Jannik Sinner edged into the Wimbledon quarter-finals today after Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire injured while leading 6‑3, 7‑5, 2‑2. Dimitrov appeared in control until a painful pectoral injury halted play. Sinner, visibly shaken, called it “very unfortunate” and doesn’t view it as a true win. He now faces American 10th seed Ben Shelton, who booked his spot with a four‑set comeback victory over Lorenzo Sonego.
Taylor Fritz will take on 17th seed Karen Khachanov today in what promises to be a test of nerve and power. Fritz, who made the round of 16 after Jordan Thompson retired, hopes to build on his strong grass‑court form. In another highlight match, Britain’s Cameron Norrie faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court The British wildcard nearly upset Alcaraz here last year, making this clash one to watch.
Looking ahead, Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli await in their respective quarter-finals, but none of today’s matches involve Djokovic as he secured his spot earlier with a four-set win over Alex de Minaur. The field now stands evenly poised between seasoned champions and rising contenders as Wimbledon moves into its final phases.
