Down goes the run, but the arrow still points up. Safiullin left Wimbledon in the round of 16, beaten in four by Novak Djokovic despite out-hitting him 45 winners to 42 — the gap was break points, 4 of 14 converted against Djokovic's 5 of 9. The fortnight rescued a season that opened 0-2 with five-set and three-tiebreak losses, squaring the record at 3-3 behind wins over Andrey Rublev (14-12 in a fifth-set breaker), Botic Van De Zandschulp and Joao Fonseca. The ranking arc mirrors it: from ATP No. 170 at season start to 132 now, near his season peak of 127.
