There is no greater costume change in tennis than going from Wimbledon whites to black tie, and never before have so many British players walked the purple carpet into the Champions Dinner.Based on the number of British winners, Andy Murray was undoubtedly correct when he described Sunday as the greatest day in the history of British tennis. Murray might have buried his head in a towel after defeating Milos Raonic to score his second Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam, but he plainly wasnt the only British player who experienced high emotion and then had to find some party clothes.Among the British winners was Heather Watson who, playing alongside Finlands Henri Kontinen, claimed the mixed doubles title for what was her first Grand Slam. She also became the first British woman since Jo Durie in 1987 to hold a Wimbledon doubles title.History was also made by Gordon Reid, who won the inaugural wheelchair mens singles title, a day after he and fellow Briton Alfie Hewett had taken the wheelchair doubles title. Jordanne Whiley was another British champion as she combined with Japans Yui Kamiji to take the wheelchair womens doubles title for a third successive year.Still, for all the joy and euphoria of prize-giving weekend, and for all the mid-tournament fun of qualifier Marcus Willis playing Roger Federer in the second round, or Dan Evans encountering the Swiss a round later, lets not imagine that British tennis is in perfect health.The true test of Willis ability and character will come when the new world No. 418 (he has climbed 354 places in the rankings) returns to the grind of playing third-tier tournaments in front of single-digit crowds -- as far removed as possible from the experience of facing Federer in front of 15,000 spectators on Centre Court. And can Evans, now up to a career high of 73 in the rankings, play at a consistently high level for the rest of the summer and then until the end of the season?Consider how Watson, despite her success in the mixed doubles, had a horrible first-round defeat in the womens singles after failing to close out match points, with that calamity made even worse by the $12,000 fine she received for bashing her racket on the grass (that would turn out to be the biggest fine for any player during The Championships).Jo Konta, who was the first British woman since the 1980s to be seeded in the womens singles draw, lost in the second round, though she was a little unfortunate to have had played Canadas Eugenie Bouchard, a former finalist.Also unlucky with her draw was Laura Robson, who was paired in the opening round with Angelique Kerber, the eventual finalist, with the former girls champion unable to threaten the German as she won just four games during her straight-sets defeat.While Kyle Edmund is now a top-100 player, he is yet to win a set in the main draw at the All England Club, after four defeats in the opening round at The Championships during his career. Unlike, say, British wild card James Ward, who drew Novak Djokovic in the first round, Edmund had what appeared to be a winnable match against Frances Adrian Mannarino. At the very least, you would have expected him to have won a set.This was Jamie Murrays first Wimbledon as the doubles world No. 1, but it didnt work out as planned with he and his Brazilian partner, Bruno Soares, going no further than the quarterfinals. Only one British girl or boy -- Gabriella Taylor -- made it through to the quarterfinals of the junior singles events, and she was forced into retiring from her match through illness, and was later taken to intensive care.With Andy Murray saying on Monday it is highly unlikely he will compete in Britains Davis Cup quarterfinal against Serbia, the tie will be an opportunity for Britains B-team to show what they can do on a (clay) tennis court. While Serbia will also be playing their B-team, with Djokovic and Victor Troicki also absent, the weekend in Belgrade may end up revealing more about the state of British mens tennis than the past fortnight on the Wimbledon grass did.

Wholesale Custom Cubs Shirts .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court.Aston Villa boss Remi Garde admitted defeat to Stoke was difficult to take as they edged ever closer to relegation from the Premier League. Villas survival mission looks ever more impossible as they remain seven points adrift of the pack after a Marko Arnautovic double helped City to a 2-1 victory at the Britannia Stadium.Their 17th league defeat in 27 matches this season was a familiar tale, with defensive deficiencies and attacking ineptitude paving the way for the loss Although Garde felt his side recovered from their 6-0 thrashing against Liverpool in their previous match, he admitted their soft centre eventually cost them.It was a very difficult defeat [to take], the Frenchman told Sky Sports.I think we played quite well in the first half, we defended well and created chances, but we know that it is difficult for us to create chances at the moment. A Villa supporter holds a banner protesting against owner Randy Lerner We started slowly in the first 15 minutes of the second half and conceded the penalty and then the second one was a strange goal [which] for me is the fragility of the team.The travelling Villa supporters vented their anger at the clubs owner by chanting Randy Lerner out, but Garde insists it did not distract his players.Not at all a distraction for me, he said. I was concentrating on the game and I think the players [were] doing the same. Leandro Bacuna says a sloppy start to the second half was costly This is not part of our job to comment on the situation.dddddddddddd My job is to concentrate on the job. I try to keep this team as high as I can with the tools that I have got and Im only focused on that. Im not here to comment on any other things.Weve improved our team spirit on what we have done, or not done, in this game.We were at the same level we were at before the Liverpool game, but then we were without our attacking forward, so didnt create enough.
