On Monday, July 10, the fourth round fights ended in the most famous grass tournament in the world. There were nine individual matches, five for men and four for women. Three Russians also took part in them. But not all made it further down the grid. Let’s talk about everything in order.
Results of the eighth day. July 10, Monday
The men played the fourth-round matches in the top half of the grid, and among the participants was Russia’s Daniil Medvedev (3rd seed), who began methodically beating Czech Jiri Legechka. However, after two sets, the opponent withdrew through injury. And Daniel for the first time in his career reached the 1/4 final of Wimbledon. Thus, the Russian has now been in the top eight at all four Slams during his career.
