12 of the top 16 seeds made it to the last 16. 3 unseeded players. Just one qualifier, a lucky loser in fact. | |

How out of touch are the ATP? Apparently, effectively immediately after Wimbledon, ball kids will once again be required to hand lazy players their sweaty, germ infested, towels. Gross.... "Board approved a rule change to permit players to request and be handed towels between points, as was customary before the COVID-19 pandemic. All ATP tournaments must accommodate this provision. This rule change will take effect starting after Wimbledon." (Sorry, nothing to do with Wimby) | |

Seems like Zverev wasnt very happy with Fritz either although not sure if it was Fritz playing lots of drop shots or Fritz girlfriend in the box making some comments towards Zverev | |
