History has already been made. Yes, because to tell someone who sits in Church Road every day that Daniel Galan from Bucaramanga is in the last 16 at Wimbledon looks like a joke gone bad, but instead it’s the plain truth. The first Colombian to reach the round of 16 in London is a big boy who has already achieved his best Grand Slam result of his career (he failed to progress beyond the third round at Roland Garros 2020 and the US Open 2022). That’s why Sinner has a unique rather than rare opportunity in a part of the draw that saw space created for the likes of Daniel Elahi Galán Riveros (full name).
