Djokovic 2 sets down, rallies for 26th straight at Wimbledon
It says a lot about Novak Djokovic that a two-sets-to-none hole at Wimbledon on a day he was hardly at his best never seemed insurmountable.
A lot about his history of overcoming that sort of deficit. A lot about his ability to adjust, adapt and to right himself quickly. A lot about his preeminence at the All England Club in recent years. A lot about what might happen if — or, rather, when — he got back into the match and it eventually went to a fifth set.
Djokovic spotted 10th-seeded Jannik Sinner of Italy the huge lead Tuesday, then worked his way back to win 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 at Centre Court, earning an 11th semifinal berth at Wimbledon with his 26th consecutive victory at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
“I always believed,” Djokovic said, “that I could turn the match around.”
Among men, only Roger Federer has made more semifinal appearances at Wimbledon with 13 and more championships (eight) than the seven Djokovic could reach by lifting the trophy Sunday for what would be a fourth year in a row.
Djokovic managed his seventh career comeback in a match in which he trailed by two sets — he last did it in the 2021 French Open final against Stefanos Tsitsipas — and improved to 37-10 in five-setters. That includes a 10-1 mark in matches that go the distance at Wimbledon, including nine straight victories; the lone loss came in 2006.

In the semifinals Friday, the top-seeded 35-year-old Serbian will meet either No. 9 Cameron Norrie of Britain or unseeded David Goffin of Belgium. The men’s quarterfinals Wednesday: No. 2 Rafael Nadal of Spain vs. No. 11 Taylor Fritz of the U.S., and Nick Kyrgios of Australia vs. Cristian Garin of Cile.
The first player into the women’s semifinals was 103rd-ranked Tatjana Maria, who defeated Jule Niemeier 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 in an all-German matchup. Maria is 34, making her only the sixth woman at least that old to get this far at Wimbledon in the professional era, which began in 1968.
The others? It’s quite a list: Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Serena Williams and Venus Williams.
This is Maria’s 35th Grand Slam tournament; only once had she made it as far as the third round.
She’ll take on No. 3 Ons Jabeur of Tunisia or Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic for a spot in Saturday’s final. The other women’s quarterfinals: 2019 champion Simona Halep of Romania vs. No. 20 Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., and No. 17 Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan vs. Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia.
Of the women’s quarterfinalists, only Halep owns a major title (she has two).
That sort of edge in experience certainly aided Djokovic, who is seeking his 21st Grand Slam trophy. Tuesday’s match brought Sinner’s major quarterfinal appearance total to three, which is exactly — checks notes — 50 fewer than Djokovic’s.
Djokovic is 14-plus years older than Sinner, 20, which made for the third-largest age gap in a Wimbledon men’s quarterfinal.
Sinner has shown enormous potential, reaching the quarterfinals at the 2020 French Open before losing to Nadal and the 2022 Australian Open before losing to Tsitsipas.
Wimbledon wild-card entry steals set, not win, from Djokovic
Even knowing what an unusual Wimbledon this has been, what with so many unexpected results and new faces popping up, and so few top seeds — and major champions — remaining, surely Novak Djokovic would not lose to a wild-card entry making his Grand Slam debut, would he?
If it did not quite seem plausible, it did at least become vaguely possible a tad past 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night under the closed roof at Centre Court, when 25-year-old Dutchman Tim van Rijthoven — ranking: 104th; lifetime tour-level victories: eight, all in the past month — had the temerity to smack a 133 mph ace past Djokovic and tie their fourth-round match at a set apiece.
All of nine minutes later, the time it took Djokovic to grab 12 of the next 15 points, and the next three games, both plausibility and possibility took a hike. Soon enough, the third set was his, and not much later, so was the fourth, and the match, a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 result that gave the tournament's No. 1 seed a 25th consecutive grass-court victory at the All England Club and a place in his 13th Wimbledon quarterfinal.
Read: Djokovic playing his ‘best’ tennis ahead of French Open
“Novak did his Novak thing,” van Rijthoven said, “and played very, very well. He had all the answers.”
Beforehand, van Rijthoven had said: “I’ll go into that match thinking I can win.” Might have still had that sense Sunday evening. If only briefly.
Eventually, the only true question was whether Djokovic would wrap this one up in time, because there is an 11 p.m. curfew. Running up against that would have required them to resume Monday.
“Whew. I am lucky,” Djokovic said after closing the deal with 20 minutes to spare. “It's never really pleasant if you can't finish the match in the same day. Glad I did.”
They did not begin playing until 8 p.m., in part due to a delay of roughly an hour at the start of this special afternoon — the first time in history the tournament's middle Sunday held scheduled play — while a ceremony was held to honor the 100 years of Centre Court.
Djokovic, who questioned after his victory why matches generally begin so late in the main stadium, was among the many past champions who took part, joking to the crowd when it was his turn to speak, “Gosh, I feel more nervous than when I’m playing.”
If he was, indeed, jittery at all at a set apiece many hours later against van Rijthoven, it certainly did not show. Didn't matter that van Rijthoven kept cranking out huge serves, to the tune of 20 aces, including a pair on second serves. Didn't matter just how big the cuts were that van Rijthoven took with his forehands. Didn't matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close. Didn't matter that Djokovic stumbled behind what he called a "slippery" baseline twice, landing first on his backside, later on his left knee and stomach.
“He was on a streak on this surface, and I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy. With that serve and a lot of talent, great touch, powerful forehand, he can do a lot of damage,” Djokovic said. “It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace.”
Djokovic, a 35-year-old from Serbia, calibrated his best-in-the-game returns, got his groundstrokes in fine form — finishing with just 19 unforced errors, compared to 29 winners — and was in complete control, a step closer to all manner of important numbers. His pursuit of a fourth consecutive, and seventh overall, title at Wimbledon, not to mention a 21st major championship, will continue Tuesday against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy.
Sinner reached his first quarterfinal at the All England Club by eliminating No. 5 Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 earlier.

The other quarterfinal on their half of the bracket will be No. 9 Cam Norrie of Britain against unseeded David Goffin of Belgium. They each advanced by beating Americans: Norrie beat No. 30 Tommy Paul 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to get to his first major quarterfinal, and Goffin edged No. 23 Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (3), 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 over more than 4 1/2 hours.
The rest of the fourth round is Monday, and the only men left in the field who ever have participated in a Grand Slam final are Djokovic and 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal. They are also the only men still around ranked in the top 10.
It's a similarly unfamiliar collection of players chasing the women's championship, with just one who has appeared in a Grand Slam final (two-time major title winner Simona Halep, who plays Monday) and just two who were among the top 15 seeds at Wimbledon (No. 3 Ons Jabeur and No. 4 Paula Badosa, who plays Monday).
Jabeur made it to the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the second year in a row with a 7-6 (9), 6-4 victory against No. 24 Elise Mertens of Belgium. The other women moving on Sunday are unseeded and in unfamiliar territory, never having been in any major quarterfinal.
Jabeur next plays Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic, while Tatjana Maria, 34, and Jule Niemeier, 22, will meet in an all-German quarterfinal.
Bouzkova topped Caroline Garcia 7-5, 6-2, Maria defeated 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 after erasing two match points, and Niemeier beat Heather Watson 6-2, 6-4.
“There’s no reason ... not to keep this going," said Bouzkova, who pulled out of the French Open in May after testing positive for COVID-19 before her second-round match. "Kind of believing in myself right now.”
There's been a lot of that going around at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic put an end to such thoughts for van Rijthoven.

Rugby proposed to be included in South Asian Games 2023
Rugby Asia President Qais Al-Dhalai has proposed to include the sport in the upcoming South Asian Games, scheduled to take place in Pakistan in 2023.
Qais made the proposal as he met with Bangladesh Olympic Association Secretary-General Syed Shahed Reza in Dhaka Wednesday.
Nepal Olympic Association Secretary-General Nilendra Raj Shrestha was also present.
Qais is in Bangladesh to watch the Rugby series between hosts Bangladesh and Nepal.
Rugby is popular in Southeast Asia and also gaining popularity in the other parts of Asia as well.
Qais requested Shahed and Nilendra to include the sport in the upcoming South Asian Games as the approval of five national Olympic committees is required to include a new sport.
Shahed said the Bangladesh Olympic Association is always helping Rugby to grow more but at the end of the day it is the host nation's call.
READ: Nazmus Shakib elected Asia Rugby development committee member
Qais said Asia Rugby will keep helping the Bangladesh Rugby Federation (Union). "Bangladesh is considered a potential market in Asia. South Asia is a big market for us. The national Olympic committees should take more care of Rugby because it is an Olympic sport."
The Asia Rugby president met Pakistan's National Olympic Committee officials recently and he is hopeful that Rugby would be included in the next South Asian Games.
Nilendra said: "Rugby is not yet popular in Nepal but today I am here because of rugby. The seven-a-side version is more interesting. I think it can make a place in the South Asian Games."

2022 Wimbledon Championships: All You Need to Know
The qualifying round for the 2022 Wimbledon Championships will begin on June 20 (Monday) and run until June 23. The main event of the championships will begin on June 27 and will finish on July 10 (Sunday) with a Men's Singles final match. The Wimbledon 2022 Championships will include five major events. However, the men's and women's singles events will be the main attraction of the championship. The notable aspects of this year's Wimbledon are discussed in this article.
Wimbledon Championships: Tournament Format and Notable Past Winners
Wimbledon is the oldest and most renowned tennis event in the world, and it takes place in London, England. It is also one of the four Grand Slam tennis championships held each year. The inaugural edition of the Championship was held in 1877, and this year's edition will be the 135th. Wimbledon is the only major tennis tournament that continues to be played on a conventional surface.
Format
A large number of players take part in the qualifiers to get an entry into the first round of the main event. All the rounds of the main event are knockout, which includes the first round, second round, third round, fourth round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final. Matches in men’s singles and doubles are best-of-five sets.

All other events are best-of-three sets, with the exception of these two. A tiebreak game is played if the score reaches 6-all, except the fifth (five-set match) or the three (three-set match). In this case, a two-game lead wins the contest. Since 2019, a final set tie-break game is played if the score reaches 12-all.
Past Winners
Winning the championship is a dream for a professional tennis player. Over the last 100 years, many greats have won the tournament multiple times. Roger Federer of Switzerland has won the Wimbledon Men's Singles event a record eight times, while Martina Navratilova of the United States has won the Women's Singles event a record ninth time.
Australia’s Todd Woodbridge won the most double titles with 9 and the UK’s Laurence Doherty won the most with 13 titles (singles and doubles) in gentlemen's events. The USA's Elizabeth Ryan won most of the 12 double titles, while Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King of the USA won most of the 20 titles each (singles and doubles) in the ladies' events.
Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Ashleigh Barty of Australia are the reigning men's and women's Wimbledon champions, respectively.

Other Events at Wimbledon 2022
The 2022 Wimbledon Championships will include three more main events in addition to the Men's and Women's Singles. Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles are the three events. Sixteen pairs will be seeded for each of these three tournaments. These competitions follow the same format as the singles events. However, there is no fourth round in these three events, hence the winners of the third round will advance to the quarter-finals.
2022 Wimbledon Championships: Prize Money
This year's Wimbledon Championship has a record prize money of 40,350,000 pounds. The winner of both the men's and women's singles competitions will take home the top prize of 2 million pounds, with the runners-up taking home more than 1 million pounds. The winner of the men's and women's doubles tournaments, on the other hand, will get more than 500,000 pounds, while the runners-up will receive more than 250,000 pounds.
The champions of both the men's and women's mixed doubles tournaments will bring home more than 100,000 pounds, while the runners-up will grab more than 50,000 pounds. Additionally, there are also prizes for singles and doubles wheelchairs, as well as quad singles and doubles.
Aftermath
Wimbledon is a prestigious sporting event in the world, with millions of spectators following the championship around the world. Roger Federer is one of the top players that will not compete in the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Furthermore, the current ATP No. 1 player, Daniil Medvedev, will be unable to compete in this year's championship due to the fact that players from Russia and Belarus would be unable to compete at Wimbledon.
The excitement for the main event will not be dampened by the absence of a few players. The contestants will give it their all in order to go farther in the tournament. Tennis fans will be very interested in this year's Championship, as they have been in previous Wimbledon tournaments.
