Also note the express qualification of Jessica Pegula (4) against Lesia Tsurenko in 1h15 (6/1, 6/3) and the stunning comeback of Marketa Vondrousova against Marie Bouzkova (2/6, 6/4, 6 /3). The Czech who, like Swiatek, is slowly adapting her grass game said: “I haven’t won many games on grass before, now I’m in the quarter-finals. I didn’t expect that! But I think you just have to believe in it, be open to it and work hard to That.”

The first of the day
If you follow the four Grand Slam tournaments diligently, then you know that Andrey Rublev’s name comes up regularly when you reach the second week. He is indeed a regular at the final stages since he has already played seven quarters in Major (two at the Australian Open and at Roland-Garros and three at the US Open). Yes, but until now, the world No. 7 had never reached this stage on the London lawn. It is now done!
At the end of a battle lasting nearly 3h30, punctuated by points as exceptional as they are incredible and an impressive number of aces (39 for Bublik), Andrey Rublev emerged victorious against his friend outside the courts, Alexander Bublik , 7/5, 6/3, 6/7(8), 6/7(7), 6/4.
Two weeks ago, the two men were already crossing swords. It was on the turf of the Halle tournament, in the final and the Kazakh had won the debates (6/3, 3/6, 6/3), thus winning for the first time against Rublev.
The champion in Monte Carlo earlier this year managed to get his revenge, when he was leading by two sets. By saving two match points at 5-4 in the fourth, Bublik offered himself (and the public at the same time) a decisive fifth set, synonymous with extending the show. At that time, Rublev managed to stay calm, which is not his usual quality. On an ace, he won the victory.
“I was able to stay focused and manage my serve. I knew he would do unpredictable things, I just told myself never to give up, until the end and I’m very happy to have held on and succeeded” he said at the sideline microphone. The experience seems to have its effect, like what everything comes to the point who knows how to wait.
