Wednesday is Mailbag Day….
Until the week before Wimbledon, Angelique Kerber hadn't gotten past the third round of ANY tournament since last year's U.S. Open (when she lost in the quarters), and almost always lost in the first or second round. Now...she's into the semis at Wimbledon and lost just 14 games in her last six sets. Any thoughts on how this reversal happens ? And what's next? Gael Monfils into the semis at the U.S. Open? • The beauty of tennis. It doesn’t take much to “catch a gear,” as we say in pool.
