MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Wimbledon is done. But one last grass-court event remains – the traditional American one in Newport, Rhode Island, around the International Tennis Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.

They got backed up by rain on Sunday so some of the potential qualifiers will have to play two matches to make it.

The rest of the tennis planet is mostly on clay – at the Challenger level, but also in Gstaad and Bastad.

And plenty of top players are back on it. Although with the 28 draws, not until later in the week.

(Gstaad and Bastad are six hours ahead of EDT; Newport is on EDT)
