Roger Federer said Sunday he hopes to play Wimbledon "one more time" despite being sidelined for a year with a knee injury. "I hope I can come back one more time.

Italy's Jannik Sinner stunned Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time on Sunday. The 20-year-old triumphed 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8/10), 6-3 to become the youngest man in the last-eight since Nick Kyrgios in 2014. Sinner had never won a grass court match until this year's Wimbledon.

Cameron Norrie reached the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam for the first time in 19 attempts at Wimbledon on middle Sunday, but Heather Watson's run was ended by Centre Court debutant Jule Niemeier. The ninth seed had eased past another American, Steve Johnson, in the third round and he built on that with another excellent performance on No 1 Court, beating 30th seed Paul 6-4 7-5 6-4. Having never previously been past the third round at a Grand Slam, Norrie is thriving on his first deep run and will be favoured to go further, with unseeded Belgian David Goffin his opponent in the last eight. "To make the quarters for the first time, in front of my family and friends here from college is so special," Norrie said on court amid loud applause from the crowd.

Maria, a mother of two, returned from maternity leave under a year ago and came back from a set down to triumph 5-7 7-5 7-5 against the 2017 French Open champion. That sent the 34-year-old into the first grand slam quarter-final of her career. With that achievement, the German matched a feat only six women had previously managed, as she became the seventh woman in the Open Era to reach the last eight of a major after turning 34. World number 103 Maria, who salvaged two match points in the second set, joins the great Billie Jean King, Virginia Wade, Chris Evert, nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova, Serena Williams and Venus Williams on that distinguished list.

The British Grand Prix was red-flagged after a horror opening-corner multi-car smash at Silverstone on Sunday, with Zhou Guanyu's Alfa Romeo flipped upside down and hurtling over the circuit's safety barrier.
