The Polish star who ended Roger Federer ’s glittering career at Wimbledon stands in the path of Alex de Minaur posting a career-best performance at the All England Club over the next fortnight, while Ajla Tomljanovic will renew hostilities with an old rival next week.
The Australian, who is seeded No. 9 and won a grass court tournament in the Netherlands earlier this month, could meet seven-time champion Novak Djokovic if he reaches the quarterfinals for the first time, though the Serbian is under a cloud after recent knee surgery. After receiving treatment, Ostapenko told her rival; “If you think I am faking, you can talk to the physio”, that her “behaviour is terrible. You have zero respect” and that she was “the worst player on tour”.The hostilities continued in press after the match, with Ostapenko claiming that she would have won had she been 50 percent fit, while the Australian accused her rival of gamesmanship.
In the men’s ranks, Moutet does have the potential to challenge de Minaur, but the Australian’s excellence on grass suggests he will be too strong in a match to be played on Tuesday as he seeks to progress beyond the fourth round for the first time at Wimbledon. LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 22: Queen’s Club semi-finalist Jordan Thompson opens his Wimbledon campaign against the 50th ranked Pavel Kotov. On paper it reads as a tough assignment, but the 31-year-old will fancy his chances of an upset against the recent Roland Garros semi-finalist, who is an inferior player on grass when compared to his deeds on clay courts and is yet to play on the surface this summer.
