Ashleigh Barty beats Barbora Krejcikova to set up first Wimbledon quarter-final

World No 1 recovers from 4-2 down in first set to win 7-5, 6-3
Karolina Muchova to face Angelique Kerber in last eight

There is something so simple and reassuring about the way Ashleigh Barty goes about her business. The Australian is the favourite for the Wimbledon title, the world No 1 and, in theory, under more pressure than anyone else remaining in the draw. But every time she has found herself in a hole at this year’s tournament she has been able to dig herself out.

With her every move being followed closely back home, Barty carries the hopes of a nation 50 years after Evonne Goolagong Cawley, her friend and mentor, won her first Wimbledon title. It is an anniversary she is celebrating by wearing a scallop dress, which she checked first was OK with Goolagong Cawley.
