Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon and The Olympic Games citing a need for recuperation and a shortened gap between the French Open end and Wimbledon start dates.

Naomi Osaka withdraws from Wimbledon. Will take some personal time with friends and family.

That might actually open up Wimbledon in certain players favour.

Be strange not seeing Nadal at Wimbledon he always plays some of his best tennis at Wimbledon.

Berrettini's Brit-bashing continued as he knocked Dan Evans out.

Cameron Norrie saw off Brit teen sensation Jack Draper. But still supposedly the first time 3 Brits in the men's quarter-finals at Queen's.

Norrie beat Shapovalov and meets Berrettini in the final.

Heather Watson lost in the semi-final of the Birmingham Classic to the mighty Ons Jabeur, but was still the best Brit female performance there since Jo Durie in 1992.

When there's 3-4 different tournaments going on at the same time, then statistics can get silly.

Cameron Norrie is having a good year all told.

Norrie lost but went the distance.
