Djokovic conqueror Querrey reaches 1st Slam QF at Wimbledon

Querrey’s Wimbledon run has given a shot in the arm to American men’s tennis, which has weakened substantially since the days of Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Novak Djokovic is the four-time Grand Slam victor and he also holds the record of winning the 30 straight match.

He will face either Canada’s Milos Raonic or David Goffin of Belgium for a place in the semi-finals.

Radwanska, a finalist at the All England Club in 2012, has struggled at this year’s tournament.

Then she casually flung the racket, hurling it so far behind her that it landed in the lap of a TV cameraman filming her second-round match against 65th-ranked American Christina McHale.

She didn’t have to work very hard as she completely dominated the 43rd-ranked Beck, who has never been past the third round here.

The 18th-seeded Cibulkova reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals once before, in 2011. Roger Federer, striving at 34 to be the oldest man to win a Grand Slam title, had dropped words of dark foreboding when he hinted that Djokovic was not unbeatable.

It was Djokovic’s first defeat in 31 grand slam matches and his first since losing to Stan Wawrinka in last season’s French Open decider.

The sixth-seeded Canadian lost serve only once and downed the No. 28-seeded Querrey 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 on No. 1 Court.

Johnson was making his debut in the fourth round of a major.

Nishikori warmed up for Wimbledon by playing on grass in Halle, Germany, but he pulled out before his second match because of a rib injury.

Well, this match ahs been recorded in the history book and it is expected that this year’s Wimbledon may bring more records in the history book.

It was his first loss before the quarter-final of a grand slam tournament since 2009 when he also bowed out of a major in the third round at the French Open.

The controversial Nick Kyrgios stands in the way of a Murray berth in the quarter-final and the world number two was quick to point out that Djokovic’s elimination did not guarantee him the Wimbledon title. Vandeweghe, a 2015 quarterfinalist at the All England Club, had lost serve only twice in the first three rounds this year. Wednesday, he will look to advance to the semifinals by beating Raonic.

“Gives everybody confidence. You see Novak lose, you sense the locker room, like believe there is a chance”, the 26-year-old told reporters.

Andy Murray made it through to the last 16 with victory over Australia’s John Millman. If Kerber wins the Wimbledon title and Williams fails to reach the semifinals, she would take over the No. 1 ranking.

The forecast is for dry conditions, with temperatures reaching 21 degrees C (70 degrees F).

Second up on Centre Court will be No. 2 Andy Murray, the 2013 champion, facing No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
