Top seed Aryna Sabalenka reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals following a tough workout by a familiar opponent on Sunday, while it was a mixed day for Britain as Cameron Norrie was left as the last home hope standing after Sonay Kartal went out.

Aryna Sabalenka started the match on a high note, breaking Elise Mertens to register a 4-1 lead in the first set. However, Mertens bounced back, breaking Sabalenka’s serve by moving her around the court and disrupting her rhythm. However, Sabalenka broke again to clinch the opening set 6-4.
