Carlos Alcaraz remains on course for a third consecutive Wimbledon crown after surviving a scare to set up a quarterfinal clash with Britain's Cameron Norrie.

The world No.2's title defence was creaking when, having overturned a 4-1 deficit, he dropped the opening set against Russian 14th seed Andrey Rublev on a tiebreak.

But a significant Centre Court upset was ultimately averted as Alcaraz extended his winning streak to 22 matches by coming through a tricky round-four contest 6-7 6-3 6-4 6-4.
