Wimbledon 2023: Djokovic, Alcaraz, Swiatek soar into quarter-finals - preview, how to watch
The final eight will begin from Tuesday (11 July), with top contenders still in the hunt. Reigning women's winner Elena Rybakina has a re-match of last year's final against Ons Jabeur.
Tennis
After a stormy Week 1 at Wimbledon, the skies have cleared for the business end of the famed tennis tournament.
The gentlemen's and ladies' singles - as they're known at The Championships - have reached the final eight, led by Novak Djokovic, who completed in his 100th Wimbledon match on Monday (10 July).
Djokovic won that match in four sets over two days, giving the Serbian a 32nd consecutive win at SW19 having swept the last four titles (2018, 2019, 2021 & 2022). He'll meet No.7 seed Andrey Rublev for a spot in the final four.
He's on a collision course with top seed Carlos Alcaraz for a meeting in the final, the world No.1 having denied 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini in the fourth round over four sets.
Djokovic, 36, is in the hunt for a 24th major title after winning Roland-Garros last month. While he leads the men's major count, he's tied with Serena Williams at 23 Grand Slams in the Open Era (since 1968), a record. A 24th would give him the all-out lead in modern times and also tie the all-time record.
Iga Swiatek, Djokovic's fellow champion in Paris last month, advanced to her first-ever Wimbledon quarter-final by saving two match points in her fourth-round encounter with Belinda Bencic, the Olympic gold medallist, booking a date with the inspiring story of the event in Elina Svitolina, the Ukrainian who gave birth to her first child last October.
The 2022 women's final is set for a re-match, too, with champion Elena Rybakina in fierce form, much like runner-up Ons Jabeur, who took out two-time winner Petra Kvitova on Monday by losing just three games.
