After a week of rain-drenched and rain delayed play, we're finally into the second week of Wimbledon. And if you're looking for good tennis, you found it on Day 8.
Alcaraz leads 2-1 at the start of the fourth set, but the match is still in progress. Stay tuned for an update once it concludes.There are only three Americans remaining at Wimbledon right now, and two of them — Chris Eubanks and Madison Keys — played on Monday. Both won their matches and are headed to the quarterfinals. It's Eubanks' first Grand Slam quarterfinal ever, and Keys' first Wimbledon quarterfinal since 2015.
Aryna Sabalenka, the No. 2 seed, had no problem dispatching Ekaterina Alexandrova. After a challenging first set, which Sabalenka won 6-4, she demolished Alexandrova and hung a bagel on her for a 6-0 second-set win. Ons Jabeur, seeded No. 7, positively crushed Petra Kvitova, who played nothing like herself. It's unusual to see Kvitova so meek and out of sorts. Jabeur, on the other hand, was playing with a strength and confidence that allowed her to be really free and daring. She beat Kvitova 6-0, 6-3 in just 63 minutes.
Elena Rybakina, the 2022 defending champion, is headed to the quarterfinals after Beatriz Haddad Maia retired due to injury after just 27 minutes.Novak Djokovic triumphed over Hubert Hurkacz 7-6, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 in a match that started on Sunday and was suspended due to the incredibly irritating Wimbledon curfew. Starting two sets down, Hurkacz won the third set to keep himself in it, but wasn't able to get past Djokovic in the fourth set.
Daniil Medvedev only played 91 minutes on Monday. Not because he was dominant, but because his opponent, Jiri Lehecka, was forced to retire due to an injury. That gives Medvedev his first trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.During the Medvedev-Lehecka match, one of Lehecka's returns ended up in a spectator's Pimm's cup.
