Wimbledon 2017 | Novak Djokovic enters the quarter-finals; Johana Konta advances to the semi-finals

The second-seeded player, Djokovic, overcame an injury and grabbed a 6-2, 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 win against Mannarino in the pre-quarter tie. During the match, the second-seeded player needed treatment for a troublesome shoulder, but he had enough in the tank to complete the game on a victorious note. Now, Djokovic will face 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych on Wednesday in a bid to secure a semi-final spot.

In women’s singles, 26-year-old Konta controlled her nerves to claw back from near-defeat in the second set and beat second seed Halep in a thrilling match. She registered a 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 win to become Britain’s first women’s Wimbledon semi-finalist since 1978.

"I've always believed in my own ability and I've always dreamt big," Konta said as quoted by BBC Sport.

"But I'm much more process orientated, so I don't give myself too much time to dream. I'm more focused on the work."

In the next round, the British player will face five-time champion Venus Williams on Thursday for a place in the final.

Williams won her match in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, to knock out French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko and reach the semi-finals.

In another match, Garbine Muguruza thrashed Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. The 14th seeded player will next play against Slovakia’s Magdaléna Rybáriková.
