Wimbledon Fourth Round Preview: Who's Into the Quarterfinals?
Wimbledon's second week has already delivered its biggest shock: every one of the women's top-3 seeds is out. Half of the quarterfinal field was confirmed on Sunday, and the other half is decided today, Monday 6 July, as the fourth round wraps up on both sides of the draw.
Here's exactly who's already through, what's left to be settled today, and the storylines shaping the business end of the Championships.
Already Confirmed: The First Four Quarterfinals
These four matchups were locked in after Sunday's play and don't need a preview, they're set.

Draw |
Why it matters |
|
Jannik Sinner [1] vs Jan-Lennard Struff |
Men's, top half |
Defending champion Sinner hasn't dropped a set and is yet to face a seeded player - Struff, who beat Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round, is his toughest unseeded test yet. |
|
Felix Auger-Aliassime [3] vs Novak Djokovic [7] |
Men's, top half |
A genuine blockbuster: Auger-Aliassime has lost just one service game all tournament, while seven-time champion Djokovic is chasing yet another deep run at the All England Club. |
|
Naomi Osaka [14] vs Karolina Muchova [10] |
Women's, top half |
Osaka's straight-sets upset of world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka was the standout result of the tournament, her first Wimbledon quarterfinal, and best-ever run at the event. |
|
Jessica Pegula [4] vs Coco Gauff [7] |
Women's, top half |
An all-American clash between two of the tour's most consistent players, with a semifinal spot on the line. |
Still to Be Decided: Monday's Fourth Round
The other half of the draw plays out today. These four results will complete the men's quarterfinal lineup.
|
Match |
Storyline |
|
Alex de Minaur [5] vs Flavio Cobolli [9] |
De Minaur has been the more assured of the two, cruising through three rounds, while Cobolli has needed to fight from two sets down at times to reach this stage. |
|
Grigor Dimitrov vs Arthur Fery |
A battle of wildcards, Dimitrov looks sharp after a difficult run of retirements last year, while Fery is Great Britain's last remaining singles player, chasing a first-ever fourth-round win at a major. |
|
Taylor Fritz [6] vs Alexander Bublik [10] |
Fritz is aiming for a third straight Wimbledon quarterfinal; Bublik, one of the tour's most unpredictable shot-makers, arrives off a five-set win over Frances Tiafoe. |
|
Alexander Zverev [2] vs Jiri Lehecka [13] |
Zverev, freshly crowned French Open champion this year, is chasing his first-ever Wimbledon quarterfinal and holds a lopsided head-to-head advantage over Lehecka. |
And these four complete the women's side.
|
Match |
Storyline |
|
Jasmine Paolini [13] vs Alexandra Eala [29] |
The day's headline match, opening play on Centre Court. Eala stunned defending champion Iga Swiatek in the third round to become the first Filipina in the Open Era to reach this stage of a major; 2024 finalist Paolini already has a win over her this year, on hard courts in Dubai. |
|
Ashlyn Krueger vs Marta Kostyuk [12] |
Unseeded Krueger has been one of the form players of the tournament's opening week against a Kostyuk side that's been battle-tested in three-setters. |
|
Madison Keys [26] vs Linda Noskova [9] |
Keys, the reigning Australian Open champion, faces a Noskova side capable of taking the game away from anyone on her day. |
|
Marie Bouzkova [21] vs Elise Mertens [25] |
The most understated of the day's matches on paper, but with a quarterfinal spot up for grabs, expect a tight contest between two players in good recent form. |
Biggest Storylines of the Tournament So Far
- A wide-open women's draw. With Sabalenka, Swiatek and Rybakina all out, the tournament is guaranteed another first-time or different Wimbledon champion, extending a run that's held since 2016.
- Osaka's comeback story. A four-time major champion, Osaka reached her first Wimbledon quarterfinal by beating the world No. 1, which is one of her best results since returning to the tour.
- Alexandra Eala's fairytale run. The Filipina has already beaten a Wimbledon champion in Swiatek and reached the second week of a major for the first time in her career.
- Notable absentees. Two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew with a wrist injury, and home favourite Jack Draper pulled out with a recurring arm problem, two big names missing from the men's draw.
- Zverev's form. Fresh off winning his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, Zverev arrives at Wimbledon looking to finally break through to a first quarterfinal at the All England Club.
- Britain's last hope. Wildcard Arthur Fery is the sole remaining British singles player in the draw, and a win over Dimitrov would be the best result of his career.
