Arthur Fils didn't miss out on his Wimbledon debut. The Frenchman, ranked 34th in the world, beat Dominic Stricker in two hours and four sets (6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4), who had fallen back to 149th in the world rankings after missing the first half of the season with back problems.

Fils played a serious match, hitting 40 winners against just 24 unforced errors (34 against 33 for the Swiss). In the second round, he'll have to do even better, as Hubert Hurkacz, seeded no. 7 in the draw, will stand in his way.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
