“It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be electric. We’ve practised a bunch, and we both know each other’s games, so I expect a battle.” There will be fireworks in this match-up, and backing up the Djokovic scalp against the electric Tiafoe may be an even tougher task for Popyrin. The ninth seed made his way into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2019 by beating sixth seed Andrey Rublev.
The 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, result marks the second time Navarro has toppled Gauff at a grand slam this year, and puts her into a quarter-final against Spain’s 26th seed Paula Badosa.Advertisement It was third time lucky for the 28th-seeded Popyrin, who had been beaten by Djokovic at the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
