LE MARKSTEIN, France—Sepp Kuss rolled slowly across the finish line, nearly 21 minutes after the leaders, bruised and bleeding profusely from cut above his eye and on his cheek. He had crashed hard on a downhill early during Saturday’s 20th stage of the Tour de France and now, he really needed two things.

When the Australian women’s soccer team gathered in Dublin two years ago for an exhibition game against Ireland, the players weren’t sure what to expect from the new hire on their coaching staff. He was asking a lot of questions about how much they’d slept on the plane, what their goals were, and when they planned to nap. He wanted to administer psychological screenings. This was, he said, “more of a sports science camp” than preparation for one match.

Photo: John Walton/PA/Associated PressWIMBLEDON, England—Days before the Wimbledon men’s final, Novak Djokovic stood on Centre Court and announced that he was still waiting for the next crop of young players to come and challenge him. Djokovic was 36 years old, a 23-time major winner and seemingly still at the height of his powers. “They want to win,” he joked, “but it ain’t happening.”

Marketa Vondrousova celebrates with the Venus Rosewater Dish trophy after winning the Wimbledon final. Photo: sebastien bozon/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesWIMBLEDON, England—Until this summer, Marketa Vondrousova had always found grass-court tennis nothing short of baffling. In four trips to the Wimbledon main draw, she had won just one match and never survived past the second round. So when she returned to the All England Club this summer, unseeded and still finding the surface “almost impossible,” she expected her stay to be short.

LONDON—Ons Jabeur watched four match points come and go on Thursday, each more frustrating than the last. She stared blankly at the grass after one, hung her head after another, and belted the ball into the stands with her right foot after her third. Then, on the fifth, Jabeur ran out of patience.

LONDON—Chris Eubanks was getting to that age at which tennis players with no professional titles begin to wonder whether it’s ever going to happen for them. He was in his mid-20s, several years out of Georgia Tech, and bouncing around lower-tier circuits and Grand Slam qualifying tournaments.

Christopher Eubanks advanced to the third round at Wimbledon after beating Cam Norrie on Friday. Photo: Alastair Grant/Associated PressLONDON—Christopher Eubanks was just eight minutes into his first match on a Wimbledon stadium court when his confidence began to surge. Even though he was facing British No. 1 Cam Norrie in front of a hometown crowd, Eubanks could sense on Friday that he was in his groove. Rattling off a service game with four consecutive aces will do that.

His name was Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, his family was incalculably wealthy, and his new plaything was facing Liverpool. That was in 2010.
