The first day of quarter finals did not disappoint. The day started with the 2 ladies quarter finals. The first was between Zidansek and Badosa. Both these 2 ladies vying for their first grand slam semi-final. Zidansek came back from 3-0 down in the first to take the first set 7-5. She was then a break up and lead 4-2 in the 2nd set before Badosa hit back with 4 straight games to take the 2nd set 6-4. It was then Badosa’s turn to be a break up but she was broken straight back. The 13th game in the decider, score was 6-6, turned out to be the most important game of the match. Zidansek fighting off three break points to take the game and lead 7-6. Badosa managed to save 1 match point but couldn’t save the 2nd match point. Zidansek became the first Slovenian to make a grand slam quarter-final and now she becomes the first Slovenian to make a grand slam semi-final. Can she go all the way? The second quarter final was between 21st seed, Rybakina, and 31st seed, Pavlyuchenkova. The first set went the way of Rybakina 7-6 and the second set went the way of Pavlyuchenkova 6-2. Once again we had a deciding set. Pavlyuchenkova took the early break and lead 2-0 before Rybakina won three games in a row and lead 3-2 with a break. The match eventually finished 9-7 to the 29 year old Pavlyuchenkova. In the male quarter finals, Zverev managed to comfortably beat Davidovich Fokina and Tsitsipas played a solid match to beat 2nd seed Medvedev in straight sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fantasy tournament, ‘Oh My Hat’ continues to lead but a new challenger has taken 2nd place. ‘Lorna Forbes’ is now just 3 points off the lead. ‘Romain Soula’, ‘Ronan the Man’ and ‘Frogs legs yum yum’ are fighting for the last 2 prize positions. Who will be winning the 4 prizes up for grabs? Sadly, our first team has been eliminated from the competition. ‘Hazel Waldron’ has sadly lost all her picks after Medvedev lost on day 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medvedev and Badosa were the only 2 picks to lose on day 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
