LONDON (Reuters) - Round-up of day six at the Wimbledon championships on Saturday:
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The key was that I was fighting, and I was never giving up ... doesn't matter what the score was. Without this (fight) I don't know if I would be in the next round right now." - Top seed Angelique Kerber, after a comeback victory over American Shelby Rogers 4-6 7-6(2) 6-4 to reach the fourth round. World number one Kerber is hoping to become the first German to win the Wimbledon title since Steffi Graf in 1996.

STATISTIC OF THE DAY: Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer's straight sets victory over Mischa Zverev was his 317th grand slam singles match win, an all-time record, surpassing Serena Williams (316).
PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY: Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki came within two points of defeat against unseeded Estonian Anett Kontaveit before recovering to win 3-6 7-6(3) 6-2 in the third round.
