4 Jul 2016

The German fourth seed won 6-3, 6-1 on Court Two in a one-sided, 64-minute contest against the world number 49.

Kerber faces either fifth seed Simona Halep of Romania or US ninth seed Madison Keys in Tuesday's quarter-finals.

Doi was the first Japanese woman to reach the last 16 of any Grand Slam event since Ai Sugiyama made the Wimbledon fourth round in 2006.
