Men’s Singles

Carlos Alcaraz [3] vs. Cameron Norrie

The defending champion and fan-favorite will clash in what promises to be a firecracker encounter on Centre Court. Alcaraz, eyeing his third consecutive Wimbledon crown, has looked sharp throughout. But he’ll face a serious test in Britain’s Cameron Norrie– the lone unseeded player left in either singles draw and the last Brit standing. With the crowd behind him and no pressure to carry, Norrie hopes to replicate or even better his 2022 semi-final run.

Taylor Fritz [13] vs. Karen Khachanov [15]

Fritz and Khachanov have quietly carved strong paths to the quarters and now find themselves within touching distance of a career-best result at Wimbledon. The American has been in a remarkable form with booming serve and will face Russia’s Khachanov’s in a battle that promises power, precision, and grit.

Novak Djokovic [2] vs. Flavio Cobolli

Djokovic, who is into his 16th career Wimbledon quarter-final, overcame a sluggish start against Alex de Minaur to book his spot. His opponent, 23-year-old Flavio Cobolli of Italy, is enjoying a dream debut in a Slam. While the seven-time champion is the heavy favorite, Cobolli has nothing to lose and is expected to give it all.

Jannik Sinner [1] vs. Ben Shelton [10]

Top seed Sinner was handed a reprieve in the last round when Grigor Dimitrov, who was leading in sets, was forced to retire mid-match. The Italian will  now face the electric Ben Shelton of United States, whose raw power and swagger have carried him to his first Wimbledon quarter-final. It will be interesting to watch how the a calm Sinner encounters an animated Shelton.

Belinda Bencic [14] vs. Mirra Andreeva [22]

In one of the most heartwarming narratives of the tournament, Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic has reached her first Wimbledon quarter-final just months after returning from maternity leave. The Swiss meets 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva of Russia, a rising star who’s proving she belongs among the elite. A win here would mean a maiden Slam semi-final for either player—and a giant leap forward in their respective comebacks and careers.

Aryna Sabalenka [1] vs. Laura Siegemund

World No. 1 Sabalenka remains on course for her first Wimbledon glory, though her path now crosses with Laura Siegemund—the lowest-ranked woman left in the draw. The German veteran has defied odds and expectations and will aim to add another upset to her magical run.

Iga Swiatek [2] vs. Liudmila Samsonova [19]

Swiatek, a five-time major winner, has always been dominant on clay and hard courts. Now, the Pole seems increasingly comfortable on the Wimbledon grass, seeking her first semi-final at SW19. Russia’s Samsonova, a powerful and composed opponent, stands in her way in what could be one of the most tactical matchups of the round.

Amanda Anisimova [12] vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

Two former quarter-finalists meet again, both hungry to break through to their first Wimbledon semi-final. Anisimova, the last American woman in the draw, will rely on her aggressive baseline game, while Russian Pavlyuchenkova’s experience could prove crucial under pressure.
