Wimbledon Stories: Day 6 | Championships 2024

Hello everyone 🎾 🏆,

The Championships 2024 kicked off to a fine start! During the tournament, I will provide a daily recap of the championships till 14th July 2024 (had to take a much needed commercial break yesterday), highlighting my favorite aspects of the best tennis Grand Slam ever!

Let’s begin!

Wimbledon 2024 Day 6

Day 6 of the Championships 2024 MOST CERTAINLY did not disappoint. Norrie, Jabeur, Shapovalov and Swiatek have been knocked out of the tournament - really, really gutted for my African sister. On the other hand, Rybakina is the only previous Grand Slam winner left in the women's last 16 while Shelton and Sinner compete today for a place in the next round. Truly exciting stuff! Here's a look at the top stories, players, and their performances.

Dominant Djokovic

Novak Djokovic faced a tough battle against Alexei Popyrin. Djokovic had to dig deep to secure his victory, showcasing his resilience and experience on the grass courts. Here's a highlight reel of the match.

Sore Swiatek

The women's world #1 was stunned by Yulia Putintseva. Putintseva played aggressively, capitalizing on Swiatek’s uncharacteristic errors, and delivered a stunning performance to advance to the fourth round. Here's a highlight reel of the match.

No Murracanu on Centre Court

British fans were eagerly anticipating Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray mixed doubles match on Day 6 of Wimbledon 's #TheChampionships2024. However, it was a fairytale that was not to be as Emma withdrew from the mixed doubles, citing a stiffness in her wrist. Raducanu, who has battled wrist issues in the past and subsequently had surgery in 2023 on both wrists, expressed her disappointment in withdrawing but promised to give her very best to the women's singles event.

Zealous Zverev

Alexander Zverev defeated Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(15) in the third round in London on Saturday. Zverev's next opponent will be either Taylor Fritz or Alejandro Tabilo in the fourth round. The match lasted for 2 hours and 30 minutes, equaling Zverev's best performance in this tournament. Here's a highlight reel of the match.

Rampant Rybakina

The former Wimbledon champion is in great form, being the only former winner in the women's last 16. The #4 seed defeated former Grand Slam champion Caroline Wozniacki 6-0, 6-1 on Saturday in just over 57 minutes. Rybakina's performance was so cold, clean and complete that she finished with 36 winners, 32 more than Wozniacki. Here's a highlight reel of their match.

Wimbledon Honors Sports Professionals

In fine Wimbledon fashion on middle Saturday - a tradition I always enjoy watching -, the All England Club honored a number of sports superstars, legends and greats. The likes of Pep Guardiola and Leah Williamson were celebrated in the Royal Box, in front of an excited Wimbledon crowd. Watch it here.

The Last 16

This is what to expect in the last 16 for both the men's and women's singles event.

Who have you got to win the year's Championships. My heart is still with Carlos to go all the way and do a back-to-back Championship win. Now that Ons is out, my full focus is on Emma Raducanu - did I mention I'm a huge fan? Regardless of who wins what, we are sure to expect more upsets and exciting matches. Enjoy middle Sunday!

The tournament is set to become even more intense as it progresses. With a number of top players still in contention and new talents going deep into the competition, Wimbledon 2024 promises to deliver more thrilling tennis action. Stay tuned for more update and analyses as we continue to cover all the excitement from the All England Club.
