Hurkacz is a much easier draw, Federer will probably pass to the semis now. He'll most likely face Berrettini who I really like and who will cause him a lot more problems. Berrettini only lost 1 set so far (1st round against Pella) and will be happy that he's playing Aliassime instead of Zverev.
Đoković has an open road until the final, neither Fucsovics nor Shapovalov can knock him out. He will be a big favorite in the final as well, against whoever comes.

Let's see how far Roger will go, he has a good chance against Hurkacz next, I will be rooting for him.
What intrigues me is the Shapolavov against Kachanov. Karen is a huge underdog here, but I will definitely go with him in a parlay with Djokovic and Berrettini. Although the Berrettini vs Auger-Aliassime might go either way, I think Matteo might pull through in a 5 set match.

That Federer will not play against Medvedev but against Hurkacz is a big surprise for me, maybe Federer has more chances against Hurkacz than against Medvedev. An advantage is certainly that he has one day more regeneration. Should Federer win, his next opponent in the semifinals would be Berrettini? Probably.

The last final they played in Wimbledon was unbelievably epic. Almost 5 hours with that devastating tie break in the 5th for Roger who failed to use one of his two match balls. 
I would love to see them play in the final as well. We can't get a match better than that. Even though based on what I have seen from Federer on grass this season it will be nowhere near as close as their last final. Federer was making way too many unforced errors but maybe he tightened his game in last 2 matches. Did not see them and there is still time to improve even more. With each win his confidence will raise and maybe, just maybe he manages to take one more GS.But he wasn't playing that well last time as well for the most part of the tournament. The final out of a sudden developed into an incredibly awesome game that nobody expected that way. Keep in mind that was summer 2019. It is not like that five hours game was ten years ago. So why shouldn't it happen again? Think how enormously Federer will be pushed by the Wimbledon audience as they love him more than anyone else. If he reaches the final, he isn't without any chance. Maybe a 30:70 underdog.

Ok Medvedev and I really don't the other guy Federer will now play against. As for my other question when Federer can meet Djokovic, they would only face in the finals. In my honest opinion, I would be so happy to see the two playing against each other in the finals. The last final they played in Wimbledon was unbelievably epic. Almost 5 hours with that devastating tie break in the 5th for Roger who failed to use one of his two match balls.
Federer won smoothly against Sonego, which was kind of expected. Still, good for him that he did not waste a lot of energy - the whole match lasted a bit over 2 hours. He needed to be fresh to have a chance against Medvedev, which he accomplished.
Yep, straight set win for Federer still impressive win although it is to be expected. I think he will face the winner of Medvedev vs Hurkacz.
Medvedev is currently struggling against Hurkacz, they are tied at 1-1 in the 5th set. Medvedev losing this would be a huge surprise.
Hurkacz leading 4-2, Medvedev serving. Medvedev is trying to survived in the 5th to got the win. He still has chance though, so let's see how it goes for him.

Medvedev even lost a break in the final set against Hurkacz currently even struggling to get a point on his serve. I think this might be it for Medvedev if he dosent recover somehow and breaks him back
The good thing about Federer advancing to the quarter finals is that he now gains a good bit of confidence. Not only did he get there, but he made it there in 3 - 0 game. I think now in the quarter finals he has a very good chance to also beat Medvedev (if he makes it to the quarters) or the other guy as well. When would he face Novak Djokovic? Semifinals or final?
Federer will probably face Medvedev in the quarterfinals, I assume that Medvedev will win his supplementary match today. Due to the longer recovery time, Federer will certainly have a small advantage, which he needs given his age and lack of match practice.
Is it true what I read, if Medvedev wins Wimbledon he would be #1 in the ATP list, will that work out?
I think the following scenario will make Medvedev the #1
(a) Medvedev reaching the finals
(b) Medvedev winning the Wimbledon
(c) Djokovic not reaching the finals
(d) Djokovic not winning the Wimbledon
So there is the scenario that he has total control with, like winning the Wimbledon. So I guess the best thing to do right now is just focus on winning the Wimbledon this year.

What a surprise, Alexander Zverev has been eliminated. Federer plays his match confidently in 3 sets it seems. Medvedev's match is interrupted but it is not an easy match for him and he still has to make an effort. Djokovic also won his match confidently in 3 sets.
I watched the game of Zverev vs Aliasimme and it really was a weird match to watch. Everything went normal and well for Zverev until suddenly his second serve was non existent anymore therefore Aliasimme was able to win the first two sets. After that i was pretty sure that the match would end after 3 sets with a clear win for Aliasimme but then somehow Zverev was able to recover and managed to win Set 3 and 4 pretty clearly. The fifth set was again hard-fought but in the end Aliasimme won it. Zverev made a total of 20 double faults in this match, which is simply far too many to win, even if you are the better player. Aliasimme took his chances and achieved a huge success.

Berrettini's journey continues on the English grass, beating Belarusian Ilya Ivashka 3 sets to 0 in the round of 16 at Wimbledon without any worries. The Italian left only one service turn to his opponent in an hour and 49 minutes of play, but only in the second set and with a comfortable 5-2 advantage with a double break. There was too much difference between the two players, with the Italian number one statistically giving up only in the aces (7 to 8 for Ivashka), but dominating in all the other fundamental categories (the differential between the Italian's winners and those of the Belarusian is even +20, despite a few more unforced errors).
From what I've seen so far, Federer is struggling a lot. He's still good enough to beat most of the players on quick surfaces and will probably go past Sonego, but after that he has to face Medvedev who will probably be too much for him.
It's truly impressive to see how Federer is still going strong but I'm also a bit sad because the newer generations will remember this Federer - who is vulnerable and is struggling. I'll always remember the one that simply crushed anything in front of him and who glided on the court without even breaking a sweat while delivering worldclass offensive tennis match after match.
I hope he wins this Wimbledon as a crown of his career - but it would really be a surprise. Even for him.

Reading this made me feel sad indeed. He is 39 now and in my mind he is still 20s, strong, and smiling, and the whole world before him,,, it is very sad to see him play even though he won a straight set yesterday almost effortlessly (except first one). If he wins it will be labeled one of the greatest of all time, watch him!

What a day, a lot happening today, I had two bets on, safe enough ones TBH,
Medvedev and Federer to win. Hopefully Medvedev can finish it out tomorrow.
Big upsets also today, Rublev beaten by Fucsovics who is having a good year
for himself so far and Zverev beaten by Felix AA.
On the womens side Jabeur beats Swiatek. Ons Jabeur from Tunisia is making her
own headlines as being her first time into a quarter final and first Tunisian also, she
now faces Sabalenka, a big task.
So Federer is always good for a surprise at Wimbledon, just like Nadal in Paris, but could he hold his own in a 5 set match against Djokovic? I almost don't think so, everything would have to work well for Federer and not for Djokovic. But Federer and Djokovic can only meet in the final anyway.
You'd have to favour Djokovic quite strongly. If he can beat Nadal on the clay, as he did in the French not so long ago, then he can beat Federer on the grass.
Federer is a phenomenal player, but he's not quite at his best any more. I'm not sure anyone can beat Djokovic here really.

Has anybody watched Khachanov - Korda today? I had over games on my ticket and stopped watching after they entered 5th set. Later on I checked result and saw that they had more breaks then holds of serve. Wtf? Men on grass playing like it is WTA on clay?
LOL, what?
I didn't watch the match but I have Khachanov (-0.5) @1.86. I just saw the score and he lost the first set but I know he can come back and cover that spread and eventually he did.
Surprisingly to see Fucsovics beating Rublev in 5 sets. I think he is one of the dark horse in this Wimbledon. Djokovic is also thru to the next game, 3 sets win against Garin.
