Tennis: Will Tsitsipas break deadlock at Wimbledon?

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 1 July 2019

It has been 17 years since anyone other than Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Andy Murray have been able to take home the Wimbledon Cup.

The most-famous tournament in tennis hits-off tonight in London and all bets seem to be in favour of the old guard. Djokovic is the youngest of the big three and told reporters at Wimbledon that Nadal and Federer had been great teachers as well as competitors.

But there is hope some of the sport's newest rockstars like 21-year-old Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas might be able to break the deadlock.
