Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament.
On Day 7, there was one of the points of the year, injury drama and a Wimbledon triumph for a star with a complicated record.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina lay flat on his back, his chest rising and falling. As he sat up, he lent Félix Auger-Aliassime a wry smile, almost in disbelief. At the back of the court, the Canadian, breathing equally as heavily, was also stunned.
With No. 3 seed Auger-Aliassime two sets to one up, leading 3-1 and down 0-30 on No. 22 seed Davidovich Fokina’s serve in the fourth set, the duo played one of the best points of the year so far.
