Of the 16 remaining men, as many as six have a realistic shot at winning the most sought-after trophy in tennis.

It was a boring day in sports for those Americans who have been following USA’s World Cup run and the championships at Wimbledon. The U.S. was ousted yesterday as Wimbledon kept with tradition and took the first Sunday off.
