Serbian superstar leads: Djokovic’s game is interrupted after two sets

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

There was a lot of drama for the men on the middle Sunday, which has only been played regularly since last year. No. 7 seeded Russia Andrei Rublev wrestled Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik in five sets after losing sets 3 and 4 in the tiebreak.

This is one of the reasons why Novak Djokovic was unable to play his round of 16 against Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz until 8:49 PM local time and did not complete it. After the Serbian had won the first two sets in the tiebreak, the game was scheduled for Monday. The winner will face Rublev.

16-year-old Russian with a thrill

16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva continues to conquer the tennis world with big strides. At her Grand Slam debut a month ago in Paris, she reached the third round as a qualifier and now she is one step further at Wimbledon. In the last match of the 3rd round, which fell prey to the rain on Saturday, she clearly defeated her compatriot Anastasia Potapova 6:2, 7:5. Now she will meet number 25 seed Madison Keys, who won the pre-season tournament in Eastbourne this week and knocked out Swiss player Viktorija Golubic.

Andreyeva jumps from place 102 to at least the top 70 in the rankings. She is the youngest round of 16 at Wimbledon since Coco Gauff made her debut in 2019 at age 15.

Svitolina wins the battle of the mothers

The Ukrainian Yelina Svitolina won the emotional battle between mothers and the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in the tiebreak of the third set with 11:9. Two-time Australian Open winner Asarenka has a six-year-old son, Switolina has been Skaï’s mother since October last year.

While the father, the French tennis pro Gaël Monfils, takes care of the daughter at home, his wife, who is eligible to play thanks to a wild card, reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the second time after 2019. There she meets the number 1 in the world Iga Swiatek. (SDA)
