World No. 1 Sinner, Eliminated in Wimbledon Tennis Quarterfinals, Loses to Medvedev
Jannik Sinner (Italy), ranked No. 1 in the men's professional tennis (ATP) singles, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships (total prize money of 50 million pounds, approximately 87.5 billion won).
On the 9th day of the tournament held at the All England Club in London, England, Sinner lost 2-3 (7-6<9-7> 4-6 6-7<4-7> 6-2 3-6) to Daniil Medvedev (No. 5, Russia) in the men's singles quarterfinals.
Sinner, who won the Australian Open this year, finished the tournament in the quarterfinals and quarterfinals of the French Open and Wimbledon, which were the major tournaments that followed.
However, Sinner can maintain her world No. 1 ranking regardless of the results of this tournament. 안전놀이터 메이저사이트
Sinner suffered from poor condition, such as calling a medical timeout during the third set and leaving the court for a while before returning.
He also said in his post-match interview, "I wasn't in good physical condition," and "It wasn't easy, but I tried to play until the end."
Sinner won five straight matches recently, including a 3-2 (3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3) comeback win over Medvedev in the Australian Open final this year, but lost 2-3 on this day.
Medvedev has a 7-5 lead in their head-to-head record.
This is the first time in six years since 2018 that the world number one in both the men's and women's singles failed to advance to the semifinals at Wimbledon.
World number one in the women's singles, Iga Swioatek (Poland), was eliminated in the third round of Wimbledon this year.
Medvedev's semifinal opponent is last year's Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz (3rd, Spain).
Alcaras cruised to his second consecutive title by defeating Tommy Paul (No. 13, USA) 3-1 (5-7 6-4 6-2 6-2).
Alcaras and Medvedev have a 4-2 record, with Alcaras having the upper hand.
The two met in the Wimbledon semifinals last year, with Alcaras winning 3-0 (6-3 6-3 6-3).
In the women's singles, Jasmine Paolini (7th, Italy), the runner-up at this year's French Open, advanced to the semifinals.
Paolini defeated Emma Navarro (17th, USA) 2-0 (6-2 6-1).
Paolini, who is relatively small at 163 cm, had only reached the second round of a major tournament singles match last year, but she is on a fast-track this year, reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open, the runner-up at the French Open, and the semifinals at Wimbledon.
She has also secured 5th place in the world rankings.
Paolini will face Donna Vekic (37th, Croatia) in the semifinals.
This year, Paolini is the first Italian player to reach the semifinals of the Wimbledon women's singles.
Camilla Giorgi in 2018 and Francesca Schiavone in 2009 have advanced to the quarterfinals.
