Anderson keeps on winning

Kevin Anderson has never made it to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

But if the former Illini standout keeps playing next week the way he did on the grass courts during the opening week of the Grand Slam in London, watch out.

The eighth-seeded Anderson defeated No. 25 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 on Friday after losing just eight of 61 points on his first serve.

The third-round win comes a day after Anderson finished off Andreas Seppi in four sets on Thursday, the only match where Anderson has dropped a set during his stay at Wimbledon this year.
