"It's going to be a tough match, but we are in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon so what can I expect?" The second relied more on touch than power and resulted in a lawnmower celebration from the Spaniard, who repeatedly pumped his fist. Against van de Zandschulp, the Spaniard failed to serve out the match at 5-3 and led 6/3 in the third-set tie-break before claiming victory on his fourth match point when an overhead flew just wide.

Rafael Nadal comes into top form as he outplays Botic van de ... (The Guardian)

Spaniard eased to a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6) victory and set up a quarter-final clash with his conquerer at Indian Wells in March, Taylor Fritz.

Taylor Fritz, the 11th seed, is yet to drop a set in this tournament, reaching his first career grand slam quarter-final by defeating Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. But Nadal and Djokovic are still here, rolling through the draw, determined to write another page in the sport’s history books. None of those improvements served him particularly well in the face of the pressure and intensity from Nadal early on. On Monday, Nadal was extremely efficient against a challenging opponent until nerves struck as he served for the match, but he pulled himself together to seal the win. “I think, till the end, until I played a bad game at 5-3, it has been a very positive match against a difficult opponent. He reached the quarter‑finals with his 18th grand slam match win in a row after a high‑class performance, outplaying Botic van de Zandschulp, the 21st seed, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6).
