London, July 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) The 25th seed American Madison Keys came from a set and a break down to snap qualifier Mirra Andreeva's dream run at Wimbledon in the fourth round, advancing to her ninth major quarterfinal with 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 win, here on Monday.
This was Keys' second Wimbledon quarterfinal. She previously made the last eight at the grass-court major in 2015.
The 16-year-old Andreeva had been bidding to become the youngest Wimbledon quarterfinalist since Anna Kournikova in 1997.
She came within five points of this achievement when she held a point to lead 5-1 in the second set, only for Keys to escape with a backhand winner that would turn her fortunes around.
However, No.102-ranked Andreeva is still guaranteed to break into the Top 100 for the first time after competing in just four tour-level events.
