T WO gaping holes were blasted into the women’s draw at Wimbledon on Saturday as defending champion Iga Swiatek was outplayed by Filipino crowd-pleaser Alexandra Eala and second seed Elena Rybakina was sent packing by Belgian Elise Mertens. Disgruntled Polish third seed Swiatek lost a titanic first-set battle that lasted almost 90 minutes and had no answer to a fearless Eala after that as she lost 7-6(9), 6-2. Rybakina, the 2022 champion who doubled her Grand Slam tally this year by winning the Australian Open, also fell away badly after a close first set, going down 7-6(4), 6-1 to Mertens who has reached the last 16 for the fourth time. “Definitely I need to analyse and change some thing because it’s not working,” said Rybakina, for whom a run to the quarterfinals here could have seen her become world No. 1. There was American disappointment on the day of the nation’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as Serena Williams, one of its greatest ever athletes, withdrew from her eagerly awaited doubles with sister Venus because of injury. In an Instagram post Williams, who returned to the tournament after a four-year absence but lost to Maya Joint in the singles, said she was “heartbroken to have to withdraw”. But there were July 4 fireworks on Centre Court as 26th seed Madison Keys upset last year’s runner-up Amanda Anisimova, seeded six, 3-6 6-2 6-3 in an all-American blockbuster. Americans take centre stage Keys, on a roll on the grass after her title run in Eastbourne last week, was one of eight American singles players in action on the nation’s big day. There was further US success as qualifier Ashlyn Krueger enjoyed a comprehensive 6-3, 6-2 victory over Ukraine’s Daria Snigur but 23rd seed Emma Navarro went out to Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in three sets. The shocks did not continue to the men’s draw though where second seed and newly-crowned French Open champion Alexander Zverev main tained his impressive start with a 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4 vic tory over American Marcos Giron. Frances Tiafoe, the 17th seed, fell 4-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(11), 4-6, 6-3 to Kazakh 10th seed Alexander Bublik.

12 months later the 35-year-old wildcard worked his way back into the second week by beating 2021 finalist Berrettini. “I think after last year, the way I exited, I would have never known what would have hap pened, but guess what? This year, I’m back here and I’m able to rewrite everything again,” Dimitrov said on court. “I’m just looking forward to coming back and competing again,” Dimitrov added. “It’s won derful to be in the second week, and yeah, let’s keep the good times rolling.” Eala sets up Paolini clash Eala, seeded 29, the first player from the Philippines to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam, has a message in Tagalog etched on her cap which translates as “once it grows, it cannot be stopped”. That motto will be tested by 13th seed Jasmine Paolini after the 2024 runner-up thrashed Greece’s Maria Sakkari 6-1, 6-2. “For someone who grew up in the Philippines … I went to training with my brother and my grandfather every day after school with my ruffled socks and my light-up shoes and chubby cheeks, so … to her, this is everything,” Eala told an enchanted Centre Court crowd. “But because I’m emotional does not mean I’m satisfied, so yeah, okay, next round. Let’s go.” While Eala’s joy was uncontained, six-times Grand Slam champion Swiatek slumped off, try ing to digest another disappointing loss. “Honestly, I don’t care anymore about the results. I’ve been so focused on them that it’s hard to continue like that,” she told reporters later. “So I’m really trying to let it go.” The biggest roars around the grounds on Saturday were reserved for British battler Arthur Fery who kept the home flag flying with a thrill ing comeback victory against Belgium’s Zizou Bergs on a raucous Court 18 despite three nose bleeds. Fery trailed by two sets to one and a dou ble break at 1-4 but refused to roll over and came back to win the longest match of the tournament in a deciding-set tiebreaker. Reuters

French Open runner-up Flavio Cobolli, seeded nine, lost the opening set 6-0 against Russia’s Karen Khachanov but rallied to win in five 0-6, 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-2. Cobolli will face Australian Alex de Minaur next (6pm Malaysian time) after he beat American Zachary Svajda 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. Lorenzo Sonego could not join the Italian surge though despite a strong start against American sixth seed Taylor Fritz, losing 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(5). Zverev just getting started Men’s second seed Alexander Zverev reached the last 16 at Wimbledon for the fourth time on Saturday as belief grows that this time the German is ready to make his mark on grass. Zverev, still on cloud nine after claiming his long-awaited maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open, breezed past Marcos Giron 6-2, 7 6(4), 6-4 on Court One. The 29-year-old has never gone past the fourth round at the All England Club and admits that grass remains his weakest surface, although he has made confi dent noises this week. “I think what helps me the most right now is that I’m playing better. It’s as simple as that sometimes,” Zverev, who is bidding to become the first male player to win a second Grand Slam title immediately after landing the first, told reporters. Things could get tougher in the next round though for Zverev as he will be up against powerful Czech 13th seed Jiri Lehecka (6pm Malaysian time). A year after Wimbledon heartache A year after a devastating injury ended his Wimbledon campaign, Grigor Dimitrov returned to the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3 victory over Matteo Berrettini on Saturday for a chance to rewrite the chapter where his dream unravelled. Dimitrov suffered a pectoral tear while lead ing eventual champion Jannik Sinner by two sets-to-love in the last 16 and retired in tears but
