Wimbledon 2022 is underway with Rafael Nadal not missing a beat after a three-year absence from The Championships, and is joined by rival Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, No.1 seed Iga Swiatek saw her 37-fight win streak end with a third-round loss to Alizé Cornet.
Nadal, the No. 2 seed fresh from winning the French Open, advanced to the quarterfinals after a 6-1, 6-2, 7-6 victory over Lorenzo Sonego on Saturday. Two days earlier, Nadal earned his 307th Major win, surpassing Martina Navratilova for the fourth most of all time, by beating Ricardas Berankis 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
Djokovic had a more than solid week. On Sunday, the Serb posted a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Tim van Rijthoven, setting up a quarterfinal match against Jannik Skinner. That victory came after Djokovic defeated Miomir Kecmanovic 6-0, 6-3. 6-4 in the third round on Friday. On Monday, the World No. 3 became the only player to record at least 80 wins in all four Grand Slam events after defeating Soonwoon Kwon on Center Court.

Alcaraz, the 19-year-old Spanish star and No. 5 seed, became the youngest man to reach the fourth round since 2011 after defeating Oscar Otte 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 on Friday. However, his stellar career came to an end on Sunday when Skinner defeated him 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals.
On the women’s side, Swiatek’s loss to Cornet in straight sets (6-4, 6-2) was a surprise. The World No.1 had won 37 consecutive matches and the previous six tournaments she had participated in, including victories in Qatar, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome and the French Open at Roland Garros. Cornet’s victory put her into the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time since 2014. Also in the ladies’ third round, Amanda Anisimova knocked out Coco Gauff.
Serena Williams took to the court for the first time since Wimbledon’s 2021 handover on Tuesday. He had not played since last June, when he suffered a hamstring injury during his first-round match at the All England Club. Williams’ match against Harmony Tan was close, but Tan walked away as the winner 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) after three hours and 11 minutes on the court. Williams had to retire in the first round at the All England Club last year, his only first-round exit before this year, but this is the first time he has lost a first-round match at Wimbledon and only the second time. she has been defeated on the court in the first round of a Grand Slam (French Open 2012).
For the most part, the top seeds are doing well, but Julie Niemeier pulled off an upset against No.2 seed Anett Kontaveit, winning 6-4, 6-0 during Wednesday’s second round. Niemeier has shown that her performance was no fluke, as she advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Heather Watson on Sunday. On the men’s side, Ugo Humbert put up a competitive fight to defeat No. 3 seed Casper Ruud by a score of 3-6, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. More impressive still, he did it after forget to bring a racket.
Other Wimbledon starters include Marin Cilic, an underdog but definitely a strong dark horse, withdrawing from the competition aftertesting positive for COVID-19. No. 8 seed Matteo Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up, also withdrew due to a positive test result.
No player of Russian or Belarusian nationality can play in the tournament. Wimbledon made that decision in April after Russia invaded Ukraine. As a result of the ban, some of the sport’s top players will miss Wimbledon, including Men’s World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and Women’s World No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka.
