Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner stay on course for a wonderful semi-final collision at Wimbledon-but only after serious fears.
The quarterfinals start on Tuesday, with world song One Aryna Sabalenka opening Play on Center Court before the last remaining singles of Great Britain Hope Cameron Norrie tackles the defense of men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Here the PA -press agency looks back on the Monday action and an example of day nine of the championships.
Djokovic wakes up to the minaur
Novak Djokovic recovered from his worst first set in Wimbledon to fight the Minaur in four sets and reach a 16th quarterfinals in SW19.
The sevenfold champion made 16 casual mistakes, including four double mistakes, and left three times behind when he lost the first set 6-1.
BU, the Serbian stays at a semi -final collision course with Jannik Sinner, who seemed to be on his way to an early exit before Grigor Dimitrov suffered a heartbreaking injury.
The 34-year-old Bulgarian was two sets and played some inspired tennis when he held his chest on 2-2 in the third set after serving an AAS and forced to retire.
World number one sinner, who helped Dimitrov to take away his rackets and wear his bag from the court, said: “I don’t take this as a victory at all. This is just a very unhappy moment to testify for all of us.”
In the zone
Mirra Andreeva was so focused on the constant winning of the next point that she did not realize that she had won.
The 18-year-old Russian set aside Emma Navarro in straight sets to reach her first quarter final of Wimbledon.
But for her hero Roger Federer, she was not aware of the fact that the referee announced her as the winner.
“I kept telling myself that I am not the one on the score, I am the one who is not,” she explained. “That helped me to stay focused and in the end I completely forgot the score.
“I’m glad I did it because I think I would have been more nervous at a match point three times.”
Ai here to stay
Wimbledon bosses are “deeply disappointed” by Sunday’s electronic calling, but it it will no longer happen.
All Chief Executive Sally Bolton from England said: “We have done a complete assessment of all our systems and processes to check all those things and to ensure that we have made the right changes that we had to make, both historically and ahead. So we have absolute faith in the system.”
Organizers later clarified the changes that were made, with a spokesperson who said: “After our assessment, we removed the possibility for Havik-Eye operators to deactivate the ball ranges manually. This error cannot be repeated now.”
Match of the day
Cameron Norrie is confronted with the Ultimate Wimbledon challenging while striving to deduct title defender Carlos Alcaraz.
The British number three is for the first time to the quarterfinals since he reached the last four in 2022, which was the last time that the Spanish Superster Alcaraz lost a match in SW19.
Since then, Norrie van Acht in the world has fallen to a low point of 91, while Alcaraz, 22, has won two Wimbledons, opens two French and open a US.
But Alcaraz does not take anything for granted, insisting that Norrie is confronted in a home floor, “almost a nightmare”.
