Wimbledon live in the ticker: Rafael Nadal challenges Lorenzo Sonego – Nick Kyrgios in a duel with Stefanos Tsitsipas

The last meeting took place this year at the lawn tournament in Halle. Kyrgios won the quarter-final ticket there after three contested sets (5: 7, 6: 2, 6: 4). Kyrgios and Tsitsipas intervene in the last match on Court No.1. Before that, Alex de Minaur and Liam Broady (from 2:00 p.m.) as well as Iga Swiatek and Alizé Cornet meet there.

For Nadal and Sonego, on the other hand, it is the first duel on the ATP tour. The probability is therefore all the greater that the Italian could develop into a stumbling block for his opponent, who appears to be overpowering.

Eurosport.de accompanies the sixth day of competition in Wimbledon in the live ticker.

The most important matches of the day:

• Coco Gauff (USA/11) – Amanda Anisimova (USA/20) 7:6, 2:6, 1:6
• Paula Badosa (ESP/4) – Petra Kvitova (CZE/25)
• Iga Swiatek (POL/1) – Alize Cornet (FRA) 4: 6, 2: 6 | To the report
• Lorenzo Sonego (ITA / 27) – Rafael Nadal (ESP / 2)
• Nick Kyrgios (AUS) – Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE/4)

Kyrgios – Tsitsipas 1:1

Kyrgios also finds it difficult to get into the game. The Australian’s service still needs fine-tuning. But Tsitsipas lacks the breakball move, which is why Kyrgios gets away again – 1: 1.

Kyrgios – Tsitsipas 0:1

Tsitsipas gets off to a flying start and initially catches Kyrgios on the wrong foot. But the momentum slips away from the Greek, Kyrgios places massive returns, Tsitsipas also puts two balls in the net. Kyrgios gets a breakball but misses his chance. Tsitsipas saves himself and makes it 1-0.

INFO – Kyrgios getting better and better on grass

Kyrgios has already had nine wins on grass this season. Most recently, he reached the semifinals at the ATP tournament in Halle. On the way there he also prevailed against today’s opponent. Kyrgios defeated Tsitspas in three sets and advanced to the quarterfinals (5: 7, 6: 2, 6: 4). Interesting: Only once in his career did Kyrgios win more on grass than this year. In 2014, the Australian had a total of twelve successes and, among other things, made it into the Wimbledon quarter-finals. A good omen for today?
