London: Former finalist Tomas Berdych reached the last eight at Wimbledon after coming through a brutal five set tussle with Austrian Dominic Thiem on Monday.
Berdych, who lost to Rafael Nadal in the 2010 final, came through 6-3, 6-7 (1), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in a two-hour-and-52 minute encounter on Court Three against the world number eight.
The Czech, who reached the quarterfinals for the fifth time, will next face either three-time champion Novak Djokovic or Adrian Mannarino.
Berdych, who had only won one of his previous 10 matches against top 10 opposition, was celebrating after firing down his 15th ace.
