Novak Djokovic lost the Wimbledon 2023 final versus Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller on Sunday (July 16). The Serbian was a favourite to lift the title, which would have been his 24th&nbsp;Grand Slam title and eighth Wimbledon trophy.&nbsp;But the Spaniard was the better player in the summit clash, winning 1-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 to lift his second major title and maiden championship at the All England Club on a packed Centre Court.

While Djokovic missed a golden opportunity to extend his Grand Slam tally, he was visibly upset when the going got tough in the marquee finale. Emotions were flying high and Djokovic even lost his cool as he smashed his racquet at the Centre Court net post. Wimbledon has now levied a hefty fine on him for&nbsp;damaging a property with his racquet.&nbsp;

The incident took place during the final set when the game had intensified. After Djokovic was broken early to give his opponent the much-needed confidence to wrap up the contest, the Serbian went back towards his bench and vented out his frustration on the racquet. He smashed it on the&nbsp;Centre Court net-post, leaving a dent mark. As a result, he was immediately given a code violation warning by the chair umpire. Earlier, he had also been&nbsp;warned for time violation.

A day after the summit clash, second-ranked Djokovic was handed a fine of $8,000 (£6,117). It will be cut from his runner-up cheque which accounts for a whopping £1.175 million ($1.53mn).

Despite being pointed out for his racquet smash act, Djokovic refused to apologise during the post-match press conference.&nbsp;At the presser, the 36-year-old said: "There's not much to talk about that. The second one was frustration. I had break points in the second game. Yeah, just tough, tough couple of points. He played amazingly to break my serve, which was enough to win the fifth. The first one was the time violation, so yeah. Not a great moment again, but you just kind of have to accept it."

The Serbian also reflected on his defeat to 20-year-old Alcaraz. He said, "I've won many close matches here down the years, maybe I should have lost a couple of finals that I won so it's even Stevens," said Djokovic. "It's a tough one to swallow when you are so close. I lost to the better player and I have to congratulate him and move on."

While Ralph Lauren has been the chosen outfitter for the ball boys and girls on the tennis court since 2006, he also seemed to be the unofficial designer of choice for 2023 Wimbledon, since the majority of the spectators were seen dressed in stylish Ralph Lauren ensembles.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, players have to adhere strictly to the dress code of tennis whites, with no exceptions unless they want to face hefty fines, as seen with Nick Kyrgios last year.

Emma Watson to Kate Middleton: Best-dressed celebs at this year's Wimbledon

Tearful Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur described her third defeat in a Grand Slam final as the "most painful" of her career as she vowed to learn from the tennis greats who were also jinxed at the majors.

World number six Jabeur was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by unseeded Czech Marketa Vondrousova on Saturday, one year after she lost the Wimbledon final to Elena Rybakina.

More pain followed at the US Open later in the year where she was runner-up again, this time to Iga Swiatek.

The 28-year-old is only the eighth woman to lose her first three Grand Slam finals.

However, she can take comfort from knowing that the likes of Chris Evert, Kim Clijsters and Simona Halep also suffered the same fate before going on to capture Grand Slam titles.

"It will be tough to speak. I am going to look ugly in the photos so that's not going to help," said Jabeur after again being thwarted in her bid to become the first Arab or African woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.

"I think this is the most painful loss of my career."

She added defiantly: "I promise I will come back one day and win this tournament."

Former world number one Clijsters lost the 2001 and 2003 French Open finals, the US Open title match in 2003 and the Australian Open final in 2004.

But the Belgian eventually ended her career as a four-time major champion, winning her first in New York in 2005.

"I love Kim so much. She's a great inspiration for me," said Jabeur who was consoled by Clijsters behind the scenes at Centre Court.

"The fact that she takes the time to give me advice and to really hug me, always be there for me, I think it's priceless.&nbsp;

"She was telling me all the time she lost four. That's why I know the information, otherwise would have been tough. But, yeah, that's the positive out of it. You cannot force things. It wasn't meant to be."

<h2>Hugs from a princess</h2>

The popular Jabeur also received a warm embrace from Kate, the Princess of Wales, who presented the trophies.

"She didn't know if she wants to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me. That was a very nice moment and she's always nice to me," Jabeur said.

When asked what Princess Kate told her following, she revealed: "Same thing after last year.

"To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon. Obviously she was very nice."

Jabeur led 2-0 and 4-2 in the first set on Saturday before the 24-year-old Vondrousova hit back.

The Tunisian's 15 unforced errors in the first set were key as the Czech left-hander committed a miserly six.

Jabeur was 3-1 ahead in the second set but still couldn't convert the advantage as Vondrousova, who missed last year's Wimbledon due to wrist surgery, mounted another comeback.

"It's painful because you feel so close to achieving something that you want, and actually back to square one," added Jabeur.

"Again, I just try to get rid of these negative thoughts and continue being positive."

IN PICS| Last six Wimbledon women's singles champions

Ons Jabeur and Marketa&nbsp;Vondrousova are set to lock horns in the women's singles final at Wimbledon 2023. On Thursday (July 13), Jabeur had a face-off with Aryna Sabalenka&nbsp;and emerged on top 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 whereas the Czech player Vondrousova ended a memorable&nbsp;run of&nbsp;Elina Svitolina with a 6-3 6-3 win. With this, she became the first unseeded ladies’ singles Wimbledon finalist in the Open Era.&nbsp;

<h2>How Jabeur entered the final</h2>

Sabalenka faced Jabeur in the second semi-final, later in the day. The two kicked off the proceedings in stye as the game was competitive from the word go. The Belarusian player took the opening set after it went to the tiebreaker. Tied at 6-6, Sabalenka won 7-6 by winning the tiebreaker 7-5. However, Jabeur brought her A-game from there on.

Tunisia's Jabeur was on the lead from the second set. She was at her best with her serves -- with a win percentage of over 70 in first and second serve. She held her own to win the second and penultimate set 6-4 and remained dominant to seal the game by winning the third and final set 6-3. She had conceded her first set in her quarter-final face-off with&nbsp;third-seeded defending champion Kazakh Elena Rybakina to win&nbsp;6-7(5) 6-4 6-1.

<h2>Vondrousova ends new mum Svitolina's run 
 
&nbsp;</h2>

In the first semi-final,&nbsp;Vondrousova was at her very best from the beginning. She dominated from the onset against the new mum Elina Svitolina to grab a 6-3 6-3 victory and reach the Wimbledon final for the first time.

It is to be noted that&nbsp;Vondrousova-Svitolina's clash&nbsp;was the first Wimbledon women's semi-final featuring two unseeded players. Prior to the game, the&nbsp;24-year-old Vondrousova was in awe of her opposition and heaped praise on Svitolina. She&nbsp;described her as "incredible", "amazing", "a fighter" and "a super woman" for making it to the top four&nbsp;just after nine months post giving birth to her daughter Skai.

However, Vondrousova displayed no mercy on the court, winning 6-3, 6-3 in straight sets. She relied on her aces and&nbsp;service points.

She was all praise for the 28-year-old Svitolina after the game. "I cannot believe it. I am very happy that I made the final. Elina is such a fighter and a great person," said the Czech player. Vondrousova added, "I was crazy nervous. I was leading 4-0 in the second set and she fought back."

The Czech player won't have it easy versus Jabeur, who is eyeing her maiden Grand Slam title after ending second thrice (twice in Wimbledon, including last year, once in US Open).

"I'm very happy with the performance -- a lot of emotion out there, especially playing someone that serves really well," she said.

"It's frustrating to return but I'm glad I did everything, shouted, got angry, then got calm and focused and hopefully I can manage my emotions like this for the next two matches."

Rybakina was first to pounce, breaking to love in the fourth game when Jabeur went wide with a backhand but the Tunisian hit back immediately.

Jabeur took advantage of a loose volley at the net from Rybakina to break again and edge into a 6-5 lead.

But this time she was the player who failed to consolidate, squandering a set point as Rybakina forced a tie-break, which she won.

The Kazakh survived break points in the second game of the second set while Jabeur was forced to dig deep on her serve to move into a 3-2 lead.

Both players held serve until the 10th game, when Rybakina cracked and Jabeur levelled the match.

The force was with Jabeur in the decider as she opened up a 3-0 lead and saved two break points to move 4-1 ahead.

Jabeur powered a backhand down the line to break once again and&nbsp;held her serve to seal the win, letting out a roar of delight.

Wimbledon 2023: Ons Jabeur beats defending champion Elena Rybakina to enter semifinals

Carlos Alcaraz saw off Holger Rune in straight sets on Wednesday to stay on course for a Wimbledon title showdown against defending champion Novak Djokovic.

The top seed won the key moments during the quarter-final on Centre Court to progress 7-6 (7/3), 6-4, 6-4 and will play Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals.

The Spaniard faced just one break point in the entire match, which he snuffed out, hitting 35 winners against 13 unforced errors.

"Honestly, it is amazing for me," said Alcaraz after beating his friend. "It's been a dream since I started playing tennis."

The US Open champion, who now has 10 straight wins on grass, was delighted with his performance against his fellow 20-year-old.

"I am playing at a great level. I didn't expect to play a great level on this surface," he said. "For me, it is crazy."

He said he found it tough at the beginning of the match, especially with Rune on the other side of the net.

"But once you get into the quarter-finals there's no friends," he added. "You have to be focused on yourself and I think I did great in that part."

There was just a single break point created in the first set, which almost inevitably went to a tie-break.

The start of the breaker was tight but Rune's double-fault gave Alcaraz a 4/3 lead and he won the next three points to take the first set.

It was a similar story in the second set until Rune dumped a forehand smash into the net in the ninth game to give the Spaniard break point.

Alcaraz made no mistake, smoking a backhand down the line to break and holding with ease to move two sets up.

He broke again in the fifth game of the third set, giving Rune a mountain to climb.

The Danish star saved one match point on his own serve but was powerless to stem the tide as Alcaraz served out to reach the last four at the All England Club for the first time.

Alcaraz is the youngest semi-finalist at Wimbledon since Djokovic in 2007.

The Serbian faces Italian eighth seed Jannik Sinner in Friday's other semi-final.

Alcaraz is aiming to become the third-youngest player to win the&nbsp;Wimbledon&nbsp;men's singles crown in the Open Era.&nbsp;

If he captures his second major at the All England Club, he is guaranteed to remain as world number one.

Wimbledon 2023 Semifinals: How and where to watch Sabalenaka vs Jabeur live on TV, laptop

Aryna Sabalenka reached the semifinals at Wimbledon for the second straight time, with a one-year break in between because she was banned from the tournament in 2022.

Sabalenka, a Belarusian who is seeded second at the All England Club, had to sit out last year's competition along with other players from her country and from Russia because of the war in Ukraine. She advanced Wednesday by beating Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 on No. 1 Court.

"It really feels amazing to be back in the semifinals. I can't wait to play in my second semifinal at Wimbledon,” said Sabalenka, who lost to runner-up Karolina Pliskova in 2021. “Hopefully I can do better than I did last time.”

The victory improved Sabalenka's record to 17-1 at major tournaments this year. She won the Australian Open and reached the semifinals at the French Open before her five wins so far on the grass at Wimbledon.

Sabalenka also improved her record to 6-0 in Grand Slam quarterfinal matches, and she did so despite much of the cheering going toward Keys on Wednesday.

“Thank you so much for the atmosphere, even though you supported her more,” Sabalenka said on court. “I still enjoyed playing in front of you guys.”

Sabalenka will next face either defending champion Elena Rybakina or Ons Jabuer. They were playing in another quarterfinal match on Centre Court.

Later Wednesday in the men's quarterfinals, top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz was scheduled to face Holger Rune on Centre Court. Daniil Medvedev was to play Chris Eubanks on No. 1 Court.

Queen Camilla was in attendance on Day 10 of the tournament, about a week after Kate, the Princess of Wales, sat in the Royal Box.

Sabalenka also improved her record to 6-0 in Grand Slam quarterfinal matches, and she did so despite much of the cheering going toward Keys on Wednesday. “Thank you so much for the atmosphere, even though you supported her more,” Sabalenka said on court. “I still enjoyed playing in front of you guys.” Sabalenka will next face either defending champion Elena Rybakina or Ons Jabuer. They were playing in another quarterfinal match on Centre Court. Later Wednesday in the men's quarterfinals, top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz was scheduled to face Holger Rune on Centre Court. Daniil Medvedev was to play Chris Eubanks on No. 1 Court. Queen Camilla was in attendance on Day 10 of the tournament, about a week after Kate, the Princess of Wales, sat in the Royal Box.

Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka beats Madison Keys in straight sets to enter last four

Daniil Medvedev battled back to defeat unseeded Christopher Eubanks in five sets and reach his first Wimbledon semi-final on Wednesday.

The world number three from Russia triumphed 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-1 and will face either top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz or sixth seed Holger Rune for a place in Sunday's final.

Former US Open champion Medvedev hit 52 winners compared to Eubanks' 74 but crucially committed just a meagre 13 unforced errors to his opponent's 55.

Eubanks, who had shocked fifth-ranked Stefanos Tsistipas in the previous round, was attempting to become just the third man to reach the semi-finals on debut.

However, the 27-year-old's challenge fizzled out in the final set of a bruising, big-hitting contest.

"After the first set, I didn't want to go five sets but when I lost the third, I was happy to go five," said Medvedev who fired 28 aces.

"There were moments in the match when I was losing the game so to say and he was playing well.

"I started to sink and make mistakes but after the third set I started to build something. I had more opportunities in the fourth set and after the tiebreak I played amazing."

Medvedev was untroubled in the opening set, carving out the only break in the third game before claiming the opener in which he committed just one unforced error to 11 for Eubanks.

However, the American soon found his range with his one-handed backhand, pocketing a double break in the second set before levelling the quarter-final with his seventh ace.

The world number 43 had his tail up and a break in the opening game of the third set was the platform as he moved towards a two sets to one lead.

A frustrated Medvedev was handed a code violation for lobbing a ball that hit a courtside camera operator in the eighth game.

An unreturned serve gave Eubanks the set.

Serve dominated the fourth set as Eubanks passed 100 aces for the tournament but it was the more composed Medvedev who claimed the tiebreaker when the American buried a backhand volley into the net.

Suddenly the spirit seeped out of Eubanks' all-out attacking game as he slipped to a key double break down in the decider.

Wimbledon 2023: Daniil Medvedev beats unseeded Christopher Eubanks to reach semifinals

Carlos Alcaraz eased past Italian dark horse Matteo Berrettini, 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-3, on Monday (July 10) to reach the last eight of Wimbledon 2023. While he did lose the opening set, he came to his own in the following ones to dominate proceedings and move ahead in the tournament. Meanwhile, Danish player Holger Rune also lost his first set in his face-off versus Grigor Dimitrov and was pushed to a considerable extent before coming on top, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, to reach the quarter-finals where he will now face Alcaraz.

The face-off between Alcaraz and Rune is keenly awaited, being touted to be a future rivalry on the court. Their quarter-final clash is set to create history. It will be the&nbsp;first Wimbledon quarter-final in the Open Era featuring two players under 21. Thus, a lot of eyes will be on the upcoming battle.&nbsp;

Wimbledon 2023: Alcaraz vs Rune tie to create history, first QF in Open Era featuring two U-21 players

Novak Djokovic reached his 12th Wimbledon semi-final and record-equalling 46th at the Grand Slams with a four-set victory over Andrey Rublev on Tuesday.

The Serb, chasing an eighth title at the All England Club and 24th career major, came through 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 and will face Italy's Jannik Sinner for a place in the final.

Djokovic has now reached as many semi-finals at the Slams as the retired Roger Federer.

The 36-year-old was playing in his 400th Grand Slam match and insisted he was enjoying being the man to beat.

"I love it. Any player wants to be in the position where all the other players want to beat you," he said after preserving his record of not being defeated on Centre Court since 2013.

"The pressure never goes away every time I come on court."

"They want to get a scalp and the win -- but it ain't happening!"

Rublev, the world number seven, has now lost all eight quarter-finals he has played at the majors.

However, he enjoyed a promising start against a player who allowed him just seven games when they met at the same stage of the Australian Open in January.

Djokovic saw three break points come and go in the first set and was made to pay when Rublev broke for a 5-4 lead.

The 25-year-old Russian claimed the opener in the next game when Djokovic netted a service return.

That was the second set dropped by Djokovic at Wimbledon this year and he was suitably fired up in response.

He raced to a 5-0 lead in the second set, allowing Rublev just six points in that stretch, before going on to level the quarter-final.

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

In the third set, Djokovic saved two break points in the second game, broke in the fifth and moved to a two sets to one lead in the 10th game.

It was not a smooth conversion, however, with the champion needing five set points to finish the job while at the same time saving three break points.

The outcome was inevitable as he broke for a 2-1 lead in the fourth before wrapping up the match having fired 42 winners past Rublev.

Djokovic into 12th Wimbledon semi-final, 46th at Grand Slams

'Super Mom' Elina Svitolina has reached the semifinals of the Wimbledon ladies singles Championships after a major upset saw her get the better of number one seed Iga Swiatek. A contest that lasted three sets saw the majestic Svitolina run riot to claim a place in the last four having won the contest 7-5, 6-7, 6-2. The win now sees her face Czech Republic’s Markéta Vondroušová for a place in Saturday’s final of the Wimbledon Championships.

<h2>Elina Svitolina delivers big upset</h2>

Coming into the contest, Svitolina was on a fairytale run having returned from maternity earlier in the year. However, her journey was expected to end on Tuesday as she took on number one seed Swiatek in the quarterfinal. Things though took an upside-down turn as the Ukrainian dominated from the first set and looked on course to clinch the contest. However, a resolute Swiatek showed nerves of steel to come back and win the second set tiebreak and take the contest to the deciding third set.

In the third set, the former world number three was again on top and broke Swiatek twice to gain supremacy in the decider. She was offered five break points and capitalised on two as the dream run continued for the wild card holder.

She will now search for more history as an unlikely title triumph could see her join Goran Ivanišević to win the Wimbledon singles title as a wild card entrant.

<h2>Svitolina’s fairytale continues</h2>

Svitolina is enjoying a dream run at Wimbledon this year, having missed most of last season on maternity leave, she dispatched Venus Williams, No. 28 seed Elise Mertens, former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin and No. 19 seed Victoria Azarenka on her way to the quarterfinal.

Svitolina will now face Markéta Vondroušová with one of the unseeded players guaranteed to make the Wimbledon final. Both Svitolina and Vondroušová will look to create history as they try to become the first unseeded female player to win the Wimbledon singles championship. The lowest-ranked Wimbledon singles champion tag is currently held by Venus Williams when she beat Marion Bartoli 6–4, 6–1 in the final.

Wimbledon 2023: 'Super Mom' Elina Svitolina upsets No.1 seed Iga Swiatek to reach semifinals

Ons Jabeur crushed two-time champion Petra&nbsp;Kvitova&nbsp;6-0, 6-3 to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday, immediately setting her sights on revenge against defending champion Elena Rybakina.

Tunisia's Jabeur, last year's beaten finalist, dominated&nbsp;Kvitova&nbsp;from the start, breaking the ninth seed three times in a 22-minute opening set on Centre Court.

Kvitova, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, got a foothold in the match in the first game of the second set but sixth seed Jabeur then reeled off four straight games to take a vice-like grip.

The Czech left-hander broke for the first time in the match in the sixth game to give herself hope, holding serve to close to 4-3.

But it proved merely to be stay of execution for&nbsp;Kvitova&nbsp;as Jabeur broke again to end the match with just 63 minutes on the clock.&nbsp;

"I'm loving every moment that I'm here and you guys have no idea the energy that you bring to me and I just want to win every match so I can see you the next day," she said.

Jabeur will play Kazakh third seed Rybakina in the last eight, desperate to avenge her defeat in the 2022 final.

"I'm probably going for my revenge," she said. "It was a difficult final last year. It's going to bring a lot of memories.

"I'm hoping to play like today and get the win because she's an amazing player."

Wimbledon 2023: Ons Jabeur on revenge mission against Rybakina after hammering Kvitova

Women's tennis chiefs on Monday pleaded with spectators to show "understanding and respect" when Ukraine players refuse to shake hands with Russian and Belarusian opponents in protest at the ongoing war in their country.

The WTA, which runs the women's game, became the first governing body to acknowledge demands that they publically explain the reasons for the stance.

Earlier on Monday, Aryna Sabalenka backed Elina Svitolina's call for officials to respond to help shield players from "so much hate".

Victoria Azarenka, from Belarus,&nbsp;was booed off court following her defeat by Ukraine's Svitolina at Wimbledon on Sunday.

As has become common, Svitolina did not shake hands with Azarenka in protest over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Belarus is a key military ally of Moscow.

Azarenka, who held her hand up in the direction of Svitolina, seemingly in a gesture of respect, left the court to a chorus of boos from some sections of the crowd.

The two-time Australian Open champion said her treatment "wasn't fair".

"I thought it was a great tennis match," she added.&nbsp;

"If people are going to be focusing only on handshakes or the crowd, quite drunk crowd, booing in the end, that's a shame."

Svitolina and her fellow Ukraine players all refused to shake hands with Russians and Belarusians at the recent French Open.

She called on the sport's governing bodies to explain the position of Ukraine players.

"I don't know if it's maybe not clear for people, some people not really knowing what is happening," she said.&nbsp;

"So I think this is the right (thing) to do."

Belarusian second seed Sabalenka, who beat Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova on Monday to reach the quarter-finals, backed Svitolina's call.

"As Elina said, I think someone has to come out on social media with the announcement that there is not going to be a handshake so players will not leave the court with so much hate," she said.

"It would be good for the crowd to actually know what's going on. There is a reason behind no handshake."

Hours later the WTA, describing the war as "reprehensible", said they respected the position of the Ukrainian players as it is a "personal decision".&nbsp;

"We have some of the best fans in the world and are grateful for their passion and dedication, and we thank them for their understanding and respect for the athletes," they said in a statement.

Men's third seed Daniil Medvedev said it was a "pity" that Azarenka was booed.

The Russian added: "I think the people didn't know the story behind it, and that's why it happened."

<h2>Personal decision</h2>

All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said Wimbledon had no plans to issue a statement.

"Historically in tennis the decision on how a player reacts at the end of a match is entirely a personal decision for them and I think we don't really want to start mandating what happens," she said.

"I think we have an incredibly knowledgeable audience at Wimbledon and I think in most part they would understand what was happening."

She admitted it is impossible to control the crowd, calling for the sporting action to be centre stage.

There are four players in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon who are representing Russia or Belarus, a year after athletes from the two nations were banned by the All England Club.

Bolton was asked how tournament organisers would feel about handing the trophy to a player from one of the two nations.

"When we made the decision earlier this year to admit Russians and Belarusians we thought really carefully about all of those things and having made the decision to admit them, we are comfortable about how that plays out," she said.

Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka wants shield from 'hate' after Victoria Azarenka booed

Former world no. 1 and home boy Andy Murray exited the Wimbledon 2023 after losing against Stefanos Tsitsipas in an epic five-set match on Friday. The second round game, which had started on Thursday, was completed on Friday, July 7 due to the local council curfew. Murray lost the match 6(3)-7(7), 7(7)-6(2), 6-4, 6(3)-7(7), 4-6.

Murray, who has won the Wimbledon twice, in 2013 and 2016 apart from a US Open in 2012, felt completely dejected and said that it's always hard whenever the Wimbledon doesn't go according to his plans.

"I'm obviously very disappointed just now. Yeah, obviously you never know how many opportunities you're going to get to play here," Andy Murray said. "The defeats maybe...feel a bit tougher. But, to be honest, every year that Wimbledon's not gone how I would like, it's been hard," he said at the post-match conference.

The Brit, who had 2-1 lead going in the second day of his match against Tsitsipas, also said that he's 'not sure' when asked if this was his last appearance at All England Club.

"I don't plan to stop right now. But, yeah, this one will take a little while to get over. Hopefully find the motivation again to keep training, keep pushing, try and keep getting better," he added.

The 36-year-old, who's had injury troubles in the past, wasn't much pleased about that fact that he came close to beating a top-ranked player like Tsitsipas (5th seed).

"To have a run at these tournaments, you need multiple, multiple wins in a row. Yeah, I've obviously not done that," Murray said. "Ultimately this was an opportunity for me. I had a good chance of having a proper run for the first time in a long time at a Slam. I didn't take it."

Wimbledon 2023: Dejected Andy Murray 'not sure' of returning to All England Club after second round exit

Victoria Azarenka beat Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-4 in the third round of the ongoing Wimbledon Championship&nbsp;on Friday, July 7 to advance to the fourth round. The match, which was being played at court no. 12, however, led to an unusual incident.

During the match, Azarenka produced a brilliant drop shot. The ball bounced high enough off grass after the shot and went to the next court. A spectator, who was watching the game in the next court, was hit by the bouncing ball on the back of his head. Have a look at the video here:

Speaking about the upcoming match, the two-time Australian Open champ (2012 and 2013) said at the post-match conference, "Well, I'm very happy for her that, you know, she had this incredible experience of going through this incredible experience of having a family and the ability to come back actually very quickly on tour."

"Seems that she's doing really well. So I'm very happy to see her on the tour again and playing well. If we get to play, it will be an exciting match like we always have," she added.

Nuria Sajjad: Second eight-year-old girl dies after London school crash

Mirra&nbsp;Andreeva's fairytale season continued Sunday when the 16-year-old reached the Wimbledon fourth round, inspired by Grand Slam warrior Rafael Nadal.

Andreeva, who came through qualifying and is playing her first senior grass-court tournament, defeated 22nd-seeded compatriot Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 7-5.

The key part of the match came when she had to fight back from 1-4 down to 4-4 in the second set.

Also Watch:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/wimbledon-2023-crowd-boos-victoria-azarenka-after-loss-against-ukrainian-svitolina-in-fourth-round-watch-613746">Crowd boos Victoria Azarenka after loss against Ukrainian Svitolina in fourth round</a>

She then saw seven break points come and go in the ninth game before she gathered herself to reel off the next three games for victory.

She credited her fighting spirit to Nadal, a 22-time major winner and celebrated chaser of lost causes.

"I was really impressed when Rafa came back after an injury, he won the Australian Open in 2022, he won French Open," she explained.

"I can say that mental-wise I just try sometimes to copy him. I try to remember what would he do in these moments, what would he do on the score."

Andreeva&nbsp;arrived at Wimbledon having made a run to the third round at the French Open, also out of qualifying.

She will now rise in the rankings from 102 to the top 65 at least after Wimbledon.

At the end of 2022, she was down at 293 before announcing herself on the WTA Tour with a run to the last 16 in Madrid in April.

When she started that tournament she was still 15.

<h2>Normal teen</h2>

Despite rocketing to fame,&nbsp;Andreeva&nbsp;insists she is just a normal teenager despite the riches her successes have produced.

At the start of 2023, her career earnings stood at just under $27,000.

Now, her bank balance has comfortably burst through the $500,000 barrier.

"I love to watch some series," said&nbsp;Andreeva&nbsp;of her life off the court. "I have to do my school. I have no choice. I have to suffer for two more years, and that's it.

"I'm still 16, and sometimes I can be like a kid. I can complain a lot about some stuff."

She added: "When I have free time, sometimes I prefer to be alone, just with myself. But most of the time I watch Netflix."

As well as winning over fans at the All England Club, Sunday's win came on the birthday of her grandfather, watching on TV at the family home in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.

"I feel the support from Krasnoyarsk, a lot of people are posting the stories," said&nbsp;Andreeva.

"They are tagging me everywhere. I feel super nice because they remember me. I'm excited about it, that they still cheer for me, even though I've been there last time in the winter."

On Sunday,&nbsp;Andreeva&nbsp;made the most of Potapova's mistake-ridden performance.

When Potapova buried an overhead into the net on match point it was her 45th and final unforced error.

"It was an amazing battle," said&nbsp;Andreeva.

She refuses to compare her run to that of Britain's Emma Raducanu, who captured the 2021 US Open title after coming through the qualifying round.

"She did an amazing job to pass the quallies and to win the Slam at 18.

"But me, I try to not think about it. I think it will disturb me, all these thoughts."

Despite her breakthrough performance,&nbsp;Andreeva&nbsp;maintains loftier ambitions and is targeting the seeded players' dressing room at Wimbledon in 2024.

"I hope to be in the locker room above next year," said the teenager, who will face US 25th seed Madison Keys on Monday for a place in the quarter-finals.

Mirra Andreeva's fairytale season continued Sunday when the 16-year-old reached the Wimbledon fourth round, inspired by Grand Slam warrior Rafael Nadal.

Mirra Andreeva's fairytale season continued Sunday when the 16-year-old reached the Wimbledon fourth round, inspired by Grand Slam warrior Rafael Nadal. Andreeva, who came through qualifying and is playing her first senior grass-court tournament, defeated 22nd-seeded compatriot Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 7-5. The key part of the match came when she had to fight back from 1-4 down to 4-4 in the second set. Also Watch: Crowd boos Victoria Azarenka after loss against Ukrainian Svitolina in fourth round She then saw seven break points come and go in the ninth game before she gathered herself to reel off the next three games for victory. She credited her fighting spirit to Nadal, a 22-time major winner and celebrated chaser of lost causes. "I was really impressed when Rafa came back after an injury, he won the Australian Open in 2022, he won French Open," she explained. "I can say that mental-wise I just try sometimes to copy him. I try to remember what would he do in these moments, what would he do on the score." Andreeva arrived at Wimbledon having made a run to the third round at the French Open, also out of qualifying. She will now rise in the rankings from 102 to the top 65 at least after Wimbledon. At the end of 2022, she was down at 293 before announcing herself on the WTA Tour with a run to the last 16 in Madrid in April. When she started that tournament she was still 15. Normal teen Despite rocketing to fame, Andreeva insists she is just a normal teenager despite the riches her successes have produced. At the start of 2023, her career earnings stood at just under $27,000. Now, her bank balance has comfortably burst through the $500,000 barrier. "I love to watch some series," said Andreeva of her life off the court. "I have to do my school. I have no choice. I have to suffer for two more years, and that's it.

Wimbledon 2023: 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva's fairytale continues, reaches round of 16 in maiden tournament

Ukraine's Elina Svitolina beat Belarusian Victoria Azarenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (11/9) in a 2 hours 46 minutes long marathon match to reach the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon 2023. With the win, Svitolina set up a tie with championship contender Iga Swiatek in the round of 8. The match, however, will be remembered mostly for the crowd booing Azarenka post her loss.

After the match, Svitolina and Azarenka walked towards the umpire and the Belarusian player held her hand in the Ukrainian player's direction. Svitolina, however, didn't shake Azarenka's hand, a policy she has adopted at the tournaments against Russian and Belarusian players following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Notably, Belarus is a key military partner of Russia.

The crowd, however, wasn't kind either and started booing Azarenka. The player wasn't very amused with the reaction. Have a look at the video here:

"It was like this for me in Paris. It was also unfair," said Svitolina.

"I already said multiple times that until Russian troops are out of Ukraine and we take back our territories, we are not going to shake hands. So I have a clear statement."

The Ukrainian, meanwhile, described the win as the second most happiest moment after her daughter's birth.

"I think after giving birth to our daughter this is the second-happiest moment in my life," said Svitolina. "When I was down I heard you guys cheering for me and I almost wanted to cry."

Wimbledon 2023: Crowd boos Victoria Azarenka after loss against Ukrainian Svitolina in fourth round - Watch

Carlos Alcaraz was forced to dig deep on Saturday to see off the challenge of Nicolas Jarry and reach the last 16 at Wimbledon.

The Spanish top seed, seen as the man most likely to end Novak Djokovic's long reign at the All England Club, was off-colour but still won 6-3, 6-7 (6/8), 6-3, 7-5.

A single break in the first set was enough for Alcaraz to edge ahead but he faltered in the second, slipping 4-1 behind.

The US Open champion clawed his way back, forcing a tie-break, but that went the way of his Chilean opponent, seeded 25th.

Alcaraz regrouped and took the third set 6-3 but the errors crept in again and he found himself in trouble at 3-0 down in the fourth.

The 20-year-old survived two break points in the following game and broke back when Jarry went long with a forehand.

He conjured a searing backhand return to break again in the 11th game and served out for the win.

"I'm really happy with the level that I played to get through this really tough match," said Alcaraz.

He added: "It was really, really close. He has great shots... I would say the key is to believe all the time and stay focused."

Alcaraz was playing his second match in two days after heavy rain earlier in the week caused a scheduling headache for tournament chiefs.

He is attempting to become the third-youngest player in the Open Era to win the Wimbledon title after Boris Becker and Bjorn Borg.

<h2>Aryna Sabalenka in next round</h2>

World number two Aryna Sabalenka reached the Wimbledon fourth round for the second time on Saturday with a straight-sets win over Russia's Anna Blinkova.

Australian Open champion Sabalenka, who has a chance of taking Iga Swiatek's world number-one ranking at the tournament, won 6-2, 6-3 on the back of 30 winners, including nine aces under the Court One roof.

The Belarusian will take on another Russian, 21st-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova, for a place in the quarter-finals.

Sabalenka reached the semi-finals on her last appearance at Wimbledon in 2021 but was banned last year due to Belarus's support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Wimbledon 2023: Carlos Alcaraz toughs it out to reach last 16; Aryna Sabalenka into fourth round

A car has crashed into a school building in Southwest London's Wimbledon region. According to reports, a child has been killed in the tragic incident. Six other children and two adults were also injured as a gold-cutter Land Rover crashed into the study preparatory school.

Car collision in Wimbledon, London

An eight-year-old girl was killed and 15 others injured after a woman crashed her car into a primary school in Wimbledon, south-west London, on Thursday morning.

According to local media reports, the girls were "having a tea party" at the time when a black Land Rover smashed through the gates of the school.

Police have arrested the woman, who is said to be in her 40s, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The incident took place around 9.30 am following which the Metropolitan Police were called in about the car crashing into the school building on Camp Road.

Later, paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance were dispatched to attend to the injured girls aged 4 to 11.

Firefighters were also at the scene, removing safety railings to help emergency services reach the site.

"This is a very difficult time for everyone here at the school and across the wider community,” detective chief superintendent for the police Clair Kelland said in a news conference.

"Our officers have already spoken to a number of witnesses and have viewed the CCTV."

The Metropolitan Police, in a statement, said that the crash incident, which took place about a kilometre from where&nbsp;the Wimbledon tennis tournament&nbsp;was being held, won’t be treated as terrorism-related.

The police have cordoned off surrounding streets and asked the public to avoid the area to ease access to emergency services.

8-year-old girl killed, 15 others injured as car crashes into primary school in London

Climate activists interrupted matches at Wimbledon on Wednesday, scattering orange confetti and jigsaw pieces in the latest protests targeting major sporting events.

Two men and a woman, all wearing T-shirts with "Just Stop Oil" printed on them, were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage.

Two incidents occurred about two hours apart on Court 18, one of the show courts at the All England Club.

Two protesters ran onto the court during the first-round match between 21st seed Grigor Dimitrov and Japanese qualifier Sho Shimabukuro.

One fan shouted "Get off the court" as spectators booed and jeered.

A third protester disrupted the match between Britain's Katie Boulter and Australia's Daria Saville, both of whom helped clear the court after the activist was escorted away.

The demonstrations prompted a warning from UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman, after she hosted top sports officials to try to prevent similar disruptions at forthcoming sporting events.

"The protesters at Wimbledon were determined to ruin the day's play for spectators and sports fans across the world," she said.

"This is unacceptable. We will be uncompromisingly tough on the selfish protesters intent on spoiling our world-class sporting occasions this summer."

Just Stop Oil wants the UK government to end all new oil and gas exploration and has promised not to let up in its protests until it does so.

The group said after the first demonstration: "The supporters threw environmentally friendly orange confetti glitter and jigsaw pieces onto the court, before being removed.

"Play was briefly delayed whilst marshals picked up the pieces."

Simon Milner-Edwards, 66, who took part in the action, said in the statement: "I'm here for my grandchildren and everybody else's.&nbsp;

"I'm not prepared to let our politicians wreck everything and leave the next generation to pick up the pieces."

<h2>Heightened security</h2>

Dimitrov said his initial instinct had been to get involved but he realised "it's not my place to do that".

The Bulgarian added: "Obviously it's not pleasant. In the end of the day there is not much you can do. I think everyone in a way did their part as quick as possible."

Wimbledon chiefs have tightened security following demonstrations elsewhere in the UK.

Three protesters from Just Stop Oil ran onto the ground during the second Ashes cricket Test at Lord's last week, sprinkling the group's trademark orange powder.

There were similar demonstrations during the recent World Snooker Championship and English Premiership rugby final.

The group has also targeted Premier League matches and the Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

New legislation gives police greater powers to stop and search protesters for items such as padlocks and superglue, as well as arrest people suspected of attempting to cause a public nuisance.

Tougher checks on spectators have been blamed for causing delays and standstills in the queue on the first day of Wimbledon.

Former world number four Tim Henman, who sits on the board of the All England Club, said it was difficult to guarantee protests would not happen.

"You prepare as best you can," he told the BBC. "Obviously, the challenge when you've got 35,000-plus people coming to your grounds and you've got 18 fields of play, it's not easy.

"So it will be important for everyone to understand the facts and where these people have come from but it's frustrating.&nbsp;

"We've had enough disruptions with the weather. To get a disruption like that as well is disappointing."

The group said after the first demonstration: "The supporters threw environmentally friendly orange confetti glitter and jigsaw pieces onto the court, before being removed. "Play was briefly delayed whilst marshals picked up the pieces." Simon Milner-Edwards, 66, who took part in the action, said in the statement: "I'm here for my grandchildren and everybody else's. "I'm not prepared to let our politicians wreck everything and leave the next generation to pick up the pieces."

The Bulgarian added: "Obviously it's not pleasant. In the end of the day there is not much you can do. I think everyone in a way did their part as quick as possible." Wimbledon chiefs have tightened security following demonstrations elsewhere in the UK. Three protesters from Just Stop Oil ran onto the ground during the second Ashes cricket Test at Lord's last week, sprinkling the group's trademark orange powder. There were similar demonstrations during the recent World Snooker Championship and English Premiership rugby final. The group has also targeted Premier League matches and the Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone. New legislation gives police greater powers to stop and search protesters for items such as padlocks and superglue, as well as arrest people suspected of attempting to cause a public nuisance. Tougher checks on spectators have been blamed for causing delays and standstills in the queue on the first day of Wimbledon. Former world number four Tim Henman, who sits on the board of the All England Club, said it was difficult to guarantee protests would not happen. "You prepare as best you can," he told the BBC. "Obviously, the challenge when you've got 35,000-plus people coming to your grounds and you've got 18 fields of play, it's not easy. "So it will be important for everyone to understand the facts and where these people have come from but it's frustrating. "We've had enough disruptions with the weather. To get a disruption like that as well is disappointing." WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here.
