The last-ever Manic Monday at Wimbledon produced a scintillating day of fourth-round action with men’s top seed Novak Djokovic and women’s number one Ash Barty both advancing to the quarter-finals along with a bunch of players who will be in the last eight at the grasscourt slam for the first time.
Djokovic cruised past Chile’s Cristian Garin to move to within three wins of a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title, although Roger Federer, the man he hopes to join, remains in the hunt for a ninth Wimbledon title after beating Lorenzo Sonego.
Canada will have two representatives in the men’s singles quarter-finals here for the first time after Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime both made it past the fourth round. Shapovalov outclassed Roberto Bautista Agut and Auger-Aliassime won a five-setter against Germany’s fourth seed Alexander Zverev.
Djokovic will face unseeded Marton Fucsovics after the Hungarian beat Russian Andrey Rublev to reach the quarter-final of a slam for the first time.
Federer must wait to discover his quarter-final opponent after Daniil Medvedev’s match with Hubert Hurkacz was interrupted by rain.
Barty beat French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets to reach the quarter-finals for the first time where she will face compatriot Ajla Tomljanovic who ended the dream run of British teenager Emma Raducanu. Wildcard Raducanu retired when trailing 6-4 3-0 after failing to return from a medical timeout.
Seventeen-year-old Coco Gauff’s hopes of a first Wimbledon quarter-final were dashed by 2018 champion Angelique Kerber who produced a vintage display to win 6-4 6-4.
Tunisian trailblazer Ons Jabeur became the first Arab woman to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a dazzling win over Iga Swiatek and will play second seed Aryna Sabalenka on Tuesday hoping to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final.
So-called Manic Monday is unique at Wimbledon with all the men’s and women’s last 16 singles matches on the schedule. Next year the traditional middle Sunday rest day will be scrapped and the schedule changed. Relive all the action from Wimbledon below.
