Popyrin went down overnight to Djokovic, but not without a fight, taking the first set fairly comfortably in perhaps a surprise, but losing the next two sets, however the 4th went down to the wire in a tiebreak. Alexei will be kicking himself a little, but should be proud as well.
Best of luck to the Demon tomorrow, now the lone ranger for Australia
I wish Djokovic wasn’t playing, and I don’t want him to win.I want Sinner or Alcaraz to win instead
NZ qualifier Lulu Sun shocked local hope Emma Raducanu in three sets overnight.
UPDATE 10/7: Sun lost her quarter-final to Croatian Donna Vekic in three sets.
De Minaur out of Wimbledon with a hip injury. Such a shame, was looking forward to a big match against the Joker tonight, was not to be.
It means Djokovic has an easy pass to the semi finals
Exactly three years after winning the Wimbledon women’s singles title, Ash Barty made a triumphant return to Centre Court today at the All England Club.
The former world No.1 reunited with close friend and former partner Casey Dellacqua to score a 5-7 6-3 [10-7] victory against German Andrea Petkovic and Slovak Magdalena Rybarikova in a women’s invitational doubles match.
Krejčíková held her nerve in a tense final set to claim victory 6-2, 2-6, 6-4, sealing the win with her third championship point.
Here we go! Who have we got? Joker for mine, in a mini upset. Could go the distance though
Something tells me it will be Alcaraz in three…
Spot on!
Major #4 for the Spainard
6-2, 6-2, 7-6
No Australian winner at Wimbledon this year, with Emerson Jones losing the girls singles final.
Only Roger Federer has managed to win more than his first four Major finals in succession (Wimbledon 2003 - 2006 Australian Open). It took a Spaniard (Nadal) to beat him in a Major final (2006 French Open).
Carlos Alcaraz could complete a golden career Slam at a younger age than Federer was when he won his first Major (21y11m). The Spaniard will be 21y8m by the time next year’s Australian Open begins.
I’m so happy Carlos Alcaraz won his 4th Grand Slam and second Wimbledon crown
Definitely a changing of the guard in Men’s Tennis at long last
Agree, it was a dominant display, Djokovic has never been outplayed like that before, not for a long time anyway.
He also just avoided his worst ever defeat in a Major final, his worst being when he won only seven (or so) games against Rafa in the 2020 French Open final.
Well, the Joker got his long-awaited gold That first set was incredible
