Neat and tidy

What's a rarer event, a British teenager reaching the third round of Wimbledon or a teenager tidying up after themselves?

Emma Raducanu, an 18-year-old wild card ranked No.338 in the world, did both the other day, attracting the approval of James Blake, a former top-10 player from the United States.

"Just watched the end of Emma Raducanu’s match. Tremendous performance for a [wild card] at 18 years old but, possibly more impressive, I saw her clean up her own trash at the end of the match. Don’t see that often. Great habit. Don’t change," Blake observed of Raducanu, who plays Romania's Sorana Cirstea on Saturday for a place in the last 16.

If she can keep this up - the winning and the tidying - she will become very popular with both the crowds and the head groundsman.

Uncle Toni in demand

In Rafa's absence, the Nadal family still have some interest in the gentlemen's singles at the All England Club.

Nadal's uncle and former coach, Toni, has been advising Felix Auger-Aliassime, a 20-year-old Canadian who plays Australia's Nick Kyrgios in what promises to be a compelling third round match.

Grass seems to suit Auger-Aliassime, who made the final of the Stuttgart tournament on the surface, and also defeated his childhood idol, Roger Federer, on the way to the semi-finals in Halle.

Now the No.16 seed is threatening to make the second week of Wimbledon for the first time.

Taylor made

Just a month after leaving court at Roland-Garros in a wheelchair, and only three weeks after having a knee operation, Taylor Fritz finds himself in the third round of Wimbledon.

The 23-year-old American, who is the No.31 seed, plays Alexander Zverev, the No.4 seed from Germany. “I’m so stubborn and I told myself I’m playing Wimbledon, I was really determined. Every day when I was doing my three, four hours of [physical therapy] I was thinking ‘Wimbledon, Wimbledon, Wimbledon.’ I was never really discouraged," he said in an interview with the ATP website.

Winning streak

Barbora Krejcikova brings a 14-match winning streak into her third round appearance.

After winning five matches to land a clay court title in Strasbourg, and then another seven at Roland-Garros for her first Grand Slam title, she has added two more on the Wimbledon grass.

The Czech, who is playing in the main draw at the All England Club for the first time this summer, will try to keep that run going against Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova.

For the second time this week Aliaksandra Sasnovich plays a former champion.

The Belarusian, who came through her first round with Serena Williams when the American retired with an injury, has a third round meeting with Germany's Angelique Kerber, the champion in 2018.

Kerber, who prepared for The Championships by winning a grass court title in Bad Homburg, is undefeated in her last seven matches.
