Former world number one Iga Swiatek progressed to her fourth consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final with a 6-4 6-1 victory against Denmark’s Clara Tauson, who appeared to be struggling with sickness.
Eighth seed Swiatek has been impressive on grass this year and that continued with this dominant win that sets up a match with world number 19 Liudmila Samsonova for a place in the semi-finals.
“I just tried to be ready for anything,” said Swiatek.
“This year I feel I can just play my game and hopefully it will last as long as possible.”
Both players traded breaks of serve early in the first set before Swiatek got the crucial advantage at 5-4, a double fault by Tauson sealing it for her opponent.
Tauson then took a medical timeout, appearing to indicate an issue with her throat, but was soon able to continue.
But while there had not been much between the pair in the first set, that changed in the second as Swiatek lost just one game on her way to an ultimately comfortable victory.
Samsonova, who progressed after beating Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-5 6-4, has been in strong form at Wimbledon so far, having lost just 13 games in her previous three matches.
She was given a sterner test by Bouzas Maneiro, but sealed victory in one hour and 43 minutes to reach a first Grand Slam quarter-final.
