World 13th ranked Eugenie Bouchard will face Alize Cornet in the fourth round at Wimbledon after she won a 6-3, 6-4, straight sets victory over the 20th ranked Andrea Petkovic Saturday.
The match began in the early afternoon but was delayed for nearly five hours after 15 minutes of play as rain wrecked the schedule.
But the weather cleared up in the early evening with Bouchard and Petkovic returning to the court with the Canadian leading 2-1.
Bouchard picked up where she left off, putting the pressure on a player who had defeated her in three previous meetings including the Rogers Cup in Toronto three years ago.
Bouchard took the victory on her third match point when Petkovic hit the net with a return.
Bouchard produced 30 winners and 14 unforced errors, breaking five time in the match lasting less than 90 minutes.
She looked likely to lock horns with five time champ Serena Williams but that script was rewrriten when Cornet beat the American Saturday.
Men's eighth seed Milos Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., was hoping to join Bouchard in the second week as he faced Poland's Lukasz Kubot in the third round but his match was delayed by rain.
