Taylor Fritz is into his first major quarterfinal, ever and Nick Kyrgios is back in the Wimbledon quarters for the first time in eight years.
“He came firing in the fourth set, his level didn’t drop. I’ve been here before, I’ve done it before and I came through.” The crowd was amazing. “First, I want to say helluva an effort by Brandon,” Kyrgios said. He will next face Cristian Garin of Chile, who came from two sets down and saved two match points to beat Alex De Minaur, 2-6, 5-7, 7-6(3), 6-4, 7-6(10-6). No. 11 Fritz, the 6-foot-5 California native, easily handled Australian qualifier Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 to reach the first Grand Slam quarterfinal of his career.

“My agent had to come get me out of a pub at 4 a.m. before I played my match on Centre Court Wimbledon. I’ve come a long way, that’s for sure.” “I was really excited to play de Minaur,” Kyrgios said.
