Best Match
There were incredible matches throughout the fortnight, but Rafael Nadal's epic win in five sets over Juan Martin del Potro, 7-5, 6-7 (7), 4- 6, 6-4, 6-4, in the quarterfinals could have a place among the best of Wimbledon.
Stretching over four hours and 47 minutes – the second longest match of the tournament after the epic six and a half semifinal of Kevin Anderson and John Isner both fought for each point, run through the court, and sometimes plunge into the stands. It was a sight to behold.
Both left everything they had, and then some, on the short, and this provided fans of entertainment in the crowd, and those who look at home, will not forget anytime soon. After Nadal won the match point, he climbed onto the net to give Del Potro a hug in a remarkable demonstration of sportsmanship and respect between the two athletes. Even a disappointed Del Potro admitted that it was an amazing contest later in the night.
"I loved the match today," he said afterwards. "The crowd was amazing, they were excited to continue watching tennis between Rafa and me, we played very good points, we ran a lot, I think we had a good game."

Largest "Not so fast!" Moment
After winning his match of the series 4 in three sets against Adrian Mannarino, Roger Federer seemed inevitably inevitable: a ninth trophy at the All England Club
However, sometimes things do not go to plan, and the underdogs can finally come out victorious. And if you do not believe us, ask Federer himself or the World Cup team of England. But before anyone knew that Federer's race would end in the quarterfinals against Kevin Anderson, and that England was hoping to bring him home, a reporter asked Federer to potentially be in the final. at Wimbledon. England would play for the title of the World Cup. His response, though completely ridiculous, was delightful at the time, and one almost feels like a parallel universe is being discussed in hindsight.
Question: Do not overtake us, but in the final there is a potential clash with the World Cup final. Obviously, England could potentially skip the semifinal and play at the same time as maybe Sunday. Would you be concerned that people can simultaneously watch the World Cup match, react to that, while in the Center Court? Would this affect the atmosphere?
Federer: "Well, it's going to happen anyway, whether I'm going to the final or not, the Wimbledon final will take place, and so will the Cup final of the world. I am more concerned that the World Cup final will be in trouble because the Wimbledon final will continue. They will hear every point, Wow, Love-15, 15-30. Players will look in the crowd and not understand what is happening at Wimbledon. That's the importance of Wimbledon for me and for us here. Maybe you should ask questions in Russia, how they will feel about Wimbledon played at the same time. "

The greatest moment of "Oh s —"
After a stunning first week that has seen nine of the seeds of the top 10 women are sent home, Karolina Pliskova, seeded No. 7, is the only one left in the "Manic Monday". However, she was unable to wear the coat for her other seeds, and she was upset in the fourth round by Kiki Bertens.
This was the first time in the Open era (since 1968) when none of the top 10 heads were playing. in the quarterfinals, and questions abounded as to why. However, Pliskova had little interest in trying to make sense of this – as the l & # 39; a journalist learned the hard way after his match.
