Djokovic made it to the pre-quarterfinals, Swiatek became a victim of upset


London. Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia continues to dominate the third Grand Slam of the year, Wimbledon. This great player has taken a step towards another trophy. After losing the first set against Alexei Popyrin on Saturday, he made a comeback and won in four sets to reach the pre-quarterfinals of Wimbledon's men's singles. In the women's singles, world number one player Iga Swiatek had to face defeat.

Former world number one Djokovic of Serbia defeated Popyrin 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 and showed him the way out. This player, who made a comeback after losing, once again showed a brilliant game and turned the match around after a slow start. On the other hand, despite winning the first set, Swiatek was defeated by unseeded Yulia Putintseva 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the third round match at the All England Club. With this, Swiatek's campaign of winning 21 consecutive matches also came to an end.

Five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek does not like the grass court of Wimbledon very much. Even in 2022, Alize Cornet defeated her in the third round and ended her 37-match winning streak. Putintseva will face 2017 French Open champion and 13th seed Jelena Ostapenko in the next round. In women's singles, 21st seed Elena Svitolina defeated number 10 Ons Jabeur 6-1, 7-6.

In men's singles, fourth seed Alexander Zverev defeated Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 in straight sets. 14th seed Ben Shelton of America made it to the pre-quarterfinals by defeating Denis Shapovalov 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 in a match postponed on Friday. He will face world number one player Yannick Sinner on Sunday.
