The Italian showed a tremendous performance in the round of 16 at Wimbledon and defeated Carlos Alcaraz.

Sunday’s round of 16

  • Carlos Alcaraz (ESP/ATP 7) and Jannik Sinner (ITA/ATP 13) 1:6, 4:6, 7:6 (10:8), 3:6
  • Novak Djokovic (SRB/ATP 3) see Tim van Rijthoven (NED/ATP 104) 6:2, 4:6, 6:1, 6:2
  • Frances Tiafoe (USA/ATP 28) and David Goffin (BEL/ATP 58) 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 7-5, 4-6, 5-7
  • Cameron Norrie (GBR/ATP 12) see Tommy Paul (USA/ATP 32) 6: 4, 7: 5, 6.4

It’s not long since had Jannik Sinner has not yet won a single grass match in his career. After 7 days of Wimbledon in 2022, his match record on the green sheet is 4: 4. After Stan Wawrinka, Mikael Ymer and John Isner, the South Tyrolean defeated Carlos Alcaraz in four sets in the round of 16 on Sunday on Center Court in the eagerly awaited duel of the young stars. The 20-year-old showed a very strong performance, especially in the first two rounds. Although the number 13 in the world left 2 match points in the tie-break of the 3rd round – 1 hour later he did better on his own serve and used his 6th opportunity to win.

Van Rijthoven only challenges Djokovic at the beginning

The Italian will be there in the quarterfinals Novak Djokovic get to do. The Serb seeded number 1 finally solved the duel with Tim van Rijthoven, which was crystal clear on paper, without any effort. The Dutchman, who surprisingly won the tournament as a wildcard holder in s’Hertogenbosch and then received a special starting place in Wimbledon, demanded everything from Djokovic, especially in the first two sets. After equalizing the set, more and more mistakes crept into the 25-year-old’s game. In the last two rounds, which only lasted 67 minutes, the favorite only lost 3 games.

Back on the big stage too David Goffin. After a season marred by injury and missing Wimbledon, the Belgian beat Frances Tiafoe in 4:36 in a five-set on Sunday – going as far as when he last competed at Church Road in 2019 , Tiafoe, on the other hand, was physically out of shape by mid-game. After winning the 3rd round, he received medical treatment and received a pill. After that, he never won a set.

With Cameron Norrie for the first time in 5 years, a Briton is among the last 8 in the men’s tableau. The 26-year-old gave up his serve only once against Tommy Paul and easily qualified for the quarter-finals. Although Norrie cracked the top ten in May, it’s the first time he’s gotten that far in a Grand Slam tournament.
