Alcaraz, Raducanu, and Shelton Aim for Wimbledon Quarterfinals

Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz sets his sights on the quarter-finals as he faces piano-loving Frenchman Ugo Humbert on Sunday. Humbert, ranked 16th in the world, is a passionate pianist who finds solace in music away from the tennis court.

Alcaraz, the world number three, aims to become the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back. Despite trailing by a set twice against Frances Tiafoe in the third round, Alcaraz's resilience and ability to push his opponents to their limits proved decisive.

British fans are hopeful that Emma Raducanu can replicate her 2021 US Open triumph at Wimbledon. The 21-year-old, now ranked 135th, has a potential path to the semi-finals if she can overcome Lulu Sun and either Paula Badosa or Donna Vekic. Raducanu's victory over Maria Sakkari on Friday marked her second win over a top 10 player in as many weeks.

American Ben Shelton is following in his father's footsteps at Wimbledon. Thirty years after Bryan Shelton reached the fourth round, Ben has matched his father's achievement. On Sunday, he faces world number one Jannik Sinner for a place in the quarter-finals. Shelton defeated Sinner in their first meeting in 2023 but has since lost twice to the Italian.
