Not a bad day's work for women's tennis. In new Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, it has a new star. In runner-up Maria Sharapova, it has a star reborn.

Once a teen sensation, Maria Sharapova is the elder stateswoman at Wimbledon this year.

While cricket has accepted the Decision Review System without the Hawk-Eye, Wimbledon has deployed one of its own. Though they have taken the term quite literally.

Two sporting legends Sachin Tendulkar and Roger Federer met on the sidelines of the ongoing Wimbledon championships Saturday and chatted at length in the Royal Box.

Spain's world number one Rafael Nadal says he prefers to play against his main rival Roger Federer of Switzerland, who he defeated during the final of the French Open earlier this month.

Serena Williams has been known to say she isn't satisfied with this or that aspect of her game, even after easily winning a match, say, 6-3, 6-2.

Even with an ailing right leg, Rafael Nadal can conjure some of his best tennis.

Returning to Grand Slam tennis after a year out with health problems, Serena Williams opened her Wimbledon title defense on Tuesday by beating Aravane Rezai in three sets — then burst into tears on Centre Court.

Removing her shoe, Serena Williams revealed the scar that starts atop her right foot and meanders up her leg.

For all that Maria Sharapova already has accomplished in tennis, a Grand Slam title now would be more gratifying than those from the past.
