Robson awaits Moore but Dean's impressive run comes to an end

The 17-year-old defeated Nigina Abduraimova of Uzbekistan 6-1 6-3, while Robson – girls' champion in 2008 – overcame a strong challenge from An-Sophie Mestach to triumph 6-4 7-6.

Eleanor Dean's impressive maiden run in the Wimbledon girls singles, however, finally came to an end yesterday.

The 14-year-old from Yorkshire had already claimed the scalp of a seeded player in her two wins in the competition, before falling in straight sets to Czech Kristyna Pliskova on Court Five.

Pliskova, who is four years Dean's senior and is seeded ninth in the girls' draw, won 6-0 6-2 in 39 minutes.

Dean said: "I didn't execute my game today as well as I could have. She played a good game.

"I had my chances but I've had a really great week overall. I've learned so much, so next time I can come out and hopefully do better."

Dean marked her Wimbledon debut on Sunday with a stunning victory over Gabriela Dabrowski of Canada, 3-6 6-0

6-0.

Oliver Golding provided significant hope for the future of British tennis by beating the top seed to reach the quarter-finals of the boys' singles.

The 16-year-old Londoner showed both physical and mental strength in a 4-6 6-3 7-5 victory over Australian world No 1 Jason Kubler to provide the Lawn Tennis Association with some much-needed good news.

After losing the opening set, Golding got the better of three successive breaks in the second before holding his nerve when serving second in the decider.

At 5-5 he took advantage of a lucky net cord to claim the decisive break, and he was nerveless in serving out the victory to love.

"It's a great feeling," said Golding. "Obviously there was so much relief at the end, I was so desperate to serve it out well and I did. It's hard to put into words really, I'm over the moon.

"In the first set I didn't play a horrendous set, I played one sloppy game on my serve, which I was a little bit disappointed about, because I was serving great all week. But I knew if I carried on holding serve, the better I'm serving, he's thinking, 'If I get broken, he's going to serve out the set'."

Golding will take on Argentinian ninth seed Renzo Olivo in the quarter-finals, and he already has his sights set on becoming the first British winner of the title since Stanley Matthews – son of the legendary footballer – in 1962.

He said: "Winning the whole thing is possible. He's No 1 in the world, the top seed, so if I can beat him, I can beat anyone."

Although the 16-year-old's tennis career is very much at a fledgling stage, he can already boast significant success as a child actor, appearing on stage and screen. "I always preferred tennis over the acting," he said.

"I'm more a sporty person. I love playing in front of a crowd, the bigger the better. In the second round it was bigger than today. It's great having that home support, you've got them always behind you."

Another British player bowed out as James Marsalek lost 3-6 2-6 to Hungarian 13th seed Marton Fucsovics.
