Hurkacz stuns Federer to make it to Wimbledon semi-finals

London

Men’s sixth seed Federer, winner of 20 Grand Slam titles, had been chasing Martina Navratilova’s All England Club haul of nine singles titles. Meanwhile, World No.1 Novak Djokovic recorded a century of tour-level wins on grass as he suffocated the challenge of Marton Fucsovics with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win on Wednesday. Following the victory, the Serb set up a last-four battle with Canadian Denis Shapovalov. Shapovalov produced a storming finish to beat Karen Khachanov 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 and reach the Wimbledon semi-finals, his deepest run at a Grand Slam tournament. In mixed doubles, the Indian combination of Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza went down fighting 3-6, 6-3, 9-11 to Jean-Julien Rojer and Andreja Klepac in the Round-of-16.
