Original title: Wimbledon comprehensive: Djokovic reverses women’s singles number one defeat
Men’s singles defending champion Djokovic defeated No. 7 seed Rublev 3:1 following losing a set first on the 11th, reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals for the 12th time. Women’s singles top seed Svyatke lost to wild card Svitolina in three sets and stopped in the quarter-finals.
Since the quarter-finals took two days to finish, Djokovic played for the third consecutive day. Djokovic lost the first set 4:6 in the face of the Russian player Rublev who broke into the quarter-finals of the grass field Grand Slam for the first time, but then won three consecutive cities 6:1, 6:4 and 6:3 , advanced to the Grand Slam men’s singles semi-finals for the 46th time, tying the record of “Swiss King” Federer.
Djokovic, 36, says he doesn’t like to think too much regarding numbers. “The game is still going on and I’m still in it. I just want to think regarding the present and focus on the next game.”
The Serbian superstar, who is heading towards the eighth Wimbledon crown and the 24th Grand Slam crown, will next face the rising Italian star Sinner. The 21-year-old Sinner faced Djokovic in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon last year and was reversed following winning two sets first.
In women’s singles, the world’s No. 1 Svyatke, who had just refreshed her personal best Wimbledon score, failed to go further, losing to Ukrainian player Svitolina 5:7, 7:6 (5) and 2:6.
The 22-year-old Svyatke made frequent mistakes throughout the game. Svitolina, who welcomed her first child last year and only came back in April this year, was tough to the end, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon once more following 2019.
Svitolina will compete with Vandrosova for a ticket to the final. The 24-year-old Czech girl defeated No. 4 seed Pegula of the United States in three sets. (Zhang Wei Xiao Yazhuo)
