To win her sixth Wimbledon title was one thing, to complete the “Serena Slam” was another. She’s better than the rest, so she should win, but she coped with all the pressure and shows no sign of slowing down. SC Cannot be anyone other than Serena Williams. Having survived scares against Heather Watson and Victoria Azarenka (the one player capable of consistently getting close to her), she walloped Maria Sharapova – again – and rose to the young challenge of Garbiñe Muguruza. Even better was the way he dismissed the fascination with his Rasta hair and his Jamaican-German background: “‘I could be sitting here saying, why are you guys all different?’” Woman of the tournament

Brown’s trick shots and disguised drops were more thrillingly modish than Liam Broady’s east-London-bartender beard. Brown’s defeat of Rafael Nadal helped open up the bottom half of the draw, but it was the manner in which it was delivered that secured his place in the Wimbledon crowd’s hearts. They may have provided the second-week class, but there was only one man responsible for bringing the first-week fun. You can keep your Federers, your Djokovics, your Richard Gasquets. He’s still got it, even at 33.Įmma John Dustin Brown. The Serb’s brilliance had a great deal to do with that, of course, but before then Federer was a joy to watch, particularly in a sublime performance against Andy Murray. Sean Ingle Roger Federer, who played staggering tennis on his seamless way to Sunday’s final with just 60 unforced errors in six matches, only for his level to slightly dip in the final against Novak Djokovic. Obviously Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer played infinitely better tennis, but this guy was a welcome livewire. However, he escaped punishment for appearing to down tools in the second set against Richard Gasquet, with the Australian accused of “tanking”, something he denied. Kyrgios was great value throughout his run to the fourth round, receiving two separate fines from the All England Club. Divisive, controversial and highly entertaining. Showed tremendous character to deal with his French Open disappointment and come back even stronger. He’s the man with the limbs of elastic but mind of steel. His response to losing the second-set tie-break in the final, having held seven set points, was outstanding. Was stung by Stan Wawrinka at the French Open but showed his mettle by recovering from the missed career slam to successfully defend his Wimbledon title. A marvel of mental strength and audacity, especially in times of peril. As much for the way he dug deep and battled to overcome Kevin Anderson over two days and five sets and put the cloud of defeat at Roland Garros behind him, as the way he prevailed in the final. Still proving he’s got it and amazingly, at the age of 33, he really does seem to be getting better.
