Safiullin on lawn
On grass, Safiullin only had three matches from the ATP before the tournament – and he had only won one. This victory happened recently in Mallorca. Of course, the ATP does not count qualis, challengers and, for example, the Wimbledon qualification in Roehampton 2021. In the course of the tournament so far, the Russian, who is in the main draw for the first time, has been able to improve his grass record with victories against Roberto Bautista Agut (five sets), Corentin Moutet (three), Guido Pella (three) and Denis Shapovalov (four).

Unseeded Quarterfinalist
Among the remaining eight tennis pros are two unseeded players. One of them is Safiullin, who at number 92 in the world has the highest ranking position of any quarterfinalist. In February, the Russian was ten places better. The right-hander has not yet reached a final or even a tournament victory on the ATP tour. This Wimbledon quarter-final is his most valuable career result. For the first time he is in the last eight of a major. Otherwise, the 25-year-old is still quite often on the Challenger level, has played four finals there – and won all of them. The last title comes from February from Koblenz.
