This time, however, Wawrinka didn’t even win a game, but he could still have extended the match, as he went as far as shortening the match in the third set. It’s just that Djokovic is also the king of tie breaks, he won Roland Garros a few weeks ago without making a single unforced error in his forehands.
Djokovic’s next opponent will be the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (seeded 14), who, like the Serbian, has not yet lost a game at Wimbledon this year. Hurkacz’s best Grand Slam result was the semi-final at Wimbledon two years ago, when Roger Federer was his victim to reach the last four. It turned out later that it was the last individual match of the Swiss legend’s career, and indeed he received a 6:0 as a parting gift from Hurkacz in his last game.
In the lower branch, the other pairings of the eighth finals: Sinner (Italian 8th) – Galán (Colombian), Safiullin (Russian) – Shapovalov (Canadian, 26th), Rublyov (Russian, 7th) – Bublik (Kazakh, 23rd)
Fucsovics and Gálfi are also on the field
Today, according to the plans, the pairings for the eighth finals will also be formed in the upper division. We are most looking forward to the match between Márton Fucsovics and third seed Danyiil Medvedev, which starts at 2 p.m. By then, Dalma Gálfi’s match starting at noon may even be over, and she will also face a Russian opponent, the 21st-ranked Ekatyerina Aleksandrova.
Among the women, the eighth finals took place in the upper division, in the biggest battle, the Ukrainian Leszia Curenko made it there, who finally won the tie break ending the final set 20-18 against the Romanian Ana Bogdan. The already known round of 16: Swiatek (Polish, 1st) – Bencic (Swiss, 14th), Azarenka (Belarusian, 19th) – Svitolina (Ukrainian), Pegula (American, 4th) – Curenko (Ukrainian), Vondrousová (Czech )–Bouzková (Czech, 32.)
