Jelena Ostapenko needed eight match points to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The French Open champion beat fourth-seeded Elina Svitolina 6-3, 7-6 (6) on Court 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ostapenko is into the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the first time. However, the 20-year-old Latvian won the girls’ title at Wimbledon in 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before winning the title at Roland Garros last month, Ostapenko had never before been past the third round at a major tournament. She was the first woman to win her debut tour-level title at a Grand Slam tournament since 1979.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two-time Grand Slam champion beat Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seventh-seeded Russian will be playing in the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the fourth time, but the first since 2007. She has yet to advance past that stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Radwanska, seeded ninth, made at least the quarterfinals five times in her 11 previous appearances \u2014 including losing to Serena Williams in the final in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another former finalist, Agnieszka Radwanska, was on No. 3 Court against Svetlana Kuznetsova.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play at the two main stadiums will start at about 1:30 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second Monday at Wimbledon is, arguably, the busiest day in tennis.<\/span><\/p>\n

All 16 fourth-round matches at the All England Club are played on the same day, a schedule that will produce all eight male and all eight female quarterfinalists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Venus Williams, a five-time Wimbledon champion playing for the 20th time at the grass-court major, will be first on Centre Court against 19-year-old Ana Konjuh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy Murray will be second in the main stadium, followed by Roger Federer.<\/span><\/p>\n

On No. 1 Court, Johanna Konta will be up first, followed by Rafael Nadal. Novak Djokovic is third.<\/span><\/p>\n

The remaining fourth-round matches will be played on the other show courts at the All England Club.<\/span><\/p>\n
