Top seeds keep their cool on Wimbledon s final Manic Monday China Daily | Updated: 2021-07-07 09:14 Share CLOSE A spectator displays a T-shirt supporting Roger Federer at Wimbledon s Centre Court on Monday. The Chinese characters translate as: Roger Federer, perfect. AFP
LONDON－Excitement and adoration greeted every point claimed by Roger Federer－ aaahs and applause for a sliced backhand return or a 94 mph (151 kph) sliding wide ace, an unreachable drop volley or a forehand flicked suddenly and ferociously.
It all got to be too much for his opponent at the All England Club, No 23 seed Lorenzo Sonego. So in the latter stages of his 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 loss to the eight-time champion, Sonego won a point and marked the occasion by waving his arms to ask the crowd for some love, as if to say, Hey, I m here, too, OK?

WIMBLEDON, England It was Wimbledon’s last Manic Monday – as of next year, no longer will all 16 fourth-round singles matches be scheduled on one day, a tradition vanishing along with that of a Middle Sunday without any play – and yet, amid all the chaos of simultaneous matches, one could be forgiven for imagining Roger Federer held the stage to himself.
Demolition widens search at condo site, but storms threaten
SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) â Rescuers searched through fresh rubble Monday after the last of the collapsed Florida condo building was demolished, which allowed crews into previously inaccessible places, including bedrooms where people were believed to be sleeping at the time of the disaster, officials said.
But they faced a new challenge from thunderstorms that hit the area as Tropical Storm Elsa approached the state.
Four more victims were discovered in the new pile, Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah told family members, raising the death toll to 28 people. Another 117 people remain unaccounted for.
WIMBLEDON, Inglaterra
Fue el último ‘Lunes Loco’ de Wimbledon a partir del año próximo, la tanda completa de partidos de octavos de final no será programada en un mismo día, un tradición que desaparece como el domingo sin actividad a mitad de torneo y, en medio de todo el caos de duelos simultáneos, Roger Federer volvió a ser el foco de la atención.
Después de todo, el astro suizo presume de ocho campeonatos en el All England Club. Alguien que se sometió a un par de cirugías en la rodilla la pasada temporada y que compite en un torneo de Grand Slam por última vez antes de cumplir los 40 años. ¿Cuántos más le quedan?
