After a one-year gap, the world’s top tennis players returned to the All England Club in London to participate in Wimbledon 2021. And despite the tournament being called off in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the allure of the only grass-court Grand Slam wasn’t diminished in the slightest. It is, after all, the game’s most coveted tournament.
The first week of Wimbledon saw some breathtaking tennis along with a number of upsets in both the women’s and men’s draws. There were tumbles, tears and some breathtaking tennis to go with it, and best of all, fans cheering on to give us a reminder of what we missed last year. And as a welcome addition, Wimbledon has introduced on-court interviews as well, giving us some wonderful interactions over the past week. The chance to express themselves in front of the Centre Court audience at SW19 was usually reserved for the finalists, but 2021 has already given us many heartwarming moments in this regard.
