Vandeweghe is one of three Americans left in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, ex- Champion Maria Sharapova also booked a slot in the quarterfinals after defeating Zarina Diyas in straight sets with a score of 6-4 6-4. Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson were tied at 2 sets apiece when the match was suspended because of darkness. She is also able to win a lot of free points from her quick first serve, and hits many more groundstroke winners than she does on other surfaces. The Frenchman then slammed his racket into the ground and once more against his chair, breaking the frame.
