LONDON: Jannik Sinner advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals despite hurting his right elbow in a fall and dropping the first two sets Monday night, because his opponent, Grigor Dimitrov, had to quit with an injured pectoral muscle. The No. 1-seeded Sinner hadn’t dropped a set in the tournament until falling behind No. 19 Dimitrov 6-3, 7-5.
Ben Shelton reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal — doing a round better than his father-turned-coach, Bryan, did in 1994 — by beating Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 on Monday.
Highlights of the eighth day at the Wimbledon tennis championships on Monday (times GMT):
LONDON :Seven-times champion Novak Djokovic scored his 100th match win at Wimbledon and led the march of the old guard into the last 16 on Saturday while an ailing Barbora Krejcikova's title defence ended in defeat and tears.
LONDON :For tennis purists the sight of a single-handed backhand pinging off the centre of a racket is a joy to behold but it is becoming rare and Grigor Dimitrov, one of the best exponents of the shot, believes it could soon vanish.
LONDON :It took only seven points before the first forlorn shout of "C'mon Pedro" was warmly applauded by a Centre Court crowd who had already seen enough to know that Jannik Sinner was in for an easy Saturday afternoon at Wimbledon.
LONDON :Jannik Sinner may have equalled a professional-era Wimbledon record with his dominant opening week, but the world number one remains firmly focused on what is to come rather than adding entries in the history books.
