BBC Online :
British ninth seed Cameron Norrie joined compatriot Heather Watson in securing a first Grand Slam fourth-round appearance with a dominant win over American Steve Johnson.
Norrie comfortably beat world number 93 Johnson 6-4, 6-1, 6-0 on Centre Court.
He sealed victory in style as an ace closed out a faultless final set.
Norrie will next face another player from the United States, Tommy Paul, after the 30th seed beat Czech player Jiri Vesely 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
World number 12 Norrie’s victory came just hours after Watson defeated Kaja Juvan to also reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam in singles for the first time.
“Today I was very, very relaxed,” said Norrie. “[It was] one of the bigger matches in my career obviously, to make the second week for the first time. I had a great opportunity today and I managed to play at the level that I wanted to.
“It’s a lot of fun being the British number one, playing on Centre Court, being in the spotlight, and playing to that level that I did today. I embraced it and really enjoyed it.”
