LONDON -- Canadian Eugenie Bouchard produced her career-best showing at Wimbledon on a wet Saturday with a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of German Andrea Petkovic to reach the fourth round of the Grand Slam tournament.

The 13th-seeded Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., started her match in the early afternoon but found herself in the locker-room 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 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 next plays Frenchwoman Alzie Cornet, who beat top seed and five-time champion Serena Williams for the second time this season, winning 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a stunning upset. Cornet won their previous meeting on clay at Strasbourg last year.

Men's eighth seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., joined Bouchard in the second week as he beat Poland's Lukasz Kubot in the third round 7-6 (2), 7-6(4), 6-2.

The Canadian fired over 30 aces and 50 winners, breaking twice with just six unforced errors.

Raonic became just the fourth Canadian -- man or woman -- in the post-1968 Open Era to reach the Round of 16 at Wimbledon after Carling Bassett-Seguso (1983, 1986), Patricia Hy-Boulais (1996-'97) and Daniel Nestor (1999).

Raonic has won three straight Wiimbledon grass matches for the first time, after doing the same at Halle, Germany, in 2011 and 2012.
