Wimbledon 2017: Men’s results – Quarterfinals
Taking a look a the men’s quarterfinals results from Wimbledon 2017, including shocking moments from two of the top seeds
Just a couple of days ago, Gilles Muller pulled the biggest upset of Wimbledon 2017 when he knocked off Rafael Nadal in five sets. That seemed like it would be the big one for the second grand slam of the year as far as the men’s results are concerned. However, it was just the beginning after what came around on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.
The day started with a monster upset as the top-seed, Andy Murray, blew a 2-1 set lead against 24th-seeded Sam Querrey to get upset by the American. This was a huge moment for the United State, and a huge rarity to upset a No. 1 seeded player. However, the other early match was slightly less exciting. It went five sets, but the aforementioned Muller was taken down by No. 7 seed Marin Cilic.
Shock for the fans didn’t stop with Murray, though. Tomas Berdych took the first set against second-seeded Novak Djokovic. After falling behind two games in the second set, Djokovic was forced to retire form the match due to a lingering elbow injury — another shocker. There was no shock with Roger Federer, though, who won in straight sets.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the men’s quarterfinal results from Wimbledon 2017:
(24) Sam Querrey def. (1) Andy Murray – 3-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1, 6-1
(7) Marin Cilic def. (16) Gilles Muller – 3-6, 7-6, 7-5, 5-7, 6-1
(3) Roger Federer def. (6) Milos Raonic – 6-4, 6-2, 7-6
(11) Tomas Berdych def. (2) Novak Djokovic – 7-6, 2-0, RETIRED
Obviously there is still plenty of talent left in the men’s tournament at Wimbledon. With that being said, doesn’t it seem like the door is wide-open for Federer to get him yet another title in London? It certainly feels that way.

That being said, Querrey upsetting Murray was something nobody saw coming. Also, Berdych should be quite spry given how short his match with Djokovic was. As such, this tournament may seem open-and-closed, but it’s far from it until someone’s crowned victorious.
