Wimbledon By The Numbers

In the round of 16, the favorite has to be Federer. All of the top 3 won in straight sets but Federer only gave up 5 games, #1 Djokovic gave up 8 games and #3 Nadal gave up 6. In addition, only Federer played a ranked opponent, #17 Berrettini.


Update: Djokovic prevailed against Federer in a match that set a record for the longest championship match in Wimbledon history: 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 13-12 (7-3) in four hours and 57 minutes. The score shows how close it was and indeed, Federer had two championship points.
