Mertens reaches Wimbledon last eight for first time

SPORTS 06.07.2026

Belgium's Elise Mertens reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time with a 6-4, 6-4 win against Czech 21st seed Marie Bouzkova on Monday.

Text size:

Mertens, seeded 25th, followed her shock third round win over second seed Elena Rybakina with another commanding performance at the grass-court Grand Slam.

She is finally into the last eight at the All England Club at the ninth attempt.

The 30-year-old's only Grand Slam semi-final appearance came at the 2018 Australian Open.

Mertens, a two-time Wimbledon doubles winner, faces Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova or 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the quarter-finals.
