For a fifth time in her career, Madison Keys is through to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
The 12th-seeded American eased to a 6-4, 6-3 win over No.18 seed Marta Kostyuk at the All England Club on Friday to book a date with No.7 seed and French Open finalist Jasmine Paolini in the last 16.

Keys’ win added to a strong early morning for American women, as Emma Navarro advanced to her first fourth round at Wimbledon with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Bad Homburg champion Diana Shnaider, snapping the 20-year-old’s eight-match grass-court winning streak. Shnaider had beaten Navarro in two prior three-setters this year. No.2 seed Coco Gauff will looks to make it a perfect 3-0 for U.S. women in the bottom half when she faces British qualifier Sonay Kartal later today.
Keys is now 2-0 against Kostyuk in their careers, and both meetings have come in the third round of Wimbledon. Last year, Keys won 6-4, 6-1, and she was almost as comprehensive in the reprise. Keys lost serve just once — in her first service game — and never again faced break point in 1 hour of 12 minutes of play on Court 12.
