London: Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova is due to marry on Saturday but the bride-to-be may have pressing business at Wimbledon instead after reaching the quarter-finals.

Fiance Miso Navara, was prominent at courtside to see Cibulkova beat third seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3 5-7 9-7 in a three-hour thriller yesterday. The 27-year-old stands just two wins away from the Saturday final.

Cibulkova will face an unseeded player in her next match on Tuesday. Cibulkova and Navara have been engaged for four years and are due to tie the knot in her home city on July 9, taking the calculated gamble she would not be in the Wimbledon final.
