Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova is also in the quarterfinals of the US Open.
The Czech finished the run of the American outsider Peyton Stearns in New York on Monday and won 6:7(3),6:3,6:2.
In the round of the top eight players, Vondrousova meets American Madison Keys. The former finalist surprisingly won the US duel with world number three Jessica Pegula in just 61 minutes with 6:1.6:3.
“Didn’t expect that after Wimbledon”
The 28-year-old Keys had lost the American final against Sloane Stephens in Flushing Meadows in 2017, but had always failed in the third round at the latest in the past three years. Pegula was once again unable to confirm her good form.
Vondrousova, on the other hand, lived up to expectations after triumphing at the classic grass field in Wimbledon. “I didn’t expect that after Wimbledon, there was a lot of pressure,” said the 24-year-old.
