The first fourth round result of the day is in and it’s a rare victory for a favourite in the women’s draw. Petra Kvitova (7) needed to dig deep to force her way past Maria Sakkari (22) 6-7 6-3 6-2 but one of the most popular players on tour remains on course for her first grand slam title since 2014.
Next up for last year’s beaten finalist is a quarter-final against the winner of top seed Ash Barty’s clash with Alison Riske (18).
Great effort by @Petra_Kvitova to turn around her match with Maria Sakkari, totally dominant in sets two and three. Into the quarters and maybe another clash with Barty
