The Czech beat Caroline Garcia 7-5, 6-2 and thus reached a quarter-finals in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.
So far, the 23-year-old had stopped in the second round at the latest.
Garcia was the more aggressive player, but Bouzkova kept unleashing strong counterattacks - including early in the second set when Garcia sent her all over the court but Bouzkova scored with a fantastic backhand online winner.
In the end, the most important thing was the error statistics: Garcia made 25 mistakes without need, Bouzkova only 4.
Bouzkova is now waiting for the winner of the game between third-placed Ons Jabeur and Kerber conqueror Elise Mertens.
