"I just wanted to win one match" - Niemeier after securing Wimbledon quarterfinal

In just her second Grand Slam main draw, the 22-year-old German Jule Niemeier in through to her first major quarterfinal.

The World No.97 lost in the last round of qualifying at Wimbledon 12 months ago and didn't make her major debut until last month at Roland Garros. What she's done so far this fortnight, from upsetting No.2 seed Anett Kontaveit in Round 2 to now, is a feat not lost on her.

She said:

"I came here, I just wanted to win my first round after losing in Paris. Now, being in the quarterfinal in Wimbledon, I don't know, I'm speechless. It just feels not real. I'm just so happy. ... It has been a great journey so far. I'm looking forward to the next match."

In her Centre Court debut, the German showed no signs of nerves. She won five games in a row to win the first set and won six of the last eight from 2-0 down in the second set.
