Overview
- Jannik Sinner defeated qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 on Sunday to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
- Mochizuki came through qualifying, upset Rafael Jodar and is a 2019 Wimbledon junior champion, making him one of the surprise runs of the week.
- Earlier upsets that eliminated higher seeds including Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Jodar have eased Sinner’s projected path and left Struff or Hubert Hurkacz as his likely quarterfinal opponents.
- Two other Italians reached the last 16 as Flavio Cobolli produced a five-set comeback over Karen Khachanov and Jasmine Paolini beat Maria Sakkari while Matteo Berrettini and Lorenzo Sonego were knocked out.
- Novak Djokovic also advanced to the last eight and set a new Wimbledon match-win record, underscoring the experience remaining in the draw as the tournament moves into its second week.
