Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova set up a possible quarter-final against Serena Williams at Wimbledon by putting an end to Coco Vandeweghe's tournament.
The
Moscow resident was just 15 when she played in the Wimbledon main draw
for the first time in 2007, and this is her 10th tilt at the tournament.
A day after her 25th birthday, she earned a maiden last-eight appearance thanks to a 6-3, 6-3 win on Court 18.
Ranked 23rd in the world, and seeded 21st,
Pavlyuchenkova has a career littered with early grand slam exits, and
just two prior quarter-final showings, at the French Open and US Open,
both coming in 2011.
