Wimbledon 2019: Day seven highlights as men's favourites ease through

Cori Gauff’s crazy Wimbledon campaign came to an end on manic Monday as the quarter-final line-ups were confirmed.

Johanna Konta continues to fly the flag for Britain in the singles, responding from a set down to beat two-time SW19 champion Petra Kvitova, while Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal remain on course to meet in the semis.

Here, PA reviews the seventh day of action.

Williams, looking to be getting back to her best, and Carla Suarez Navarro were embroiled in a lengthy rally until the American claimed the point with a nonchalant flicked backhand across her helpless opponent.

Stat of the day

Federer is just one win away from racking up 100 at Wimbledon, after crushing 17th seed Matteo Berrettini in just 74 minutes, which was the quickest men’s singles victory ever in the fourth round.

Gauff’s fairytale ends

The 15-year-old is heading back to America after Halep proved too good. But Gauff has left her mark, winning the hearts of the world with her performances in the first three rounds and there is no doubt that she will be back in the future. Watch this space!
