Victories by No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 2 Andy Murray meant it was the top names who eventually triumphed at Wimbledon. But the tournament also had its share of Cinderella runs, starting with the unlikely story of a teaching pro who decided to take another shot at the big time. Here are the top five surprise performances from this years tournament.1. Marcus WillisThe buildup had begun days before, with word that a part-time coach from Britain had come through prequalifying to get a shot at playing the worlds biggest tournament. Interest increased as Willis then proceeded to qualify for the main draw -- even Roger Federer started paying attention. By the time he defeated Ricardas Berankis in the first round for a seventh successive victory, there was practically a frenzy.His story was told again and again. The 26-year-old, who was ranked No. 772 and drank soda and ate candy bars during matches, had almost quit the game. He decided to come back and then almost quit again before his girlfriend persuaded him to take another shot. Most weeks he was either giving lessons at a local court or traipsing around Europe competing in league tennis. Now he was facing Federer on Centre Court of the All England Club, a packed crowd cheering as he hit a couple of spectacular winners during an entertaining encounter. Not my standard Wednesday, Willis said after his 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 loss.2. Dominika CibulkovaCibulkova had such a low opinion of her grass-court skills that she scheduled her wedding on the day of the Wimbledon womens final. Just one potential problem: Shes actually not so bad on the grass.Starting with a title at the warm-up event at Eastbourne, Cibulkova won nine straight matches on grass, putting her wedding plans in disarray. Her fourth-round victory against Agnieszka Radwanska was one of the finest of the tournament -- a three-setter Cibulkova called an amazing, amazing match and the most physically tough contest of her career. But the Slovaks run was stopped in the quarterfinals by Elena Vesnina, giving her plenty of time to get to the church.It was a good showing for the small, but powerful Cibulkova. A former finalist at the Australian Open, she had heel surgery a year ago and has run into some tough draws this season. With her ranking back up to No. 12, she will now get the benefit of being seeded at tournaments.Its probably good she didnt book a honeymoon. Cibulkova is scheduled to play in next weeks WTA event at Stanford.3.?Elena VesninaVesninas wedding planning was better than Cibulkovas -- I did it in the offseason, she said -- which meant no scheduling concerns for the Russian as she reached her first Grand Slam semifinal.Though she wasnt much of a match for Serena Williams in the semis, it was still a long way from the qualifying events she had been playing just a couple of months ago.I was playing all tournaments starting from qualifications, she said. It was not easy, to be honest, because I was in top 30, then I was like No. 120.Im really happy that it didnt break me up. I think the difficult times, every single player has to go through it because it makes you better.Vesnina is now back up to No. 24 in the rankings and within reach of her career-high of No. 21 from 2013.4. Venus WilliamsReaching the Wimbledon semifinals wouldnt normally be a big deal for a five-time champion. But at 36, and with just one win this season over a player currently in the top 50 prior to Wimbledon, it was a big deal for Williams.Losing to Angelique Kerber in the semifinals prevented Venus from another dream Wimbledon final against her sister, but the older Williams did come away with a trophy as she combined with Serena to win the womens doubles.Along the way, Venus cemented her position as the elder stateswoman of the game. And shes not done yet.Retiring is the easy way, she said. I dont have time for easy. Tennis is just hard.5. Sam QuerreyNot even Querrey suspected he would beat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. Until he won the first-set tiebreak, anyway. Then he told himself, All right, I can beat this guy.It took another day and several rain delays, but thats what he did, producing some big hitting and clutch serving to win in four sets. The 28-year-old American then won his fourth-round match against Nicolas Mahut to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.It may have been the biggest surprise of the tournament, and while it didnt get him any silverware, Querrey was the first player in over a year who could say he defeated Djokovic in a Grand Slam. Nike Sf Air Force 1 Norge . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. Air Force 1 Herre Norge . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. http://www.airforce1norge.com/air-force-1-just-do-it.html . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Air Force 1 Dame Norge . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago. Nike Air Force 1 Salg . Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. Middleweight titlist Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Mora will meet again.Jacobs will defend his secondary 160-pound title against former junior middleweight titleholder Mora on Sept. 9 at the Santander Center in Reading, Pennsylvania, in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike (9 p.m. ET), PBC announced on Thursday, making the long-rumored fight official.Jacobs and Mora first met last August at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in an unexpectedly wild fight. Both men got knocked down in the first round before the fight came to an abrupt conclusion in the second round. That is when Jacobs dropped Mora again and he broke his ankle going down and was unable to continue.Mora called for a rematch when he was healthy. Jacobs has repeatedly said he was not very interested in a second fight, but they will nonetheless do it again.This is business for me, but it is also more personal than any fight I have ever had, Jacobs said. Sergio has been using these antics online to get this rematch and he has gotten under my skin. There has been a lot of back-and-forth as far as peoples opinions as to who would have won the fight had he not gotten hurt. I am looking at this as an opportunity to clarify that I am the real champion. I want to shut his trap in prime time.While Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs), 29, of Brooklyn, went on to defend his belt by knocking out neighborhood rival Peter Quillin in 75 seconds in December, The Latin Snake Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs), 35, of East Los Angeles, has not fought since he broke his ankle against JJacobs.dddddddddddd.I dont think Jacobs wanted this rematch, but it was destined to happen and now he has to deal with it, Mora said. I thought the first fight was going my way. I knocked him down in the first round and was out-boxing him in the second round. He knows that I have enough power to hurt him. He has more to worry about going into this fight than in the first fight. Look at my resume, I have fought solid opposition. Jacobs doesnt have that type of resume.In the co-feature, Ghanas Richard Commey (24-0, 22 KOs), 29, and Robert Easter (17-0, 14 KOs), 25, of Toledo, Ohio, will meet for a vacant lightweight world title. Commey and Easter, who have both knocked out their last five opponents, will be meeting for the 135-pound belt recently vacated by Rances Barthelemy, who elected to move up in weight.Commey was in the mandatory position to fight Barthelemy for the title before he left the weight class. Easter was next in line thanks to his explosive performance on April 1, when he stole the show with a huge one-punch fifth-round knockout of former junior lightweight titlist Argenis Mendez on the undercard of pal Adrien Broners knockout of Ashley Theophane.Also on the Sept. 9 card, heavyweight Travis Kauffman (30-1, 22 KOs), 30, of Reading, will fight an opponent to be determined in a 10-round bout. He is the son of promoter Marshall Kauffman, whose Kings Promotions is putting on the card. ' ' '
