WIMBLEDON, England — During his postmatch interview on Monday, Liam Broady noted that being a 21-year-old from Manchester, England, playing in his first Grand Slam event could explain some of the saucy language he used that led to a warning from the chair umpire.
Many British fans are hoping the Scotsman Andy Murray will win his second Wimbledon championship, so news of another Briton doing well at Wimbledon — even if he is not widely known — was reason to celebrate.
That explained why fans hurriedly crammed into Court 18 at the All England Club to see what all the buzz was about.
