Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova needed just three games to close out her match that was suspended due to rain on Sunday.

Resuming on 6-2, 3-3 against Spain's Nuria Llagostera Vives, on a windswept Court Suzanne Lenglen, Sharapova reeled off the three games required to advance 6-2, 6-3.

"I guess it was good just to have a good night's sleep," the 18-year-old said.

"I think I've been playing a lot better in my last two rounds than I did in my first two," Sharapova said.

She will meet Justine Henin-Hardenne, who is on a remarkable comeback streak, in the quarter-finals.
