Vondrousova into first Wimbledon quarter-final

LONDON, July 9, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Former French Open runner-up Marketa Vondrousova reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time on Sunday with a three-set win over Czech compatriot Marie Bouzkova.

World number 42 Vondrousova came through 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 on the back of 37 winners and 44 unforced errors.

The 24-year-old will face either US fourth seed Jessica Pegula or unseeded Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine for a place in the semi-finals.

It will be Vondrousova's first appearance in the last eight of a major since reaching the French Open final in 2019 where she was defeated by Ashleigh Barty.
