Novak Djokovic follows Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals. With a convincing performance, the Serb releases Karen Khachanov with 6: 4, 6: 2 and 6: 2.
The young Russian makes too many unnecessary mistakes throughout the game, Djokovic plays solidly from the base but give his service twice – which, considering the seven breaks of Djokovic does not matter. In the next round, the "Djoker" meets Kei Nishikori.
Rafael Nadal is racing at Wimbledon. The Spaniard makes no effort against the Czech Jiri Vesely and remains like Roger Federer in the tournament even without a series of losses. 6: 3, 6: 3 and 6: 4 is the clear verdict in favor of the Spaniard.
This leaves the hope of the world of tennis that it comes to the final recovery of 2008, when Nadal Federer in an epic match broke out and the Wimbledon maestro panicked. In the next round, King of Sands meets the winner of the match between Juan-Martin Del Potro and Gilles Simon. This match had to be canceled due to the darkness after a 2: 1 lead for Del Potro.
The next opponent of Roger Federer is already known. The Swiss will face South African Kevin Anderson, who beats Frenchman Gael Monfils in a spectacular match. At 7: 6, 7: 6, 5: 7 and 7: 6, Anderson is the best player in crucial moments and again was incredible.
Vekic fails despite Stan's support
Wild play is pretty much in the true sense of the word for women. With Karolina Pliskova (WTA 8), the last of the top 10 players flies before the quarterfinals! This has never happened in history. The Czech lost to Kiki Bertens 3-6 and 6-7. Thus, the title field is wide open
Despite the moral support of his friend Stan Wawrinka in the stands, Donna Vekic (Croatia), who is in the second week of a major for the first time, appears against German Julia Görges. There is a controversial scene with Cibulkova – Hsieh. A Slovak return is issued, but Hsieh plays the ball in the front field. Cibulkova takes up the challenge, the ball is clear
The referee gives the point of incomprehensible way to Cibulkova, but Hsieh refuses to continue playing. Only after eight minutes of discussion – even with the referee – the point is repeated. Few things did, but Cibulkova wins in two sets
Meanwhile, Serena Williams continues her march. The American remains in the fourth round without injury and wins against Evgeniya Rodina without problems with 6: 2 and 6: 2.
Raonic meets Isner
In the second quarterfinal in half of the Federer table he is a duel of two serving giants between John Isner and Raonic Milos. The Canadian Raonic has four sets against the underdog McDonald, winning 6: 3, 6: 4, 6: 7 and 6: 2. Isner can now save some strength and win against Youngster Tsitsipas with 6: 4, 7: 6 and 7: 6.
Also in the quarterfinals is Kei Nishikori. The reigning Japanese beat Latvian Ernests Gulbis in four sets with 4: 6, 7: 6, 7: 6 and 6: 1. With Gulbis, he did not pass anything after being injured at tie-break of the third set at the knee and we had to take care of it
