Wimbledon Drama: Pavić and Arevalo Unstoppable!
If you thought tennis was boring, Mate Pavić and Marcelo Arevalo are here to prove you wrong! This Croatian-Salvadoran duo not only reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year but have gone one step further this year – they made it to the semifinals! Yes, you read that right, the semifinals of Wimbledon, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world.
How did they do it?
Their Sunday victory over the Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl was a true tennis treat. The score 7-5, 7-6 (13) after 94 minutes of play shows how tight and intense the match was. Only one break point was played in the entire match, highlighting their strong serving. In the 12th game of the first set, Pavić and Arevalo converted a set point to take the lead. The second set was decided by a tiebreak, where the Czechs had four set points but failed to convert any. On the fifth match point, Pavić served to clinch the victory for the world’s best pair.
But that’s not all!
In the semifinals, they defeated the tenth seeds, Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5) after two hours and 33 minutes of play. Remarkably, they never lost their serve in the match, saved only one break point, and converted one of seven break opportunities.
For Mate Pavić, this is the fourth time reaching the Wimbledon semifinals, and for Arevalo, the second. Pavić has previously won Wimbledon with Nikola Mektić and has two runner-up finishes in finals with the same partner and with Austrian Oliver Marach.
Why does this matter?
Pavić and Arevalo are currently the top-ranked doubles team on the ATP list, and their success at Wimbledon only cements their dominance. This year, they have already surpassed last year’s result and are now one step away from the final. Their play exemplifies how teamwork, persistence, and top-notch technique pay off.
What’s next?
In the semifinals, they will face Australian Rinky Hijikata and Dutch David Pel, who entered the tournament as replacements. It promises to be a spectacular match, as Pavić and Arevalo have shown they are ready for any challenge.
