A quick look at Wimbledon: LOOKAHEAD TO WEDNESDAY

The Big Three get back on court at Wimbledon for the quarterfin­als, all facing opponents who beat them the last time they played. Defending champion Novak Djokovic will be first on Centre Court against David Goffin, and eight-time champion Roger Federer follows against Kei Nishikori. Rafael Nadal, a two-time champion at the All England Club, will be second on No. 1 Court against Sam Querrey. The first quarterfin­al match in that stadium will be between Roberto Bautista Agut and Guido Pella. Djokovic is 5-1 against Goffin, but he lost to the Belgian on clay in Monte Carlo in 2017 in their last meeting. Federer is 7-3 against Nishikori, but lost to the eighth-seeded Japanese player on a hard court at last year’s ATP Finals. Nadal is 4-1 against Querrey, but lost to the American on a hard court in 2017in Acapulco. WEDNESDAY’S FORECAST
