On the sidelines

Where there's smoke ... A small electrical fire broke out inside Wimbledon's Centre Court building on Wednesday, causing an evacuation after play had ended for the day.

The fire started inside a mechanical room in the east side of the building, All England Club spokesman Johnny Perkins said. There were no reports of injuries.

Serena Williams had just completed her win over Timea Babos on the court and was holding a media conference in an adjacent building when the evacuation began. It was not interrupted.
