The very Swiss champion, in his one hundred and seventeenth appearance in his career, returns to lose in straight sets for the first time since 2002 and for the first time in his career suffers a 6-0 on the home lawn of the Centre Court.
The 6-3 7-6 (5) 6-0 that matures on the threshold of two hours of play does not actually leave room for too many interpretations. Hubert Hurkacz - former champion in Miami this year - brings the Polish flag back to the semifinals nine years after Jerzy Janowicz and crowns the dream of a lifetime.
