LONDON — Amanda Anisimova served three of her 20 aces in the deciding tiebreaker to hold off Sofia Kenin 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (3) and reach the third round at Wimbledon on Thursday as Kate, the Princess of Wales, visited the All England Club.

"Some moments were really awful. I'm just so happy through to the next round," Anisimova said on No. ...

Toward twilight on a long, hot early July day, I tossed a tiny Roostertail spinner toward the head of a long run on a wide creek, engaged the reel and retrieved the lure a few feet before it came to a dead stop. I gave the instinctive jerk and was rewarded with a showery leap of a fish silhouetted against the sun setting toward the hills. I was no stranger to fishing that day. I’d been an angler since I was a youngster, enjoying family ...
