Eight-time champion Roger Federer followed top seed Novak Djokovic into the Wimbledon quarter-finals as both eased through their last-16 matches.
Djokovic, 34, continued his bid for a record-equalling 20th men’s Grand Slam title with a 6-2 6-4 6-2 win against Chile’s Cristian Garin.
Federer, who holds the record alongside Rafael Nadal, later won 7-5 6-4 6-2 against Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.
The Swiss will face second seed Daniil Medvedev or Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz.
Russia’s Medvedev led 6-2 6-7 (2-7) 6-3 3-4 when the pair were forced off the outside court two because of persistent rain.
Djokovic will play Marton Fucsovics in the last eight after the Hungarian beat Russian fifth seed Andrey Rublev.
The Serb will now contest his 50th Grand Slam quarter-final, with only 39-year-old Federer ahead of him after the Swiss reached his 58th.
