Tatjana Maria's dreams: Wimbledon title and doubles with daughter
German veteran Tatjana Maria is still dreaming of lifting the Wimbledon trophy but would also like to play doubles with her daughter Charlotte before the end of her career.
"It is my dream to play until we can play a doubles together. That would be really nice if I could play a doubles with Charlotte and end my career that way," Maria said.

World number 45 Maria is 37 and Charlotte, her older daughter, 11. The two train together regularly, and Charlotte has also started playing in tournaments.
"It is her dream to become the next champion. The kids must want it on their own, and then we help them reach their dreams," Maria said.
Maria was a Wimbledon semi-finalist and is a dark horse this time around after her surprise title at Queen's. She opens on Tuesday at the All England Club against American Katie Volynets.
"Of course my dream is winning Wimbledon, like everyone else," Maria said.
But she also said: "Tennis comes second for me. My familiy is simply the most important thing."
Maria travels with her husband and coach Charles-Édouard and both children on the tennis tour, with younger daughter Cecilia 4 years old.

At Wimbledon, a player's lament about loneliness revives a conversation about mental health
When Naomi Osaka opened up about her anxiety and depression at the 2021 French Open, it sparked a conversation in sports — and society at large — about mental health and the importance of addressing such issues. In the time since, more and more players have spoken about the topic and seeking help, and whatever taboos there were seem to have faded. Still, the way three-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev discussed his state of mind after a first-round exit at Wimbledon this week revived the conversation. 'I feel very alone out there at times. I struggle mentally. ... I'm trying to find ways to kind of get out of this hole. I keep kind of finding myself back in it in a way,' said Zverev, who was the runner-up at the Australian Open in January but then went through a rough stretch of results this season when he had a chance to overtake Jannik Sinner at No. 1 in the rankings. Alexander Zverev says at Wimbledon he feels 'quite alone in life' 'I feel, generally speaking, quite alone in life at the moment, which is a feeling that is not very nice,' Zverev said. 'It's not a feeling on a tennis court, it's just a life feeling in general.' Players at the All England Club were asked Wednesday about Zverev's words. They could empathize, some said. Others offered advice. Amanda Anisimova was a French Open semifinalist as a teen in 2019, then announced two years ago she was taking time off because of burnout. She's been back for a while now and reached the third round at Wimbledon with a victory Wednesday. 'It's definitely tricky. Each and every one of us goes through something at some point in our lives. We have our bouts of negative times. It honestly takes some self-reflecting, figuring out what's going wrong or how can I create a lifestyle that I enjoy. I feel like there are so many factors. For me, personally, it was finding people that I could confide in and I trusted. People that I could talk to,' Anisimova said. 'What Alex said about feeling lonely ... a lot of people struggle with being lonely, especially on the pro circuit,' she said, adding that taking a break from tour life 'really helped me and I'm happy I did that, because I came back with a new perspective, felt refreshed, and I feel like I learned a lot about myself.' Wimbledon athletes talk about turning to therapy for help Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, who owns three major trophies, said that she worked with a therapist for five years. 'It's really important to talk openly about whatever you're dealing with. ... It's really important to be open and to talk about what are you experiencing, because if you're going to keep it inside, it's just going to destroy you. I think that's kind of like something happening to him,' Sabalenka said. 'I think (Zverev) just needs to open up to whoever is close to him.' At the Australian Open, title winner Madison Keys addressed her reliance on therapy and the ways in which it both allowed her to be happier, in general, and more successful at tennis — a sport in which losses are frequent and expectations can be a burden. On-court losses in tennis can affect off-court identities 'Our identity becomes very wrapped up in being a tennis player. That's great, but when you have the tough kind of weeks, months, years on tour, that can really take a toll on how you think about yourself as a person,' Keys, a 30-year-old American, said Wednesday. 'So being able to kind of dive into that and figure out how to separate the two and know that you're not just a tennis player, you're a full person that has all of these other really great attributes and other interests and just different things in your life.' When a reporter asked the No. 3-seeded Zverev after his loss to unseeded Arthur Rinderknech on Tuesday whether he might consider trying therapy, the 28-year-old German replied: 'For the first time in my life, I'll probably need it.' This is how he described his current mindset: 'I've never felt this empty before. Just lacking joy, just lacking joy in everything that I do. It's not necessarily about tennis. Just lacking joy outside of tennis, as well.' Andrey Rublev, a 10-time Slam quarterfinalist from Russia who is seeded 14th at Wimbledon, said after his win Wednesday that life on tour, in and of itself, is not the problem for someone like Zverev. 'Tennis is just the trigger point,' Rublev said. 'It's something inside of you that you need to face.'

Taylor Fritz gets through another late-night five-setter to reach 3rd round at Wimbledon
LONDON — Late-night finishes and five-set matches are becoming a habit for Taylor Fritz at this year's Wimbledon. This time, though, he managed to wrap up his win over Gabriel Diallo before the match was suspended — making sure the fifth-seeded American won't have to come back on court for a fourth straight day. Fritz overcame a bloodied elbow to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (0), 4-6, 6-3 on No. 1 Court on Wednesday. That was a day after he finished off another five-set win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a match that was halted on Monday night at about 10:15 p.m. after Fritz forced a fifth set, with Wimbledon's 11 p.m. curfew looming. He completed the win over Diallo a little later than that on Wednesday. 'That's an incredibly hard match,' Fritz said. 'The fourth set that I lost, I really don't think there's much I did wrong at all.' Fritz sustained a cut to his elbow after diving to reach a ball when he had break point while trailing 3-2 in the fourth set. While he returned the ball, Diallo won the point and went on to hold serve. Now Fritz is looking forward to finally getting a day off. 'Tomorrow is going to be a very, a very light hit. I think I've played plenty of tennis,' he said. 'I'm very due a nice, relaxing day.'

Harris puts defeat aside to focus on doubles
Tennis player Billy Harris said although he was "gutted" to be out of the Wimbledon singles competition, he is looking forward to getting back on court in the doubles on Thursday. There was disappointment for the 30-year-old on Wednesday when he lost 6-3 6-4 7-6 (9-7) in the second round to Portugal's Nuno Borges. Advertisement Harris said although it was a "frustrating" defeat, his opponent had been "pretty solid from his serve and from the baseline, so it was a tough match". "But it is what it is and we move on to the doubles now," he said. More on this story Reaching the second round at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships marked the player's best run at the event, after losing in the first round on his debut in 2024. Reflecting on Wednesday's match, Harris said: "I had my chances and I think I missed one passing shot on set-point by an inch. "I had a couple more set-points, so you've got to take those kind of chances in these matches, but that's tennis, it's always like that. Advertisement "He's a very solid player from the back of he court, so if you're not doing enough with the ball he's going to move you around all day. "In the third set I think I was feeling the ball a lot better, had a bit more rhythm in my service games, but I couldn't take the tie-break in the end." Harris praised the "great support from the crowd" as well as the messages from friends and family on the Isle of Man. "Big thanks to them and I was just gutted that I couldn't take it further," he said. Looking ahead to his doubles match on Thursday against Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik and Flavio Cobolli of Italy, Harris said playing alongside fellow British player Marcus Willis was something he was relishing.
