Meanwhile, Grigor Dimitrov gave an emotional update from his hospital bed following the sickening injury he suffered against Jannik Sinner on Monday evening.
Bulgarian 19th seed Dimitrov’s Championships ended in heartbreaking fashion.

“Recovery starts now, I’ll see you all soon,” he wrote on Instagram.
Sonay Kartal promised to get a new tattoo after Wimbledon and ended up with two.

Kartal became the 329th player to represent Great Britain in either the Davis Cup, the Billie Jean King Cup, the Wheelchair Tennis World Team Cup, the Olympics and the Paralympics.
The 43-year-old enjoyed a crafty hit at his old stomping ground and looked for all the world as though he could probably still make the semi-finals, at least.
British doubles star Lloyd Glasspool was asked if he and fiancee Sophia Maslin had set a date for their wedding.
