Dominic Thiem has now reached the fourth round in a fourth consecutive Grand Slam tournament, defeating Jared Donaldson of the United States 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 at Wimbledon.
The eighth-seeded Thiem won despite trailing by two games in each of the first two sets.
Thiem won the first four games of the third set, then won at love in the last game, finishing Donaldson off with a forehand volley at the net.
The 23-year-old Austrian reached the semifinals of the French Open last month, losing to eventual champion Rafael Nadal, and the fourth round of the Australian Open in January.
He had not advanced beyond the third round in three previous appearances at the All England Club.
Donaldson, ranked No. 67, was making his first appearance in the main draw at Wimbledon.

Roger Federer took care of one Zverev brother, and the other one could be in his Wimbledon future.
The seven-time champion at the All England Club beat Mischa Zverev of Germany 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court. He will next face Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round.
If both Federer and Alexander Zverev win on Monday, they would meet in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Zverev will next play Milos Raonic, a Canadian who beat Federer in last year’s semifinals.
Federer has reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the 15th time. Another title next weekend will give him a record eighth at the All England Club.

Novak Djokovic returned to the fourth round at Wimbledon by beating Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (2).
The second-seeded Djokovic lost in the third round at the All England Club last year. On Monday, he will be making his 10th appearance in the final 16 of a tournament he has won three times.
Djokovic won nine consecutive games at one point - the final four of the first set and the first five of the next - and though he was unable to break Gulbis in the third set, he claimed the first three points of the tiebreaker and won the match on the Latvian’s forced error.
“I thought I raised the level of tennis,” Djokovic said in a television interview. “Comparing to the first couple of matches and the last couple of weeks, I think this was the most focused I was on the court.”
Djokovic, who won in Eastbourne last week, will next face Adrian Mannarino. He defeated Mannarino in the second round at Wimbledon a year ago.

Caroline Wozniacki advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the sixth time, coming back to beat Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2.
The fifth-seeded Wozniacki has never reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club - the only Grand Slam tournament in which she failed to advance to that stage.
She trailed 5-3 in the second set before winning the next two games. Kontaveit, ranked No. 38, broke Wozniacki in the next game for a 6-5 lead, but Wozniacki broke back and won the tiebreaker before controlling the third set.
“I felt she started to get just a little bit nervous at the end of the second set and I just went for it at that point,” Wozniacki said in a television interview.
Wozniacki will next face 24th-seeded CoCo Vandeweghe of the United States in the next round.

Neil Stubley, the head of courts and horticulture at the All England Club, says measurements taken throughout Wimbledon’s first week show the grass courts are as healthy as they have been in recent years.
A number of players have been concerned about the court condition over the opening week, including Kristina Mladenovic of France and Alison Riske of the United States, who each fell during their second-round match on Court 18 on Thursday.
Riske, who won the match, said afterward that the dirt “is like ice.”
“We looked at the baselines and the areas that they thought there was an issue,” Stubley said. “We didn’t feel there was. The Grand Slam supervisor and assistant referee didn’t believe that there was either.”

No. 1-ranked Angelique Kerber came back from a set and a break down to beat American Shelby Rogers 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the third round of Wimbledon.

This is the German left-hander’s fourth trip to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
It did not come easily. After dropping the opening set, Kerber trailed 3-1 in the second before turning things around.
Rogers had never been past the first round in two previous appearances at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

The No. 6-seeded Canadian described his performance as “pretty clean.”
He finished with more than twice as many winners, 55, as unforced errors, 26.

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are among the players whose Wimbledon third-round matches are scheduled to be completed before the tournament heads to its traditional break on the middle Sunday.

Mischa plays seven-time champion Federer on Centre Court on Saturday. Alexander faces Sebastian Ofner, a 21-year-old Austrian qualifier who is ranked only 217th.
