LONDON: Marton Fucsovics became just the third Hungarian man and first in 73 years to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Monday.
The 29-year-old, ranked at 48 in the world, defeated Russian fifth seed Andrey Rublev 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 and now meets Novak Djokovic for a place in the semifinals.
Fucsovics blasted 41 winners past Rublev as he reached his first quarterfinal at the Slams.
He is only the third Hungarian man in history to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon after Bela von Kehrling (1929) and Jozsef Asboth (1948).
