Keep them guessing
With no Nick Kyrgios this summer, you might be looking for a subversive, unpredictable character who breaks convention as readily as he breaks rackets. Someone who shares the Australian's enthusiasm for underarm serves. Who brings a little chaos to the garden party.
Meet Alexander Bublik (main picture), a Kazakh who has gone deeper than ever before at The Championships this Fortnight, reaching the last 16. Bublik once hit six underarm serves in a single game at the All England Club, which is next-level grass court anarchy that even Kyrgios is yet to try.
Bublik's fourth round opponent, Andrey Rublev, won't be quite sure whether the No.23 seed is about to go all out with his serve - his top speed so far this Fortnight has been 134mph - or dink it over the net as a child might at the local park courts.
But Bublik is no grass court punk or circus act, as he demonstrated by winning last month's tournament in Halle by beating five players in the Top 25, including Rublev in the final. Just like Kyrgios, Bublik can play on this stuff.
Beat Rublev again and Bublik and his underarm serves could be about to go mainstream at Wimbledon as he would expect to play Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.
Svitolina feels love
Elina Svitolina first played at Wimbledon 10 years ago. She reached the semi-finals in 2019. But it feels as though this has been the summer when she and the All England Club crowds have truly connected.
That's partly down to the level of the tennis that the Ukrainian wild card has played, as she has beaten five-time champion Venus Williams and former Grand Slam winner Sofia Kenin on the way to the fourth round. But mostly it's down to Svitolina's compelling story.
How she only returned from maternity leave in April after she and her husband, the French tennis player Gael Monfils, became parents to daughter Skai in October. And how her victories bring such joy to the people of Ukraine.
After making the last eight of Roland-Garros last month, is Svitolina about to reach the quarter-finals of a second successive Grand Slam? She plays Victoria Azarenka, who has reached two Wimbledon semi-finals.
Junior to senior
Nothing comes easily amid the petunias and the ivy-covered walls: winning a girls' singles title at the All England Club is absolutely no guarantee of future success at a senior level.
But recall how Ashleigh Barty was a junior champion here in 2011 and lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish a decade later, so it's definitely possible to do the grass court double. Sunday's fourth round meeting pairs two former girls' singles champions when Iga Swiatek (2018 winner) takes on Belinda Bencic (2013).
World No.1 Swiatek, who won Roland-Garros for the third time last month for her fourth major overall, is looking to reach the quarter-finals of The Championships for the first time.
Right place, right time
"Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?" It was a question that a former Buffalo Bills coach used to put to his players. Jessica Pegula, whose parents now own that American football team, appears to be enjoying herself in the here and now as she has advanced into the fourth round for the first time.
The No.4 seed from the United States plays Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko.
Shapovalov on rise
In the two years since Denis Shapovalov reached the last four here, he hasn't played in another Grand Slam semi-final. But the left-handed Canadian could be about to change that.
He has a fourth round match with unseeded Roman Safiullin, with a possible quarter-final against Italy's Jannik Sinner to come.
