Wimbledon 2022 Day 7 was a perfect one for Novak Djokovic and a disappointing one for Alcaraz. Novak faced the in-form Dutch Tim van Rijthoven. This player a few months ago was not even playing top 100 players in the world and here he was up against the #1 seed in the tournament. This was already a massive improvement for the young Dutch. In his defense, he managed to give Djokovic a tough time by winning the second set after losing the first. But Novak finished off the game in four sets and is now through to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. The British star Cameron Norrie has still kept the fan’s hope alive as if wins his fourth-round encounter quite comfortably. He faced #30 American Paul and won the match quite comfortably in straight sets.
Norrie now has the entire expectations of the home crowd as the majority of the British players are out of the tournament. J. Sinner Vs Alcaraz was a mouthwatering clash. Having beaten Wawrinka and Isner in the previous rounds, Sinner was roaring with confidence. His opponent Alcaraz showed an amazing performance in the second and third rounds, gaining momentum on grass. The match looked tough, to begin with, with players matching each other shot by shot. However, Sinner got the upper hand and defeated Alcaraz in four sets. This was a big upset for many fans but the way Sinner is playing in the tournament, it cannot be called a fluke.
