Johanna Konta has been backed to become the first British woman to reach a grand slam quarter-final since 1984, by the record's current holder Jo Durie.
The British number one, 24, will be one win away from the feat if she beats Czech world number 66 Denisa Allertova on Saturday in round three.
"It's about time someone got to a quarter-final of a slam," Durie said.
Scotland's Andy Murray is also in third-round action, playing Portugal's 32nd seed Joao Sousa.
