Wimbledon's Manic Monday Arrives With Loaded Fourth-Round Slate

Today is Manic Monday at Wimbledon, a "loaded day of fourth-round tennis" at the All England Club. No other day in tennis is "so star-studded, and no other day during the second week of a Slam is so action-packed." This year, 13 of the 16 seeds in each draw have reached the fourth round (TENNIS.com, 7/9). Wimbledon is the "only major with such a crowded Monday schedule because the tournament subscribes to the notion that the Middle Sunday should be a day of rest." There have only been "four exceptions to the Middle Sunday" rule due to "inclement weather during the first week" (USATODAY.com, 7/9).
