Melzer, Petzschner win men’s doubles
Austria's Juergen Melzer and Germany's Philipp Petzschner won the Wimbledon men's doubles title with a straight sets victory over Sweden's Robert Lindstedt and Romania's Horia Tecau on Saturday. The unseeded pair beat the 16th seeds 6-1, 7-5, 7-5 on Centre Court. Melzer and Petzschner take home £240 000 between them, while the runners-up receive £120 000 to share. It was the first time since 2005 that an unseeded pair had reached the Wimbledon final. Both pairs had reached the Wimbledon final in their first season together, and all four players were looking for their first Grand Slam men's doubles title. Melzer and Petzschner first teamed ...
SA’s Anderson still on the fence for tie
On a reconnaissance mission to Wimbledon, South African Davis Cup captain John-Laffnie de Jager revealed from London on Sunday that the country's number one tennis player, Kevin Anderson, was still "sitting on the fence" regarding his availability for the crucial World Group play-off against Germany in September. "But at the same time," added De Jager, "Kevin left me with hope that he would end his two-year absence from the Davis Cup against the tough Germans - something we definitely need if we are to get back to the elite World Group from what is an awkward away encounter." The good news emerging ...
Paes, Black win mixed doubles title
Cara Black and Leander Paes overcame some early jitters to win the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in straight sets on Sunday. India's Paes and Black from Zimbabwe strolled on Centre Court after Rafael Nadal had won the men's singles and took their second grand slam title of the year after the Australian Open with a 6-4 7-6 victory against South Africa's Wesley Moodie and Lisa Raymond from the Unites States. The title is Paes's third mixed doubles crown at Wimbledon, following wins in 1999 and 2003, while Black had previously won in 2004. A topsy-turvy opening set had five breaks of serve as ...
Nadal cruises past Berdych to win second title
Rafael Nadal made a simple job of winning his second Wimbledon men's crown, swatting aside the giant Czech Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in two hours 13 minutes. Those who had feared that the 6ft 5in Berdych would be overwhelmed, but not overawed, were proved correct as Nadal never dropped serve in three routine sets, centring his winning attack on that formidable forehand, the best shot of its kind in tennis. Nadal came into the final having won six straight matches against Berdych, accumulating 14 sets in doing so, and those statistics were extended to 17 sets with no discernible problem. This ...
Lucky No.13 For Serena
LONDON, England - World No.1 Serena Williams kept adding to her grand legacy in London, defeating Vera Zvonareva in straight sets for her fourth Wimbledon crown and 13th overall Grand Slam title. Williams, the No.1 seed, and Zvonareva, No.21, went toe-to-toe from the baseline in the first six games of the match, but from 3-all Williams' big stage experience really began to shine, as she took the power level up a notch - particularly on her serve and crosscourt backhand - and she took a 6-3 first set. After winning the first set at a major Williams was 174-3, and after winning ...
