"That's the reason I came back from (knee) surgery," three-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka said after the classic. Sixth seed Tsitsipas admitted defeat, when he was playing such scintillating tennis, had left him in tears. Third seed Federer, bidding to emulate his 2009 French Open title, was sublime in the dazzling sunshine, waltzing past Argentine Leonardo Mayer 6-2 6-3 6-3. Defending champion Rafael Nadal was equally impressive during a 6-2 6-3 6-3 win over Argentine debutant Juan Ignacio Londero, reaching his 38th Grand Slam quarter-final. Left-handed Czech teenager Market Vondrousova reached her first Grand Slam quarter-final in stunning fashion -- thrashing Anastasija Sevastova 6-2 6-0.
