    Vandeweghe 6-4 7-6 (6-2) Safarova*

    Coco Vandeweghe speaking after her victory: "I was definitely happy to play mixed yesterday to get lactic acid out. Lucie serves very well and hits the ball cleanly off the baseline and I had to try and retrieve which isn't my forte.

    "My grandfather said he was the best athlete in the family. I'm happy to have friends and family out here to push me forward as I'm trying to catch my grandfather.

    "Hopefully we can make it four Americans left and Madison Keys can win tonight. It's a great section to be in. I love playing in quarter-finals so I can hopefully keep it going."

    On playing Pliskova: "She plays a pretty big game. She holds serve very quickly and makes it difficult to get a rhythm. But she also has to worry about me. I do the same thing on my service game. Hopefully you guys will push me through again."

    Pat Cash is waving to Vandeweghe on the court like an excitable child, which is unbelievably sweet. The two of them seem to have a really lovely relationship.

    A Vandeweghe serve hits the top of Safarova's racquet and loops between the tramlines.

    *Vandeweghe 6-4 6-6 (5-2) Safarova

    Safarova back on serve.

    She tries to poke the ball over the net from close range after a rally, but she can't clear it.

    The pair switch ends, and on Safarova's second serve the Czech plonks the ball long over the baseline while doing the splits. Ouch.

    Vandeweghe 6-4 6-6 (3-2) Safarova*

    Safarova flights her return to a big Vandeweghe serve wide to draw the two level again.

    Then a nice skip to the net from the American allows her to move in front with a backhand winner.

    One good, one bad.

    Vandeweghe snatches a point back but can only play the next one wide.

    Vandeweghe 6-4 6-5 Safarova*

    A wayward forehand is the only error from Vandeweghe as she skips through her service game.

    It's down to Safarova to try and force a tie-break.

    *Vandeweghe 6-4 5-5 Safarova

    Clever stuff from Coco, sending Safarova this way and that before curving a backhand winner beyond her for 15-15.

    The Czech then double faults - her third of the match - before a Vandeweghe backhand and a volley winner allow her to hold.

    Dennis Ethan: Please can you tell me what tennis players are looking at when picking balls to serve with?

    Superstition? Fluffiness? Greenness? I suspect it's a combination of all those things.

    Vandeweghe 6-4 5-4 Safarova*

    A fine forehand from Vandeweghe is the best shot of a speedy game as she holds to love.

    *Vandeweghe 6-4 4-4 Safarova

    Eurgh. Safarova is in complete control of the point, Vandeweghe has given up as the Czech moves in for a smash, there's acres of open court - and she plonks it down in front of her feet. Dearie me.

    She still holds to 30, mind.

    Vandeweghe ups her tempo to move to 40-30 after Safarova snaffles a couple of points.

    Vandeweghe races to a 0-30 lead, courtesy of a stonking forehand winner, before Safarova cracks down an ace.

    A loose backhand from Vandeweghe draws the two level, but then Safarova fluffs two backhands down the line to cancel out her break straight away.
