Wimbledon 2014 Results: Scores and Lessons Learned from Day 5 of Action

There's just something about Wimbledon that feels like summer, like the sound of a baseball cracking against a mitt or the taste of lemonade. It's those baselines worn and weathered, the all-white attire, the legendary matches of the past. 

While the epic contests and memorable matchups will likely be saved for later in the tournament, there was still plenty worth discussing on Day 5 as this legendary tournament completed another day of action. Let's break down the results and major storylines from Friday.

Lessons Learned

Andy Murray Looks Primed for a Repeat

Three matches. Three wins. Zero sets lost. It's safe to say Andy Murray is feeling pretty good thus far at Wimbledon. 

Maybe there's just something about that famous, faded grass. Maybe it is his new coach, Amelie Mauresmo. Or maybe this is just what he does at this tournament, as the following tweet from ESPN Stats & Information can attest to:

Whatever the case may be, Murray smoked Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets and never really looked all that challenged in the process. Murray hasn't exactly lit the world on fire since Wimbledon last year, but he's certainly feeling it thus far.

Another Grand Slam, Another Set of Upsets in the Women's Game

The French Open was defined, at least on the women's side, by a large number of upsets. Day 5 at Wimbledon built upon that theme, as No. 2 Li Na and No. 10 Dominika Cibulkova were eliminated, joining No. 7 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and No. 8 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus on the casualties list.

And a few more top players looked shaky. No. 30 Venus Williams gave Petra Kvitova all she could handle before falling in a marathon match, while Simona Halep needed three sets to defeat Lesia Tsurenko.

While the men's side is often brilliant because of the epic battles between the top four, the women's side of the draw at Grand Slams often enthralls us with its sheer unpredictability. This year's Wimbledon seems to be following that familiar storyline.

Grigor Dimitrov Can Survive Any Rally

Unreal stuff. It took Grigor Dimitrov all five sets to defeat Alexandr Dolgopolov, and he needed every point he could get. This was by far the most impressive of those points, however.

Jerzy Janowicz Has a Vendetta Against the Camera

And this is why being a cameraman is a scary job.
