There are busy days at the majors, and then there’s the second—better known as manic—Monday at Wimbledon. The tournament is famous for its traditions, and one of them is to put all 16 fourth-round matches on the schedule in a single afternoon. This has it drawbacks, since there is no play at all on Sunday, when more people could be watching. But there isn’t a better day of tennis all season than Manic Monday. Here are a few of the highlights; it’s amazing how much can happen on a day when there aren’t all that many surprises.
