Daniil Medvedev, Elena Rybakina Reach Wimbledon Quarters After Receiving Walkovers

Medvedev was 6-4, 6-2 ahead when his 37th-ranked opponent, who had needed a medical timeout for a right foot injury, retired from their Court One clash. Former US Open winner Medvedev will face either Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Greek world number five, or unseeded Christopher Eubanks of the United States for a place in the semi-finals. "I saw that his movement was restricted but I didn't see that it was causing any real trouble," said Medvedev.
