For just the fourth time in history, there was tennis on the middle Sunday at Wimbledon.

It did not disappoint.

Serena Williams returned to form in a muscle-flexing, historic performance, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Sloane Stephens battled in a classic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and John Isner topped that with an all-timer at the All England Club.

Williams recorded the most notable win of the day, her 300th on the Grand Slam stage. She's now passed Chris Evert for second-most in the Open era and sits seven shy of passing Martina Navratilova for the record.

Williams also commented on the comparisons to Novak Djokovic, per Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times:



She will face Kuznetsova in Round 4. The Russian had perhaps the best comeback of the event so far, battling back from a 5-2 hole in the third set against Stephens. She won six of the next seven games to finish off a 6-7(1), 6-2, 8-6 nail-biter.


“It was an amazing match,” Kuznetsova ...
