Cristian Garin upsets Alex de Minaur in a thrilling 5-setter

Alex de Minaur had one foot in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon after gaining a two-set lead against Garin in the fourth round but the Chilean forced his way back into the match after winning the tie-breaker in the third set. He followed it up with an instant break of serve in the opening game of the fourth, helping him level the absorbing contest.

The Chilean has never been in the last eight of a Grand Slam before and will square off against Kyrgios for a place in the semifinals on Thursday.

World No. 40 Nick Kyrgios showed why he's one of the favorites to win the tournament with an emphatic five-set victory over American Brandon Nakashima.

The match was tied at one set apiece at the hour mark with Kyrgios on the ascendance after a slow start to the game. The Australian was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with a minor shoulder injury but took a painkiller during the medical timeout and went on with the match.
