Novak Djokovic Eyes 11th Wimbledon Semi-final, Ons Jabeur Seeks Breakthrough Performance
Six-time champion Novak Djokovic targets an 11th Wimbledon semi-final on Tuesday as Ons Jabeur, the last top 15 women's seed standing, eyes an Arab landmark performance. Top seed Djokovic will reach his 43rd Slam semi-final if he can defeat Jannik Sinner. The odds are stacked in Djokovic's favour with the Italian 20-year-old yet to get past the quarter-finals of a major.

Composed and mature Nick Kyrgios opens up on his metamorphosis
Kyrgios put on a very un-Kyrgios like show in his fourth-round match against American Brandon Nakashima on the Centre Court, trading his usual chatter and histrionics for calm and good behaviour during his fighting 4-6, 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2 victory. Whereas his ill-tempered match against Stefanos Tsitsipas was followed by even more acrimonious press conferences from both the players, Monday again proved to be a pleasant departure from the routine as Kyrgios opened up on his transition (still in the process, some might say) from a combustible youngster — who burst on the scene at the very same venue when he stunned Nadal in the fourth round in 2014 — to a seasoned veteran on the men’s tour. “Look, there was a time where I was having to be forced out of a pub at 4 am to play Nadal second round.
