Wimbledon 2023 Sets For Quarter Final Showdown

The Wimbledon quarter-finals begin today as Novak Djokovic continues his bid for an eighth title while Iga Swiatek faces Elina Svitolina

Djokovic is in action f.or the third day in a row after his fourth-round match against Hubert Hurkacz was suspended due to the Wimbledon curfew on Sunday night. The 36-year-old, who questioned Wimbledon’s scheduling after eventually beating Hurkacz on Monday, plays seventh seed Andrey Rublev as he looks for his 33rd consecutive win at the Championships.

World No 1, Swiatek features in the earlier match on Centre Court, but the home crowd are likely to support the Ukrainian wildcard Svitolina after her stunning victory over Victoria Azarenka. Although the three-set thriller was overshadowed by Azarenka being booed off the court, Svitolina is enjoying an inspired run at the All England Club but faces a tough test in Swiatek.

Last night, Carlos Alcaraz battled past former runner-up Matteo Berrettini, setting up a match with Holger Rune. Defending champion Elena Rybakina will face Ons Jabeur in the women’s quarter-finals in a rematch of last year’s final, after the Tunisian beat Petra Kvitova in straight sets.
