Some of the big names in British politics have sent us their views on Andy's victory over Gasquet, not to mention their best wishes for the next round.

Here you go:

Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond:

"Congratulations to Andy for a sensational victory. That has to be one of the most enthralling matches ever played at Wimbledon.

"To reach the quarter finals for the first time in a major tournament is a fantastic achievement for Andy and I wish him all the best for the next round."

Minister for Sport, Gerry Sutcliffe:

"Good luck in the game today Andy. The incredible comeback against Richard Gasquet was a real thriller and shows you're a fighter who never gives up.

"You'll need the same spirit and determination in what is sure to be an even tougher match against Rafael Nadal. One things for sure, I'll be joining the rest of Britain cheering you on."
