WimbleSpin, Day 3: Wozniacki and J.J. Watt are dating; Tomljanovic and Kyrgios aren't

WimbleSpin harbors this regal fortnight's latest off-court news.

WATTZNIACKI  After months of pivoting and dodging the issue like a good American footballer, J.J. Watt and Caroline Wozniacki's budding relationship has been confirmed. As superficial comparisons go, she upgraded from ex-fiance and PGA star Rory McIlroy in the musculature department in a major way.

TOMLYRGIOS? Decidedly not dating: Fellow Aussies Ajla Tomljanovic and Nick Kyrgios.

GRIN AND BARE IT Not so far removed from his 2014 turn in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue, in which he posed nude in a desert scene, Tomas Berdych has done it again. This time it's for *Cosmopolitan* in support of an initiative alongside Cancer Research UK. Anything for charity, says T-Berd. And somewhere Stan Wawrinka feels upstaged.

LUNGING, LURCHING  Eugenie Bouchard remains an easy target both on and off the court these days. But the optics are staggering and sad. (To note, she claims an abdominal muscle strain for her desultory first-round loss at SW19.)

STRONG WORDS The swear police won't have the ATP tour's No. 182 player, Liam Broady, to kick around anymore. He lost today to No. 16 seed David Goffin. Even so, Serena Williams, homegrown star Heather Watson, and more have been warned for foul language to date—and they're sticking around. Pity poor Broady, though. Few athletes, and athletes of middling results to date, face such scrutiny as do British tennis players at the typing hands of the local tabloids.

'UNSPEAKABLE' Serena Williams spoke out about the horrific shootings of nine people at an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. “What happened in Charleston is a tragedy yet again to our country, the United States," says the world No. 1. "It’s really unspeakable how sad it is and how much of a toll it can have."

Recall that there was a time when she refused to play in South Carolina due to the state government's prominent display of the Confederate flag, a remarkable move considering that she and sister Venus are Jehovah's Witnesses and usually avoid speaking to political situations. Some truths trump all.

FLOWER POWER  HGTV has it that you, too, can manage good-looking gardens such as those on site at the All England Club. Check out this Q&A with Wimbledon's head gardener, Martyn Falconer. Your loyal Spin keeper says that, within and without the world of flora, purple is always a good idea.

GO GENTLY  Novak Djokovic bested No. 93 Jarko Nieminen, 6-4 6-2 6-3 in today's second round. Nieminen, the pride of Finland, was playing in his final Wimbledon. He turns 34 later this month. Djokovic, ever a pillar of class, led the applause as he left Centre Court alongside this foe:

SO SKINCERE Move over, Maria Sharapova and Supergoop. Ana Ivanovic has joined forces with Japanese skin-care brand Shiseido, which reportedly has a cult-like following. The partnership adds another company to Ivanovic's portfolio of endorsements that already included Adidas, Yonex, Rolex, and more.
