Tennis: Novak Djokovic has walked out of an interview with the BBC after the Serbian star took issue with numerous questions regarding his reaction to the Wimbledon crowd.
Ash Barty has made a victorious return to the scene of her greatest triumph on Wimbledon’s Centre Court three years to the day after she won the celebrated title she had dreamt of as a girl.
The Queenslander was at her home base in London making lunch for her son Hayden when she received an email saying that their match against Andrea Petkovic and Magdalena Rybarikova had been scheduled on Centre Court due to Alex de Minaur’s injury misfortune. “It’s a beautiful court. It’s, in my opinion, the best court in the world. I was very grateful and very fortunate that we were able to share an experience out there again today together.”
“It changed so much in my life. It was my dream. It was my childhood dream to win this tournament, to win The Championships,” she said.“I was able to do that. I was fortunate enough to be in a position to play on such a beautiful court on a Saturday afternoon that every athlete wants to play it was really nice to go out there today and reminisce a little bit.
Although the pace of play was a couple of clicks slower – and that is being generous – the class of the Australian stood out and there was still some brilliant tennis played.
