Federer despite losing a set in the Wimbledon round of 16

The 39-year-old beat Britain's Cameron Norrie 6:4, 6:4, 5:7, 6:4 in London on Saturday and moved into the round of 23. Federer will meet number XNUMX seed Italian Lorenzo Sonego there on Monday.

Secret favorite Matteo Berrettini also safely reached the round of 6 with a smooth 4:6, 4:6, 4:7 over the Slovenian Aljaz Bedene. The number 16 seeded Italian, who had warmed up splendidly for the third tennis major tournament with the title at the Queen's Club, is now in the round of XNUMX in London for the second time. Next to him is a compatriot, Sonego, in this Circle that clearly defeated James Duckworth. Gauff effortlessly For the women, former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber and Coco Gauff provided the hoped-for generational hit in the round of 33. The 2-year-old German defeated Alexandra Sasnovich from Belarus 6:6, 0:6, 1:16 and is now in the last 17 of Wimbledon for the first time since winning the title three years ago. And the 6-year-old American Gauff once again demonstrated her potential for great things. After the 3:6, 3:2019 over the Slovenian Kaja Juvan, she is in the second week of Wimbledon for the second time since XNUMX. She will now face Kerber on Manic Monday, on which all round of XNUMX matches will be played due to the traditional rest day on the first Sunday of the tournament.

Emma Raducanu, who was just 18 years old, caused a sensation. As number 338 in the world, the Brit is in the round of 6 after a 3:7, 5:XNUMX over Sorana Cirstea on her Grand Slam debut. Born in Canada to a Chinese mother and a Romanian father, she represents multicultural London. She now faces Ajla Tomljanovic from Australia. Krejcikova breathes a sigh of relief The French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic also qualified for the round of 25 with a narrow success. The 7-year-old surprise winner from Paris defeated Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova 6:3, 6:7, 5:XNUMX in London on Saturday. The next opponent is either the world number one Ashleigh Barty from Australia or Krejcikova's doubles partner Katerina Siniakova, with whom she recently won the French Open and thus achieved the double after her success in the singles.

Before the round of 16 in Wimbledon there is a day without play on Sunday. However, the organizers will break with this tradition, which is unique in Grand Slam tournaments, next year and will then also play on the middle Sunday. So far, this has only happened when the schedule was too late due to bad weather. This time, all round of 16 matches of this year's tournament will take place entirely on Monday, as usual.
