Novak Djokovic vs Andrey Rublev

Women’s Singles
Jessica Pegula vs Marketa Vondrousova
Unseeded Marketa Vondrousova reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon with a roller-coaster 6-4 2-6 6-4 win over American Jessica Pegula in the last eight on Tuesday.
The Czech came through a topsy-turvy encounter on Court One against the fourth seed to book a clash with Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina.
“It was very tough and just an amazing feeling … I never played here on court number one. It’s amazing. I just wanted to stay as long as I could and fought until the end and I’m just so happy. I cannot believe it, actually,” she said on court.
For Pegula, it was another quarter-final heartbreak, having never gone beyond the last eight at a Grand Slam.
Iga Swiatek vs Elina Svitolina
Even the world’s best players are not immune to crippling nerves as Iga Swiatek discovered when her Wimbledon dreams were turned to dust in a 7-5 6-7(5) 6-2 quarter-final defeat by Ukrainian wildcard Elina Svitolina on Tuesday.
Svitolina, who returned to the tour in April after giving birth to her daughter last October, might have been facing an opponent who was riding high on a 14-match winning streak but she never stopped believing even when she was on the receiving end of some brutal shots from the four-time Grand Slam champion.
After almost three hours of nerve-jangling drama, Svitolina gave her war-ravaged homeland something to cheer about when she pulled off the biggest upset of this year’s championships.
