Defending champion Novak Djokovic will meet 10th seed Jannik Sinner on Centre Court as Wimbledon enters the quarter-final stage on Tuesday. Djokovic is coming off a gruelling last 16 match on Saturday against Dutchman Tim van Rijthoven, which the world No. 3 came through in four sets after initially being troubled by his opponent's booming serve and single-handed backhand combination.
Ons Jabeur will aim to continue her love affair with grasscourts on Friday when the Tunisian star competes in the third round of Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic dropped a set on the way to the second round at Wimbledon on Monday and did not look like the Mr Consistency who has become the first player to win 80 singles matches in each of the Grand Slam tournaments. But his opponents know that once the Serbian finds his 2022 grass legs, they will more than likely follow first-round victim Kwon Soo-woo out of the event. Djokovic had played no competitive tennis on grass coming into the tournament and ground out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against the lively South Korean. "I did not start or did not play at my best but I think when I needed to find the right shots, I did," Djokovic said. "I know I can do better." The top seed won three out of four Grand Slam titles last year but lost in the U.S. Open final in September then caused controversy when he arrived to defend his Australian Open title only to be held and then deported because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Novak Djokovic became the first player to win 80 matches at all four Grand Slams as he made a successful start to his Wimbledon title defence on Monday while teenage star Carlos Alcaraz battled over five sets to make the second round. Six-time champion and top seed Djokovic saw off South Korea's Kwon Soo-woo 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. But 20-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic was made to work after falling a break down in the opening two sets against his 81st-ranked opponent. "Now we have got to 80 wins, let's get to 100," said Djokovic. Djokovic, 35, is attempting to win a fourth successive Wimbledon title and join a select group. In the Open era, only Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer have managed such a streak at the All England Club.
Order of Play for Monday, June 27 at the All England Lawn Tennis Championship, Wimbledon, London.
Emma Raducanu has found out her first opponent for the upcoming Championships at Wimbledon: Belgian Alison van Uytvanck, but who else stands in her way? The 19-year-old is keen to forget her clay-court woes and focus on the present — the grass — in front of a full SW19 crowd for the first time. Ad/> Raducanu is seeded 10th for these Championships, but that doesn't mean that her route to glory will be any easier.
Emma Raducanu has a tough opening match on her return to Wimbledon as she will face recent Surbiton and Gaiba champion, and strong grass-courter, Alison van Uytvanck. The 19-year-old made her Grand Slam debut at the All England Club a year ago as the 338th-ranked wildcard and returns as the 10th seed and US Open champion. Raducanu is in the opposite half of the draw to world No 1 Iga Swiatek and 23-time Major champion Serena Williams so could only face them in the final, but has this year's Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins and in-form world No 3 Ons Jabeur in her quarter.
