            Sunday\u2019s action delivered classic battles, surprises, and a dash of drama. With the quarterfinals now set, the intensity at Wimbledon is only heating up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Onto the fantasy leaderboard:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            We have yet another new leader in this unpredictable Wimbledon Championships. ‘Carry on Regardless’ moves up a spot and into 1st place. Their lead is just a singular point however over our previous leader ‘Deuce Bags’. ‘Anyone for Tea 2’ has moved up nicely. They moved up 6 spots and into 3rd position and are just 5 points off the leader.
            There is a tie for 4th between ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Hard Hitters’ who sit 7 points off the leader. ‘Drop Shot like it’s Hot’ remains in 6th position and the last prize position is a 3-way tie between ‘Net Breakers’, ‘Get a Grip’ and ‘SERVED’.
            2 lucky prizes are currently being won with ‘Rally Tally’ sitting in 75th spot and ‘Charlsetters’ who sit in 87th.
            The wooden spoon is a 2-way fight for now as ‘Green Gables’ and ‘Forrest Town’ sit in a joint last place.<\/p>\n\n\n
