In the men’s singles, which featured the top half quarterfinals yesterday, the highly anticipated match between top seed Jannik Sinner and No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev saw both players engage in two tiebreak sets and a five-set battle, with Medvedev ultimately prevailing 3-2 over the current world No. 1 Sinner, reaching the Wimbledon semifinals for the second consecutive year. Defending champion and No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz, after losing the first set, fought back to win three straight sets against No. 12 seed Sebastian Korda, advancing smoothly.
