Stop due to rain, continue with the roof closed
Punctual, as often happens at this time of year, the rain arrived in London. The first two matches of the day have been suspended, i.e. the first two quarter-finals of the women’s singles with Swiatek and Svitolina on the central court and Pegula-Vondrousova on stage number 1. Soon the indoor version will resume on both courts (with closed roof). The first two quarter-finals of the men’s singles followed. On the central Rublev-Djokovic, on the number 1 Sinner-Safiullin.

Djokovic is also on the field
The other two quarterfinal matches will have the honor of the Central court. The program will be opened at 2.30 pm by the challenge between the n. 1 of the world Every Swiatek and ukraine Elina Svitolina (1-0 in the meetings: 6-2, 7-5 in the quarterfinals in Rome 2021). He will then return to the field again, for the third day in a row, Novak Djokovic (n. 2), who will deal with the Russian Andrey Rublev (No. 7). The Serbian easily won 3 out of 4 direct clashes (6-3, 6-2 and 6-4, 6-1 at the ATP Finals in Turin 2021 and 2022 and then 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 this year at the Australian Open) but curiously lost (6-2, 6-7, 6-0) the only challenge played in front of his own audience: the final on clay in Belgrade 2022.

The precedents between Sinner and Safiullin
There is only one precedent between Sinner and Safiullin: in the 2022 ATP Cup, in Sydney on outdoor hard courts, Sinner won 7-6 (8/6), 6-3. The match was placed as the second match after the women’s quarterfinal duel between the American Pegula (n. 4) and the Czech Vondrousova, which started at 2.00 pm. Presumably, therefore, the match will start around 3.45 pm. Changeable skies without rain are expected in London at that time. You should therefore play regularly outdoors, without the aid of the roof.

Sinner chasing the semifinal
Having lost Matteo Berrettini, stopped in the round of 16 by Alcaraz, the Italy of tennis clings to Jannik Sinner, engaged today in the quarterfinals. The 21-year-old South Tyrolean will try to dispel the semifinal taboo in a Grand Slam. Sinner, seeded no. 8, and the Russian Roman Safiullin, no. 92 Atp, will play on field n. 1, the same where the blue has already defeated Schwartzman in the second round and then Galan, last Sunday, in the round of 16. A little extra advantage for Sinner who, as can be seen from the rankings, starts as a clear favorite in a match that could open the doors to the semifinals in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time after 16 attempts after 5 placements in the quarterfinals.
