Wimbledon 2024: Alexander Zverev Overcomes Fall, Knocks Out Norrie; Shelton Survives Shapovalov Test
The 14th seed Shelton battled past the 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 in three hours and four minutes to become the first left-handed American man to make the fourth round at SW19 since John McEnroe in 1992. The win helped Shelton advance this far in Wimbledon for the first time and set up a clash against top seed Jannik Sinner.
Zverev converted on his sixth match point of the tie-break after saving five set points. Just three points went against serve in the tie-break, but Zverev was perfect on his deal after he fell behind 0/2. While Zverev was concerned about his knee and appeared slightly hampered in his movement for a stretch, his consistently brilliant serving allowed him to swing freely on return and threaten throughout the two-and-a-half-hour match.
