–

Not all fourth-round matches are created equal.

You have Novak Djokovic v Hubert Hurkacz. And then you have Denis Shapovalov v Roman Safiullin.

It’s great news for the Canadian No. 26 seed that he finds No. 92 standing in his way to get to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

But he can’t take it for granted.

One match – Tiafoe v Dimitrov, got held over from Saturday because of the rain.

(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).
