Defending champion Andy Murray has defeated big serving 20th seed Kevin Anderson to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the seventh time.
Murray won 6-4 6-3 7-6 (8-6) in a match that ended under the Centre Court roof after a rain delay in the second set, reports the BBC.
Murray, 27, has now won 17 consecutive matches at the All England Club, stretching back to London 2012.
He remains on course to defend his Wimbledon title, and if he does so, he will equal Fred Perry, the last Briton to do so in 1936.
