WIMBLEDON, England — It was a day of attrition at Wimbledon on Wednesday as the top two seeds on the men’s singles draw hobbled out of the tournament.
No. 1 Andy Murray and No. 2 Novak Djokovic, both struggling with injuries, were eliminated in the quarterfinal round in a startling day at the All England Club.
Murray has a sore hip that stifled his movement on court, and the No. 24 seed Sam Querrey took advantage to win, 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-1.
Hours later, Djokovic was forced to retire against 11th-seeded Tomas Berdych with a sore right arm.
