Who comes to mind when you think about the best men’s tennis players of all time? Do names like Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi pop up? How about John McEnroe and Boris Becker? Well, Novak Djokovic now has won more Slams than all of those players.

Another phenomenal Wimbledon fortnight is in the books, and just like that we are three-fourths of the way through the major season.

Serena Williams is three-fourths of the way to one of the greatest accomplishments in tennis history. The 33-year-old won Wimbledon on Saturday, 6-4, 6-4 over the inspired 21-year-old Garbine Muguruza. This was her sixth Wimbledon title, her 21st Slam overall. This earned the American her second Serena Slam, as the defending champion of all four major titles, and it also marked the first time in her...

We have the dream matchup in the men’s Wimbledon final: No. 1 vs. No. 2; Novak Djokovic vs. Roger Federer. Djokovic and Federer will face each other Sunday, with the match starting at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN. These two met last year at the same time in the same place, with Djokovic surviving five tight sets to win his second Wimbledon title, his seventh Grand Slam overall. A year later...

You’re not supposed to actually be able to turn back time, but somehow, Roger Federer has found a way. On Friday in the Wimbledon semifinals, Federer demolished an in-form Andy Murray 7-5, 7-5, 6-4. He was graceful but aggressive, calm yet urgent, precise yet creative. He was Federer at his very best, and mere weeks before his 34th birthday, the legend even managed to impress himself, per SI...

The draw is dwindling and the pressure is rising. Only two matches stand in the way of Serena Williams and a second Serena Slam. To put it mildly, there is quite a lot on the line for Serena as Wimbledon winds down. If she can defeat Maria Sharapova in the semifinals on Thursday and Garbine Muguruza or Agnieszka Radwanska in the final on Saturday, she will win her sixth Wimbledon title, her 21st Slam...

It’s been quite a 24 hours for American sportswomen. On Sunday night, the U.S. women’s national soccer team beat Japan to win the World Cup in soccer for the first time since 1999. Then, on Monday at Wimbledon, three American women advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, the most since 2004. On Tuesday, Serena Williams, Madison Keys and CoCo Vandeweghe will all try to keep the stars and...

With a full three weeks in between the French Open and Wimbledon this year instead of the typical two, it seems like we’ve had to wait forever to kick off The Championships. I haven’t known what to do with all of this extra time! I’m kidding, of course. There’s barely been time to recover from Stan Wawrinka upsetting Novak Djokovic in the French Open, and now here we are getting...

There is no matchup in sports quite as intriguing as an athlete’s skill going up against his or her mental strength. After all, as humans, we are so often our own worst enemies. Dustin Johnson, a man who is rapidly becoming golf’s most engaging tragic hero, exemplifies that concept. The 30-year-old’s agonizing runner-up finish at the U.S. Open on Sunday was a microcosm of what has...
