London: Poland will send two men into the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time after 24th-seeded Jerzy Janowicz and 130th-ranked Lukasz Kubot each won five-set matches on Monday.
They'll play each other on Wednesday with the winner becoming the country's first Grand Slam semi-finalist.
The big-serving Janowicz reached as high as 137 mph while outlasting Jurgen Melzer 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, while Kubot defeated Adrian Mannarino 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
The last Polish man to make the quarterfinals at a major was Wojtek Fibak, who advanced that far at the last three Grand Slams in 1980.
