Germany&rsquo;s Tatjana Maria saved two match points to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Wimbledon-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Wimbledon</a> on Sunday.
The 34-year-old mother-of-two defeated former French Open champion <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Ostapenko-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Jelena Ostapenko</a> 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 after battling back from 1-4 down in the second set.&nbsp;
Maria, ranked 103, fired nine aces and exploited Ostapenko&rsquo;s all-or-nothing approach which resulted in 52 winners and 57 unforced errors for the Latvian. Maria made her Wimbledon debut back in 2007, but had never previously got beyond the third round of a Grand Slam.
