The mixed doubles start Sunday.
Frances Tiafoe is coming for tennis once more. The tongue-wagging and the fist-pumping and the glare; the toothiest you-know-what-eating grin in the game; the high-energy vibes that can bring any tennis crowd into his corner.
It's all back, here on the Wimbledon grass, along with the laser forehands down the line and the beguiling spins that twist balls across the court. Tiafoe is here, really here. Here in a way that he hasn't been since the summer of 2023: the last time he believed that tennis was there for him to take.
He has largely been largely lost and mostly miserable ever since. Not many wins. Not many grins. Wisecracks few and far between. One week can change everything is the ultimate tennis cliche, but Tiafoe just might be living it at Wimbledon this year.
Next up: a showdown with Carlos Alcaraz, likely on Centre Court on Friday, a rematch of their electric duel in the U.S. Open semifinals that heady summer two years ago. "Popcorn match," Tiafoe, 26, said, even before he beat Borna Coric.
There he is. There's the guy that Alexander Zverev likes to call "Hollywood" around the locker room. Read more below.
If all goes to plan, on July 14 at a little past 11pm local time in Berlin, the last act of Toni Kroos's professional football/soccer career will be to lift the Henri Delaunay trophy, with Germany having been crowned Euro 2024 winners on home soil.
If Germany do win, it might be the most perfect retirement the game has ever seen. The end of Kroos' career might rank as the most glorious retirement in football/soccer, but where would it sit in the rest of sport?
In tennis, probably the most prominent example is Pete Sampras.
He had toiled for a couple of years in the early 2000s, not winning a tournament for two years and suffering a string of early Grand Slam exits, but he gathered all of his might for one last U.S. Open appearance in 2002, reaching the final having beaten the next big thing, Andy Roddick, on the way, facing his old rival Andre Agassi and winning in four sets.
He didn't actually confirm his retirement officially for a year, but that was his last competitive appearance.
