Wimbledon 2026 still does not know the full lineup of the quarterfinals. The match between Alexander Zverev and Jiri Lehecka, the last pending match of the round of 16, had to be suspended at the curfew of 11:00 PM local time, so both will return this Tuesday to complete the match.
The German has a very clear path to qualification after winning the first two sets 6-4 and 7-5, but he will have to finish the job a day later due to the strict regulations of the All England Club, which do not allow tennis to be played beyond 11:00 PM. In fact, the tournament halted the match at 11:56 PM, with the score tied at 3-3 in the third set. The winner of the match will face Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals, who secured his spot hours earlier after convincingly defeating Alexander Bublik.
This Tuesday, the conclusion of Zverev-Lehecka
The suspension came when the match had not yet reached its conclusion, forcing both players to completely change their plans. Although Zverev will start with a significant advantage of two sets to nil, Lehecka will have a night to recover physically, analyze what happened, and try to find solutions to turn around a match that had become complicated for him.
For the German, the interruption poses a slight setback at a time when he seemed to have control of the match. However, it will also allow him to face the conclusion with fresher legs before a potential quarterfinal showdown against Fritz, one of the most solid players on grass this season.
The resumption of the match will be one of the highlights of Tuesday's action, as it will close out the round of 16 and determine the last member of a quarterfinal lineup that already includes names like Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Jan-Lennard Struff, Arthur Fery, Flavio Cobolli, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Taylor Fritz. Who will be the eighth?
