Hungary's top-ranked tennis player, Márton Fucsovics has made it to the last eight in the men's singles event at The Championships Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon, England by beating No. 5 seed Russian Andrey Rublev in five sets: 6-4, 4-6, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3.
As the competition's website notes, this is the first time that the world No. 48 from Nyíregyháza, NE Hungary, is through to a Grand Slam quarter-final, the third Hungarian man to reach as far at the All England Club, but the first since 1948 and the first at any Grand Slam in 30 years.
"I think I will become famous now in Hungary,” Fucsovics grinned after the match. “Yeah, it's a big thing, huge thing. But for the moment I'm not thinking about what will happen in Hungary, if I will be in the news or if people will talk about me," he is quoted on the website.
In a place for the semi-finals at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Fucsovics - who won the junior men's singles event in Wimbledon 11 years ago, will face defending champion No. 1 seed (and five-time Wimbledon singles winner) Serbian Novak Djokovic.
