16 Thoughts on 16 Matches: Breaking Down All the Manic Monday Wimbledon Action

WIMBLEDON, England — It’s Manic Monday, tennis’ everyone-in-the-pool lollapalooza. All 32 remaining singles players were in action today…and here’s one dispatch from each of the 16 matches.

Today, she was all business.

• A bubbling theme this tournament: The Big Three are awesome; but the bench is quite thin in men’s tennis right now.
