Big Kastles Day at Wimbledon as 7 Players Win

July 1, 2015 - World TeamTennis (WTT)
Washington Kastles News Release


Washington Kastles players have captured 28 Wimbledon titles, and through three days at the All England Club, they're showing strong signs of adding to the total.

The Kastles won all seven of their matches Wednesday and are 11-1 overall this week at Wimbledon. Venus Williams' victory over fellow Kastle Madison Brengle is the only Washington loss of the tournament.

That Venus and Serena Williams are through to the third round comes as no surprise.

But the biggest Kastles story at Wimbledon belongs to Murphy Jensen's newest player Denis Kudla, who is enjoying the greatest Grand Slam showing of his career.

In the first round, Kudla rallied from two sets down to defeat No. 28 seed Pablo Cuevas 6-7(4), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Then, Kudla broke Alexander Zverev when the German served for the third set en route to a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-4 second-round win.

Kudla, who hails from Arlington and trained in College Park, will join the Kastles for home matches on July 14, July 16 and July 18. Tickets to see the Kastles' hometown hero start at $12 on Ticketmaster.com.

Another new Kastle, Sam Querrey, is 1-0 in singles and 1-0 in doubles at Wimbledon. He meets seven-time champion Roger Federer on Centre Court at about 9:30 am D.C. time Thursday (ESPN, ESPN3.com).

Meanwhile in the women's draw, Venus and Serena Williams are one win from meeting one another in a blockbuster fourth-round showdown Monday. Neither sister has lost a set thus far this week.

Also victorious earlier today were four-time Wimbledon champion Leander Paes, three-time winner Martina Hingis and 2014 quarterfinalist Anastasia Rodionova, who advanced with her sister and former Kastle Arina Rodionova.
