Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal survived a late fightback to move into the quarter-finals at Wimbledon following a straight sets win over Botic van de Zandschulp.

Wimbledon "Until the end when I played a bad game at 5-2 when it had been a very positive match. Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal, Nick Kyrgios, Taylor Fitz and Cristian Garin advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals with victories Monday.

The Australian then held two match points at 5-4 in the fifth. The unseeded Chilean trailed 5-3 in the first-to-10 fifth-set tiebreaker before winning six straight points to take a 9-5 lead. Kyrgios also needed five sets to get past Paul Jubb in the first round. That was the end of the Dutchman's resistance, though, as Nadal converted his fourth match point for a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6) win on Centre Court. The Spaniard is playing his first grass-court tournament since 2019, when he lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals. I was bouncing the ball before I served; I really just smiled to myself,'' said Kyrgios, owner of a tour-high 11 victories on grass this season. Kyrgios overcame an ailing shoulder and a fourth-set slump to beat 20-year-old American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-2.

Spaniard eased to a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6) victory and set up a quarter-final clash with his conquerer at Indian Wells in March, Taylor Fritz.

Taylor Fritz, the 11th seed, is yet to drop a set in this tournament, reaching his first career grand slam quarter-final by defeating Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. But Nadal and Djokovic are still here, rolling through the draw, determined to write another page in the sport’s history books. None of those improvements served him particularly well in the face of the pressure and intensity from Nadal early on. On Monday, Nadal was extremely efficient against a challenging opponent until nerves struck as he served for the match, but he pulled himself together to seal the win. “I think, till the end, until I played a bad game at 5-3, it has been a very positive match against a difficult opponent. He reached the quarter‑finals with his 18th grand slam match win in a row after a high‑class performance, outplaying Botic van de Zandschulp, the 21st seed, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6).

American Taylor Fritz is playing the best tennis of his life, will it be enough to upset Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon Quarterfinals?

For Kyrgios, this seems like a prime opportunity after taking out Stefanos Tsitsipas though he did struggle physically against Brandon Nakashima. The two days’ rest will do both players a world of good and though Garin will certainly look to make the match a grind, I just cannot see Kyrgios letting this opportunity slip away. However, it does still feel that beating Nadal in a Grand Slam quarterfinal, particularly because it is his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, might be a bridge too far for the American. Nadal in 5 Kyrgios had to dig deep to win his last two matches and it is encouraging to see that he was able to do that, even if his behaviour during both was not. I can’t see any way Kyrgios loses this match with this big a chip on his shoulder. Taylor Fritz doesn’t present much of a match-up issue unless he is serving out of his mind.
