All the action of the Day 9 of Wimbledon is underway with the singles quarter final. Defending champion Novak Djokovic ended the amazing run of Tim van Rijthoven in the fourth round as the ATP No. 1 looks to seal a victory in the men’s title for the fourth time in succession.
The Serbian will now open on Centre Court this afternoon against the Italian No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner, who defeated Spanish breakthrough star Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round. The first women’s quarter final sees No. 2 seed Ons Jabeur take on Marie Bouzkova. Jabeur is the favourite to win.
Bouzkova ranked at 66 in the world, is a somewhat surprising name in the latter stages of the draw but produced an emphatic upset against Caroline Garcia in the fourth round.
It is far less of a shock than the second women’s quarter final being played today, which is an all German clash between Tatjana Maria and Jule Niemeier.
At the moment, Maria and Niemeier, are squaring off in the quarter final and Maria is in a much more commanding position by winning the current set and leading by 78 points as compared to 74 of Niemeier.
