Window into Wimbledon

ANT ATTACK

Plagued by an invasion of flying ants at Wimbledon, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga admitted the insect attack had got up his nose. Tsonga was bothered by the annoying bugs throughout his 6-1, 7-5, 6-2 victory over Simone Bolelli in the second round on Wednesday. Several other players were also seen swatting away the ants, but the 12th seed had an especially intimate encounter when one flew up his nose and another into his ear.

"That was strange. I had a few experiences in the United States sometimes. With the light at night sometimes you have big bugs. Or in Australia also you have these kind of things," he said. "But this was a little bit different, because these ones was very small but a lot. So it was special sometimes, it was in my nose and in my ear.”

MEDVEDEV LOSES HIS MARBLES, AND COINS

Daniil Medvedev, who had sensationally beaten U.S. Open champion Stan Wawrinka on Monday, suffered a meltdown on Court 16 following his 6-4 6-2 3-6 2-6 6-3 second-round loss to Ruben Bemelmans.

Medvedev grabbed his wallet and pulled out some coins before hurling them towards the foot of the umpire Mariana Alves's chair.

"In the heat of the moment, I did a bad thing. I apologise for this," the 21-year-old Russian said. "(It) was very hot out there. So I actually don't remember what I said during the match."

Medvedev admitted he was frustrated with a call made by Alves in the fifth set and that while packing up his belongings after the match, he saw his wallet and snapped.
