LONDON (AP) — No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov reached his second Wimbledon quarterfinal by beating Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 on Sunday.

“To be honest, today was a really great performance — at least from my side,” said Khachanov, who finished with more than twice as many winners as unforced errors, 44-21.

The Russian, also a quarterfinalist at the All England Club four years ago, will play No. 5 Taylor Fritz, the U.S. Open runner-up last year.

Khachanov has been a Grand Slam semifinalist twice, at the U.S. Open in 2022 and the Australian Open in 2023.

The 109th-ranked Majchrzak was playing in a fourth-round match at a major for the first time. He was on a six-match Grand Slam losing streak before Wimbledon.
