Djokovic is still in the running for his eighth Wimbledon title with his 31st win in a row, which would see him level with Roger Federer. The second in the world rankings had no problems with Wawrinka for two sets, but had to go into a tie-break against the Swiss in the third. There Wawrinka was already in the lead with 5/3 before Djokovic scored four points in a row and used his first match point.
“First of all, I would like to say that it’s amazing what Stan is still able to do at his age. I respect him a lot as a player and like him as a person,” Djokovic said. “Stan was two points away from the fourth set in the tie break, but I really wanted to finish the match today. The atmosphere at Center Court was great, I hope the fans enjoyed it.”

The next opponent for Djokovic is the Pole Hubert Hurkacz, who prevailed against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti 7: 6 (7/4) 6: 4 6: 4. “I have to keep concentrating on my game, keep improving. The second week it gets even harder. Hurkacz is a turf specialist and has excellent service.”
Alcaraz with 41 unforced errors
Alcaraz showed an entertaining performance on the well-filled Center Court, but had to fight harder than expected due to a total of 41 unforced errors against the sometimes strong Müller, who is 84th in the ATP ranking. In the decisive moments, such as in the tie-break of the second set, the Spaniard showed his class.
“I’m getting more and more experience on grass and I’m getting better with every game,” said Alcaraz, who meets Chilean Nicolas Jarry in the third round. “Wimbledon is unlike any other tournament. I want to enjoy every single second, that’s what I did today,” said the 20-year-old Spaniard, who was in the round of 16 last year.
Alcaraz moves into the third round
As expected, Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the third round of the Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon. The top seeded Spaniard clearly prevailed against Frenchman Alexandre Müller on Friday despite a poor performance in the end.
Meanwhile, crowd favorite Andy Murray was eliminated. Exactly ten years to the day after his first title in the classic lawn, the 36-year-old Briton had to defeat Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6: 7 (3/7) 7: 6 (7/2) 6: 4 6: 7 (3/7 ) beaten 4:6. The Thiem conqueror converted his third match ball after 4:40 hours. The game was interrupted on Thursday evening after three sets due to the curfew in force from 11 p.m. local time.
Medvedev wins sequel
Daniil Medvedev didn’t have to stay long in the continuation of the game against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, which had been canceled the night before because of darkness. The Russian won 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7/5). To date he had lost three out of four grass encounters against Mannarino, now he reduced the head-to-head to 3: 4. In the fight for his only second round of 16 entry at Wimbledon, Medvedev meets the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.

Medvedev had previously lost an interrupted match the next day. “That was against Hurkacz. Back then I prepared as if for a new match, took an ice bath and did everything as if I had already won. I didn’t even wash my hair this time. I thought I’ll do that afterwards, and it worked,” he said, laughing.
Zverev continues after losing a set
Like Alcaraz and Medvedev, Rune also had to go into a tie-break before he was 6:3 7:6 (7/3) 6:4 winner over Roberto Carballes Baena (ESP). The 20-year-old Dane is only playing his eighth major or second Wimbledon tournament. Zverev defeated the Japanese “Lucky Loser” Yosuke Watanuki 6: 4 5: 7 6: 2 6: 2 and only had a few difficulties in the first two sets.
In the end, however, the German prevailed relatively easily and now meets Matteo Berrettini. “Matteo is one of the best lawn players in recent years,” said Zverev, looking at the duel with the Italian. “It’s his best surface, my worst, even though I like it here. Let’s see what happens,” said Zverev.
Top seeds Swiatek in the round of 16
In the women’s category, the top seeded Iga Swiatek won her duel against Petra Martic without losing a set 6:2 7:5 and is already in the round of 16. Swiatek delivered a solid performance over long stretches. Only when the score was 5: 4 in the second set did the Pole falter and gave up her service game to zero. However, the rebreak followed promptly, and the number one in the world served as a result. In the duel with the Swiss Belinda Bencic, Swiatek now has the chance to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time in her career.

Second seeded Aryna Sabalenka had a hard fight with French Varvara Gracheva for a long time, but in the end the Belarusian left the field 2-6 7-5 6-2 as the winner. Two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic also qualified for the round of 32 after just 74 minutes, beating Aljaxandra Sasnovich of Belarus 6-2, 6-2.
Tough match for Sabalenka
At Wimbledon, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka fought her way into the third round against Frenchman Varvara Gracheva. In the end she left the field as the winner with a score of 2:6 7:5 6:2.
