Jarry: "I had been accumulating these emotions for a long time"
Excited, the Chilean on the track and also in the press conference, where they reminded him that his grandfather already made it to the fourth round at Wimbledon fifty years ago.
It is difficult to break into the top 16 of a Grand Slam tournament, even more so when your starting point is the qualifying phase a week earlier. This is the feat that Nico Jarry has gifted us at Wimbledon 2025, reaching a stage he had only achieved once before in his career (Roland Garros 2023), although the experience is nothing like the second time around. After falling out of the top 100 and battling a serious ear problem, the South American is on cloud nine after six consecutive victories, defeating Fonseca this afternoon and now set to face Norrie. As you can imagine, Jarry's excitement is as high as his tennis level.
Match Analysis
"The first two sets were very good on my part, playing at the level I've been playing these last two weeks, but then the break of the third set changed everything, making me think a bit more at that moment and start to doubt a little. Joao started playing much better, returning better, those two things combined to change the dynamics. Later in the fourth, I'd say everything was very even in terms of level, I think I had only one break point in my favor, but I was still trying to regain my best tennis. Towards the end of the set, I started feeling more comfortable and confident, giving me a lot of strength to play well in the tiebreak."
From Qualifying to the Round of 16
"It doesn't matter if you've gone through qualifying or not; every player has their own battles and difficulties, this is normal nowadays. Being in the fourth round of this tournament is very special, I am tremendously happy to be in this position. It's very difficult to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the moment, so I'm very happy. It has been very emotional moments after the match, the fourth set was very tough, so I was able to release all that energy and joy I had been carrying. I also think that much of that emotion had been building up inside me over this past year, I needed to let it out and enjoy this moment."
Experience of Playing Against Fonseca
"He's a very good guy, that's for sure. For only being 18 years old, he plays at a very high level of tennis, he is very mature for his age, I think we all see this. He's a great player, so he will have many years ahead to continue improving."
His Grandfather Reached R4 at Wimbledon 50 Years Ago
"I remember coming to this tournament with him when I was 10-11 years old. Since then, I have been in love with this tournament, so I am very happy to have won each of the matches here, extending my stay here for two more days after each round, it makes me very happy. This is the longest period I have ever been at a Grand Slam, but I hope to keep playing a bit more."
Cameron Norrie, Next Opponent
"He has been playing very good tennis in recent months. I know he struggled a lot last season, but now he has that confidence again and, besides, he is playing at home. Obviously, that will be an advantage for him. He's a great guy, he loves to fight, so it will be a tough match. I'll have to be very, very fast on the court, also very consistent, not giving him too many chances. I have to be aggressive from the first point. The last time we faced each other was, I think, in the qualifying rounds of Rome, but since then many things have changed, we both have improved."
