Alrighty, we’re just biding time before we crown Mr. Djokovic with another title. Thanks for coming Mr. Garin. Pick: Duh, Djokovic.
Fucsovics (be careful how you pronounce his name) is a beast. Will he make his first QF? His younger opponent Rublev is seeking his fourth QF in his last five majors. Rublev has beaten Fucsovics in their last five meetings. Pick: Rublev
Khachanov has reached the third round twice and now the fourth round twice at Wimbledon. Always seems on the verve of taking the next step. And he’s playing… hey! An American! Only 20 years old and is in his first Wimbledon, defeating two seeds (DeMinaur and Evans) to get here. Pick: Khachanov
Shapovalov, always seems on the verge of something great. After a tough first round match with the veteran Kohlschreiber, got a walkover in the second round and dismissed crowd favorite Andy Murray in the third. The Spaniard Bautista Agut has shown great talent on all surfaces, reaching the semis at the most recent Wimbledon. This is their first matchup. Shapovalov may be a little fresher. Pick: Shapovalov.
If you were to build a top notch tennis player from scratch, you’d have Matteo Berrettini. He’s at the point of his career you’d expect him in the second week, perhaps one of the biggest threats to Djokovic in years to come. Ilya Ivashka, um, first ever Wimbledon and done very little in other majors, but here he is. Pick: Ajla Tomljanovic’s boyfriend (Berrettini)
Auger-Aliassime: Another seeded Canadian not named Milos Raonic doing very well. “Sasha” Zverev is a fairly constant second-week player these days and comes oh-so-close. Zverev is 3-0 without losing a set to Auger-Aliassime. Felix may be close to breaking that. Pick: Zverev
Federer. The legend. The nine-time Wimbledon champ. But came into this year’s tournament with many questions. Sonego has a sparse grand slam career and hasn’t won at Wimbledon until this year. Pick: C’mon man, one more for the Fed before he has to face Daniil.
Hurkacz. Can’t say I know much about Double-Hu. By far making his deepest Grand Slam run. Has won in straight sets in his first three matches. Medvedev. Seems like he should easily advance, but almost lost in straights to Cilic before coming back. Pick: Medvedev
