Overview

  • Cameron Norrie battled through a four-hour, five-set match to defeat qualifier Nicolas Jarry and become only the third British man in 50 years to reach multiple Wimbledon quarter-finals.
  • Novak Djokovic recovered from a 1-6 opening set to beat Alex de Minaur 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, securing his 16th Wimbledon quarter-final and moving within reach of a record-equalling eighth title.
  • World number one Aryna Sabalenka won in straight sets to extend her unbeaten run and chase a first Wimbledon crown, while defending men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz also advanced in four sets.
  • The All England Club apologized for a server glitch that deactivated its new electronic line-calling mid-match and restored full functionality ahead of the second week.
  • With the last eight confirmed, Centre Court will host starkly contrasting duels from home favourite Norrie against Alcaraz to Djokovic’s quarter-final clash with Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli.
