Never one to be accused of not trying, Dominika Cibulkova stuck out her stubborn Wimbledon run until Elena Vesnina saw otherwise in the quarterfinals. Away from her tennis, which was sterling in her upset of Agnieszka Radwanska in the preceding round, the storyline following the effervescent Slovakian was that she was to marry on July 9—Saturday, the day of the women's singles championship at the All England Club. Many wondered aloud whether she'd postpone the nuptial if she reached the title round.
Perhaps her remarkable Wimbledon run—following her Eastbourne title run leading up to this third major event of the season—was overshadowed by all the press surrounding her will-she-or-won't-she? wedding.
