Defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia, top seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, Danish man Holger Rune and debutant Christopher Eubanks of the U.S. roared into the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Monday.

Having edged two tight tiebreaks late on Sunday before being beaten by the tournament's strict 11 p.m. curfew, Serbian Djokovic returned hoping for a quick completion of the match.

Instead, he dropped his first set of the tournament before recalibrating and sealing a 7-6(6), 7-6(6), 5-7, 6-4 victory over Hubert Hurkacz of Poland.

Victory in his 100th match at the tournament gave Djokovic a 90th win.

He is also on a 32-match win streak at the All England Club, while his 56th Grand Slam quarter-final spot is second only to the 58 of Roger Federer.

Holger Rune on Monday became the first Danish man in 65 years to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals and insisted he is "not afraid" to face anybody, even world number one and close friend Alcaraz.

World number six Rune came back from a set and a break down to defeat Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 3-6, 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (7/4), 6-3.

He will next tackle Alcaraz in the last eight after the top seed defeated 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini of Italy in his fourth-round clash.

"I am not afraid, I am excited," said Rune, who was supported on Court One by Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik.

Rune is just seven days older than Alcaraz and they have been friends since their junior days. When they were 12, they even played doubles and reached the semi-finals of a boys event.

"I think he's the same, just so much better now. I think back then he was Carlos, now he's still Carlos," said Rune.

American Eubanks made into the Wimbledon main draw for the first time this year and powered into the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time with a rousing win over Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, 3-6, 7-6(4), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

"I feel like I am living a dream right now, this is absolutely insane," he said after setting up a quarter-final showdown with Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev.

"It's surreal, it's unbelievable, I can't believe it," added the American after notching up his ninth straight win on grass.

In the women's match, Ons Jabeur of Tunisia set up a quarterfinal repeat of last year's Wimbledon showpiece against Elena Rybakina of Russia after crushing out-of-sorts former champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 6-0, 6-3.

Her crowd-pleasing variety of slice, drop shot and change of pace and angle left the 2011 and 2014 champion flailing from the start as the Tunisian raced through the first set in 22 minutes.

The ninth-seeded Czech had the briefest of recoveries in the second, but it did not last and Jabeur marched on.
