Hungarian Márton Fucsovics reached the quarter-finals at the Wimbledon tennis championship after winning a 2-hour 44-minute match against Russian Andrei Rublev in five sets on Monday.
The Hungarian tennis player who ranks 48th and his Russian rival ranking 5th in the world, faced each other for the fifth time this year. Recently, the Nyíregyháza tennis player has not done too well: Rublev won all four matches before Monday, the last two easily.
The last Hungarian singles player to reach a quarter-final in a Grand Slam tournament was Ágnes Szávay at the 2007 US Open.
Among the men, Balázs Taróczy made it to the top eight in 1976 and again in 1981 at the French Open.
Fucsovics will face top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Wednesday.
