Djokovic said in an on-court interview: "Credit to Hurkacz for playing a great match, he was a tough opponent today...

Top seed Carlos Alcaraz overcame a tough match against Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to reach his first Wimbledon quarter-final.

Berrettini played aggressively from the first minutes and won the first set after breaking in the 8th game. However, Alcaraz quickly grasped the tempo of the match.

In the next 3 sets, the Spanish player played well when successfully defending all service games, and also won 4 breaks, thereby winning 3-1.

"I knew it was going to be really tough... Berrettini is a great player. He reached the final at Wimbledon, so I knew he was playing well. Of course, it wasn't easy after losing the first set," Alcaraz said in an on-court interview.

I knew I would have a chance, I just had to stay focused and that's what I had to do, not lose focus. I did really well the rest of the game, so I'm really happy to come back and play a great game."

Alcaraz will next face sixth seed Holger Rune. The young Danish star overcame 2017 Nitto ATP Finals champion Grigor Dimitrov in four sets (3-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-3).

Third seed Daniil Medvedev won 6-4, 6-2 against Jiri Lehecka, the Czech player could not complete the match due to injury so the match stopped after two sets.
