LONDON :Women's top seed Iga Swiatek survived a huge scare before reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time and was joined by Ukraine's Elina Svitolina who also came through an epic fourth-round scrap on Sunday.
Iga Swiatek saved two match points while Elina Svitolina triumphed in a stormy, politically-charged duel with Victoria Azarenka to set up a Wimbledon quarter-final showdown on Sunday as Novak Djokovic was defeated by a night-time curfew. World number one Swiatek beat Olympic champion Belinda Bencic 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/2), 6-3 on Centre Court. Over on Court One, Ukraine's Svitolina came from a set and break down to defeat Belarusian rival Azarenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (11/9).
LONDON: Andrey Rublev reaching the quarter-finals is one of the most predictable outcomes at a Grand Slam but there was nothing remotely routine about his five-set win over Alexander Bublik, his fourth round opponent at Wimbledon on Sunday (Jul 9).
Novak Djokovic will have to cancel his day off and work overtime after falling foul of Wimbledon's stubborn scheduling.
Novak Djokovic and Hubert Hurkacz will resume their fourth-round match at Wimbledon on Monday with the 24-time Grand Slam champion requiring just a set to advance. The Pole's huge serve made life uncomfortable for Djokovic and set up two tiebreakers but the second seed's quality shone through on both instances. Ad Djokovic, therefore, will be confident of advancing into the last-eight where he will meet Andrey Rublev who beat Alexander Bubliv in a thriller.
Andrey Rublev held his nerve to beat Alexander Bublik in a five-set thriller and reach his first Wimbledon quarter-final on Sunday after squandering a two-set lead.
There is one particular trait that sets Novak Djokovic apart from the rest as the Serbian eyes more history at Wimbledon, reckons Eurosport's Mats Wilander. In recent years especially, Djokovic has made it his signature to be able to find his best level in the year's most important matches, despite at times lacking competitive match practice. Ad That's been the case again at this edition of Wimbledon, with Djokovic transitioning from clay to grass via just a single exhibition tournament, but being nonetheless able to progress serenely through the draw thus far.
