WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Third-seeded Ons Jabeur advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Diane Parry of France.

The Tunisian will next face either former champion Angelique Kerber or Elise Mertens for a shot at the quarterfinals.

Jabeur reached the quarterfinals a year ago at the All England Club.

Also, Heather Watson reached the fourth round for the first time with a 7-6 (6), 6-2 win over Kaja Juvan of Slovenia. The 30-year-old Briton is making her 12th singles appearance at the All England Club.

Watson will next face Jule Niemeier of Germany.
