Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament.
On Day 6, a rising star made her biggest move yet, there was British joy (and a nosebleed) and an American broke new ground on the Wimbledon grass.
How did a country’s new sporting hero make a mark on Centre Court?
Through no fault of her own, Alexandra Eala’s popularity and following has for a while been disproportionate to her achievements on the tennis court.
Like the Brazilian João Fonseca on the men’s side, Eala, 21 and from the Philippines, has a massive following in her native country both online and at every event she plays.
Her interviews are typically the most watched of any player on YouTube, and there tend to be long lines for her matches at tournaments when she is scheduled on outside courts. It’s partly her potential, and partly her status as the new sporting hero for the 12th-most populous nation in the world, with almost 115 million people.
During the career of the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao, national holidays would be called for his fights. Now, there are huge watch parties in Manila, the country’s capital, when Eala plays big matches.
Eala has had a very solid career so far, currently ranked No. 32 after reaching a career-high of No. 29 in March. At last year’s Miami Open, a WTA 1000 event the rung below the Grand Slams, she made the semifinals. But at the majors, where players generally need to thrive to become major stars, she hadn’t gone beyond the second round going into this year’s Wimbledon.
And then Saturday happened, when Eala defeated the defending champion Iga Świątek 7-6(9), 6-2 on Centre Court to explode into the sport’s wider consciousness. This was a fearless win from Eala, one that undoubtedly won her many new fans, both in the stands and watching at home on television.
Especially after an on-court interview that showcased how natural Eala is in front of a microphone. “Maybe for someone like Iga who has won so many Slams … or maybe someone like Serena or Venus (Williams) this achievement may seem small, but for someone who grew up in the Philippines …” Eala said, her voice breaking as she trailed off.
“I went to train with my brother and grandfather every day after school, with my ruffled socks and my light-up shoes and chubby cheeks, so for her this is everything.”
In a news conference a couple of hours later, Eala said that although she is aware of the huge support, she recognizes the journey as a personal one.
“ I’m very grateful and very welcoming of all the support that I get. I’m the one and my team is the one and my family is the one who have been putting in the hours. We’re the ones who are here at the courts 12 hours in a row. We’re the ones who wake up early, who come back home late.
“I think that day-to-day work and that work ethic is really what keeps me grounded and keeps me locked in. Then I guess the responsibility or the effects or the impact I have on other people and the inspiration that I can bring is a result of that work ethic.
“I try to be as authentic as I can. I believe in being genuine. I believe in my values. This exposure I guess or this platform that I have has really allowed me to self-reflect. It allows me to become the best version of myself, because I know that a lot of people look up to me.
“Then again, I think the main message here is that I don’t want them to look at me and say, ‘I want to be the next Alex Eala.’ I want them to look at me and say, ‘Wow, I want to be the first me. I want to make my own path.’”
Eala’s lefty game appears to be well-suited to grass, helping her to a title at the Challenger-level Birmingham Classic last month and then the semis of the Berlin Open. Her serve is underpowered, but she’s adept at generating spins and angles off the ground, and deprived Świątek of rhythm throughout Saturday’s match.
She faces the 2024 finalist Jasmine Paolini in the fourth round on Monday next, with the chance to advance to the point of a Slam that has long felt inevitable.

How much drama was there for the last Brit standing?
No-one was leaving their seats. People poked out of the hedges surrounding Court 18 and others were reminded not to scale the dustbins as they desperately tried to watch wildcard Arthur Fery, the last British player standing at Wimbledon.
The 23-year-old, who studied at Stanford University, California, trailed two sets to one, and 1-4 in the fourth set. With heavy legs, he clawed his way back, grinding down Zizou Bergs to lead 5-4 in the fourth.
“I was just trying to back my fighting spirit,” Fery, born in France to former professional tennis player, Olivier Féry, and Ligue 1 side FC Lorient president Loïc Féry but raised a stone’s throw from the grounds, said in his news conference.
His 2-6, 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (5) victory was his first five-set win, longest match (four hours and 38 minutes) and took him into the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time.
“Here comes the Fery….hooooo!” came the crowd’s new chant for the wild card, who became the first British wild card to reach the Wimbledon fourth round since Andrew Foster in 1993.
Some players, like Roland Garros’ teenage breakout star Moïse Kouame, incentivise a home crowd but, although grateful for the support, that is not Fery’s style.
When he masterfully maneuvred Bergs, 77 places above him in the rankings, around the court before finishing with a neat volley in the fourth-set tiebreak, the crowd leapt to their feet.
“I try to stay collected inside, which sometimes is tricky,” said Fery. “If I start giving too much energy out, then it’s going to affect my tennis. I just try to stay calm.”
If he was nervous in the two tiebreaks he did not show it, but the body keeps the score in other ways. At 4-5, 40-15 in the final set, he took a medical timeout for his third nosebleed of the match, a problem which has plagued the 23-year-old before and during this tournament. Under stress, blood vessels dilate allowing increased blood flow to the muscles but it can cause tiny blood vessels to burst.
“I can’t do much about it,” he said.
The world no. 114 played consecutive matches on the 782-capacity outside court and said he did not request not to play on a larger show court. It meant for the first time in 26 years a British player has not graced Centre Court during the first week of Wimbledon.
Fery is likely to play Monday’s fourth-round match, the biggest of his career, against fellow wild card Grigor Dimitrov, on one of the bigger stages.
“It’s time to move on,” he said. “I’ll keep those great memories on 18 for the rest of my life.”

How did an American break new ground?
Ashlyn Krueger, the 22-year-old Texan who reached the top 30 last summer, hadn’t shown much form ahead of the grass season.
She was losing more than she had won. She fell out of the top 100 and had to play qualifying just to get into the main draw at Wimbledon. Now she’s the latest example of the tennis cliché about just needing one good week to turn everything around.
For Krueger, that week appears to have been at the Birmingham Open in England in early June, where she won five matches, including qualifiers, and lost in the semifinal to Nikola Bartůňková of the Czech Republic. The next week she won a WTA 125, the rung below the main tour, in Ilkley, also in England.
On to Wimbledon, where she has won another six matches, three in qualifying and three in the main draw, including Saturday’s 6-3, 6-2 defeat of Ukraine’s Daria Snigur.
Krueger is taller than six feet and plays a big game with a searing serve. Consistency has been the puzzle.
“It’s very difficult to work on that,” said Krueger, who has her childhood coach and mother guiding her at the moment, during an interview at Wimbledon. “I just think you kind of have to go into every match hoping and you put in a lot of work on the practice court day in and day out.
Raise your level on the practice court and in the gym and begin to believe that the same level and energy will be there match after match. You’re playing practice matches and then you win matches and you start to like, you know, win 2, 3, 4 in a row,” she said.
Another Ukrainian, No. 12 seed Marta Kostyuk, is up next.

How does Wimbledon make its tournament more welcoming?
On Saturday at Wimbledon, Sarah Sloan and her 10-year-old daughter Caitlin’s first port of call when arriving at The All England Club was the Family and Sensory Room, which is tucked away in the corner of the Southern Village.
They had just made the long journey south from Sheffield in Yorkshire and wanted a calm, quiet place to relax in before tackling a busy walk through the crowds toward their seats on Centre Court.
“We went in there just to have a bit of peace and quiet because we just had a long journey,” Sloan said during an interview. “Caitlin likes to have a bit a break so we can then carry on and enjoy the rest of the day.
“Caitlin recently got a diagnosis of autism. So, sometimes with all the sort of sensory stuff around, it’s nice to just have a place that’s a little bit darker and a little bit quieter. It means we can stay here for a much longer part of the day. If there weren’t these places to go to, we wouldn’t be able to stay for quite as much time because we need to leave and have a break.”
Caitlin enjoyed playing with one of the many fidget toys provided in the room which was installed for the first time this year and has spare pairs of ear defenders and bottles of sunscreen. In the previous two Championships before this year, there was a quiet room under Court 12, which was often used for those needing to breastfeed or for anyone wanting to a place to pray or contemplate. A new quiet room has now been set up opposite gangway 104, beneath Centre Court.
Back in the quiet snug this sensory room offers, a mother and son walk in, with the mother asking, “Is this the family room?” In the corner of the room is a sensory pod. Her son sees a big turtle on the screen and runs straight towards it.
The pod itself is wheelchair accessible and has different settings for lighting and sounds to help regulate the emotions of those using it, many of whom are neurodivergent.
“We’ve been looking for the right solution for the sensory space for a couple of years,” Tristan Wesley, senior guest experience manager, told The Athletic. “I’ve been down here most days and it’s always been busy. The feedback from the staff has been really positive. It’s one of our biggest wins.
“But there’s more we want to do. We want to do similar initiatives for all different types of disabilities. It is not finished, the accessibility program will evolve every year.
“It’s not as big as we want it to be, we’d like to split it out as a sensory room with a separate space and then a family room, ideally linked or close by. That’s the plan for next year, we just have to try and fit it in or find some space in the grounds.”

Other notable results on Day 6:
Germany’s Alexander Zverev (2) eased past Marcos Giron of the U.S. 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4.
Marta Kostyuk (12) continued her rich vein of Grand Slam form. The Ukrainian defeated Emma Navarro (23), also of the U.S., 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.
The Czech Republic’s Jiří Lehečka (13) defeated Jaume Munar of Spain 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

Up next: Fourth round
🎾 Women’s singles: Jessica Pegula (4) vs. Iva Jović (16)
8 a.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited
Pegula, 32, and Jović, 18, meet in the first of the all-American fourth-round clashes. Aggressive control will be the order of the day in this match, with Pegula’s laser groundstrokes meeting Jović’s heavier, spinnier shots. Pegula has the stronger serve, but Jović is a superb mover on grass, so this promises to be a thriller.
🎾 Men’s singles: Roman Safiullin (Q) vs. Novak Djokovic (7)
8:30 a.m. ET on ESPN, ESPN Unlimited
Djokovic enters this match in search of Wimbledon history: Should the 39-year-old defeat Safiullin, he will break Roger Federer’s record for the most wins in men’s singles at Wimbledon by racking up No. 106. In his way is a 28-year-old Russian qualifier who made the quarterfinals at the All England Club in 2023, and who can play an all-out attacking style that disrupts Djokovic’s rhythm.
🎾 Women’s singles: Aryna Sabalenka (1) vs. Naomi Osaka (14)
11:30 a.m. ET (est.) on ESPN, ESPN Unlimited
A fourth meeting this year between two power players of the women’s game, four-time Grand Slam champions both. Osaka and Sabalenka, 28, are both on a quest for a title that has eluded them, Sabalenka more narrowly than Osaka — the Belarusian is a three-time semifinalist. This is Osaka’s first second week on grass, but she has been in surging form and might see this as a serious chance to avenge three losses to the world No. 1 from three in 2026.
🎾 Women’s singles: Belinda Bencic (11) vs. Coco Gauff (7)
1 p.m. ET (est.) on ESPN, ESPN Unlimited
Bencic vs. Gauff tends to produce a bit of a show, and on grass, the Swiss 29-year-old will be looking to skid the ball into Gauff’s forehand. The American, 22, has made it back to the fourth round for the fourth time, and her serve has found its range and potency just when she has needed it. But she has also squeaked through some tight situations, much like Bencic, so expect this to get tense.
