It is the revelation of the tournament: now Jannik awaits him in the quarterfinals. Here’s who is the least “character” tennis player at Wimbledon
“Why would I change hotels now, just because I’m in the quarterfinals. I’m fine where I am, it won’t be a 5-star but it’s fine for me ”.

Yes, because to talk about Jannik Sinner’s next opponent in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, one must forget Rublev’s smashed rackets and Medvedev’s follies. Safiullin is happy to have arrived here, where he recalls the successes of Federer and Nadal, whom he followed as a child. “And the check for the quarters? I haven’t looked at the amount yet, but I imagine it’s enough to allow me to invest in my team”.
