The round of 16 posters from Monday

• Novak Djokovic (SRB/ATP 2) see Hubert Hurkacz (POL/ATP 18) 7: 6 (8: 6), 7: 6 (8: 6), 5: 7, 6: 4

33 aces weren’t enough for Hubert Hurkacz to stop Novak Djokovic’s run at Wimbledon. The Serbian title defender had to fight hard for the first time, but was able to rely on his routine. Overall, the “Djoker” was safer in the crucial moments. For example at the end of the first set: Hurkacz led 6:3 in the tie-break, had 3 set balls, but Djokovic fended them all off. The game was interrupted late on Sunday evening after 2 sets and continued on Monday. Hurkacz was self-confident and was the first player in the tournament to take a set from Djokovic. But the 36-year-old regained his strength: After more than 3 hours, the mass was read on Center Court. Djokovic meets Andrej Rublev (ATP 7) in the quarterfinals. He wants to create the 5th title in a row and the 8th overall on “Church Road”.

• Christopher Eubanks (USA/ATP 43) see Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE/ATP 5) 3: 6, 7: 6 (7: 4), 3: 6, 6: 4, 6: 4

“It’s absolutely surreal”: Appropriate words from Christopher Eubanks after the world number 43 made the quarter-finals entry perfect. The American defeated world number 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) after just over 3 hours in 5 sets. He put his fighting qualities to the test, managed to turn the game after being 2-1 behind and continues to write his personal fairy tale: His best result so far in Grand Slam tournaments was making it into the second round at the last Australian and US Open. In the game against Tsitsipas he managed the decisive break at 4: 3 in the deciding set. During the game, both players alternated high-quality and error-prone phases. In the quarter-finals, the next touchstone awaits Eubanks with Daniil Medvedev.

• Daniil Medvedev (RUS/ATP 3) sees Jiri Lehecka (CZE/ATP 37) 6: 4, 6: 2, where

For the first time ever, Medvedev has reached the round of 8 at Wimbledon. The Russian was ahead 6-4, 6-2 against Jiri Lehecka before the Czech world number 37 had to retire at the beginning of the third set. Lehecka was plagued by foot pain. After the first round, the 21-year-old, who had fought Tommy Paul (USA) for more than 4 hours in the third round, withdrew to the catacombs with a medical timeout. He committed 33 unforced errors in the first two sets.
