    🎾 Men’s singles, 12 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN+
    Andrey Rublev (14) vs. Carlos Alcaraz (2)
    Alcaraz has mostly survived, rather than thrived at Wimbledon 2025.
    For Andrey Rublev, his second-week run is redemptive, after a first-round meltdown here last year which took him to a dark place.
    🎾 Women’s singles, 11 a.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN+
    Linda Nosková (30) vs. Amanda Anisimova (13)
    Two of the purest ball-strikers on the WTA Tour face each other on a fast court.
    This should, simply put, be cinema.
    Good morning from SW19.
    I got here before the crowds were allowed on site so that means you see the final touches being made by staff.
    Like this gardener doing a last minute bit of dead-heading to make the flower beds near Centre Court’s plush entrance look pristine.
    This place really is British tennis utopia.
    The top side of the women's singles draw is in action today.
    Lucky loser Solana Sierra has surpassed a lot of expectations to get this far, and she faces another unseeded player in Laura Siegemund, the doubles specialist. Top seed Aryna Sabalenka probably awaits the winner, though.
    The winner of two fine hitters in Nosková vs. Anisimova (more on them shortly) will fancy their chances of reaching the semifinals, given they will face an unseeded player in their last-eight tie.
    But don't bet against the British hope Sonay Kartal, who will have the Wimbledon crowds firmly behind her…
    With the bottom side of the men's bracket in action today, there is a theoretical scenario in which only one seeded player could be in the two quarterfinals on that side of the draw.
    Qualifier Nicolás Jarry remains, too.
    Things look a bit sterner on the top side of the draw, with Sinner, Djokovic, and Shelton the biggest names there. They're all in action tomorrow, also live on The Athletic, of course.
    Rise and shine, sleepy heads, it's go time at SW19.
    Beginning imminently: Karen Khachanov (17) vs. Scrabble player's dream Kamil Majchrzak, plus three matches in the men's doubles:

    An iconic look, to be fair.
    Double glasses?
    The Athletic respects it.
    Union Jack make-up, I presume.
    Queueing, as well as being an extremely well respected British pastime, is also firmly on display at SW19 over the fortnight.
    Fans queue up outside the grounds for the chance to buy premium tickets on the day of play, with some even camping out overnight or getting there before dawn to ensure their placement in The Queue.
    So let's take you through some of the best images from those waiting to get in to the All England Club today!
