On Saturday, Wimbledon is all about qualifying for the round of 16. Alexander Zverev and world number one Carlos Alcaraz are also in action. Defending champion Elena Rybakina has to play for the women.
The world number one Carlos Alcaraz moved into the round of 16 of the 136th All England Championships after a tough struggle. The Spaniard had a lot of trouble with Chile’s Nicolas Jarry, whom he was only able to defeat after 3:56 hours 6:3, 6:7 (6:8), 6:3, 7:5. He now meets Alexander Zverev or Matteo Berrettini (Italy).
Alcaraz already had their backs to the wall in the 70-minute hard-fought fourth set, but Jarry was unable to maintain his lead after a break. At 5:6, the number 25 seeded Chilean lost his serve for the second time and ended the match a little later with a backhand error.
Previously, Daniil Medvedev was the first player from the upper half of the tournament to reach the round of 16. The 27-year-old 2021 US Open winner defeated Martin Fucsovics of Hungary 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. His next opponent is the Czech Jiri Lehecka, who scored 6:2, 7:6 (7:2), 6:7 (5:7), 6:7 (9:11), 6:2 against the number 16 seed American Tommy Paul won.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is also further. One day after the end of his five-set marathon against the two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray (Great Britain), the Greek fifth in the world rankings prevailed much more easily 6: 4, 7: 6 (7: 5), 6: 4 against the Serb Laslo Gjere.
Wimbledon: Fix already eliminated in the junior tournament
The only German participant in the junior competition of the 136th All England Championships failed in the first round. 18-year-old David Fix from TC Wolfsberg Pforzheim lost to Frenchman Arthur Gea in his opening match 2:6, 3:6.
For Fix, currently number 56 in the junior world rankings, it was the third Grand Slam start. In the junior competition at the Australian Open, he also failed in the first round at the beginning of the year, and at the French Open he had reached the round of 16.
