Wimbledon 2023 is all set to approach the business end of things with Tuesday marking.
The beginning of the quarterfinal matches and we will have Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek in action on day 9 of the grand slam.
Djokovic was given a stern test by Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the round of 16 and had to dig deep to overcome his opponent. The match, which was suspended on Sunday due to curfew, would continue on Monday and Hurkacz drew first blood in the clash on day 8, by taking the third set.
Wimbledon 2023, Day 8: Wrap
Djokovic, who wasn’t up to his mark in the first two sets, would get his groove back in the fourth one and won it 6-4 to enter the quarterfinals and continue his journey towards the 8th Wimbledon crown.
The Serbian will be facing seventh seed Andrey Rublev at Centre Court on Tuesday in the final eight stage.
Much like Djokovic, Swiatek also had a very tough match in the round of 16 as she saved the game from match point to record a brilliant comeback win against Belinda Bencic. The World No.1 has said that she is starting to love the grass surface more and more with each passing day and the big test for her in the quarterfinals comes in the form of Elina Svitolina.
Jessica Pegula and Jannik Sinner will also be in action on Tuesday in their respective quarterfinal matches against Marketa Vondrousova and Roman Safiullin.
