Elina Svitolina broke down in tears on court at Wimbledon following a deadly barrage of Russian strikes on her native Ukraine.
Svitolina reached the quarterfinals in an emotional state for a third time with a 6-2, 6-1 win against China's Wang Xinyu in just 55 minutes.
In the men's draw, fourth seed German Alexander Zverev succumbed in five sets to the 13th seed American Taylor Fritz after being two sets to the good.
Fritz summoned all his energy and fought back from a two-set deficit to prevail 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.
