Fourth-seed Angelique Kerber eased into the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a straight-sets win over Misaki Doi on Monday.

The French Open champion, who is yet to drop a set this year at Wimbledon, needed just over an hour to beat Doi 6-3 6-1.

Kerber reached the semi-finals at the All England Club in 2012 and also made the quarter-finals in 2014.

She will face Simona Halep in the last eight after the fifth seed fought back to win 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3 against Madison Keys.

Former finalist Agnieszka Radwanska was beaten by Dominika Cibulkova, losing a thrilling three-hour contest 6-3 5-7 9-7.
