Early in this third-round match, long before Fred Stolle learned what ‘Ajde’ means, his co-commentator Rennae Stubbs said Ana Ivanovic was in the driver’s seat and that her opponent, Vania King, was “along for the ride, no matter where that ride takes her.” Ivanovic went off track a few times,

If the ATP tour came with GPS, a “recalculating” message would sound right now.

Rallying

PARIS (AP) Thanks to rain, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams must wait an extra day to start their bids for history at the French Open. The two No. 1-seeded players originally were slated to play first-round matches on Monday, the second day of the clay-court Grand Slam tournament. But the

WIMBLEDON, England (AP)—In 2010, Novak Djokovic led unseeded Serbia to a Davis Cup title in front of an adoring crowd in Belgrade, setting the stage for his phenomenal run in the following year. The crowd won't be on his side at Wimbledon, where Andy Murray awaits in the Olympic semifinals.
