Rooney chant

“I didn’t think of it, but when you say it, it’s true. I guess it’s not the worst thing. It’s great. They’re showing really, really good support and it’s a nice feeling to be out there first of all with many Danes and British people that are wishing me the best. It feels good. Hopefully I can bring some more good tennis.”

Wimbledon first

It’s at all times a participant’s aim to enter the historical past books at Wimbledon and Ekaterina Alexandrova created her personal document by changing into the primary participant to win a triple-tiebreak match at SW19 within the Open period. The No 21 seed was up towards American Madison Brengle with nothing separating the 2 in all three units.

But it was Alexandrova who in the end got here out on prime within the third set Championship tiebreak, profitable 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (10-7). One for the purists that one!
