Martina Navratilova believes that "the seas have separated" for another busy day at the championships. Serena Williams. Despite the shocks elsewhere in this tournament, it takes a leap of faith to believe that the world number 52, Camila Giorgi, will be the player to stop the charge of the American. Italian Giorgi has never lasted so long at Wimbledon, but her only WTA tour title came on grbad in Rosmalen three years ago, so she has a pedigree on the surface. Williams, who is a seven-time Wimbledon champion, has more and, unless she runs out of gas in her second grand slam since she's a mother, she is expected to clinch a semifinal spot without much drama.
Will the player who came to Wimbledon to complain about her treatment by the seeded committee end up reigning over the All England Club on Saturday? Dominika Cibulkova has played as well as anybody up to here, has not yet dropped a game, and the former Australian Open finalist will surely provide a stiff opposition for the 12th seed Jelena Ostapenko. This is a third quarterfinal of Wimbledon for the Slovak Cibulkova and the Russians Sharapova and Elena Vesnina have already blocked his way. A controversy over the rules undermined her fourth round win against Hsieh Su-wei, but if she can put it aside, she could be the lucky third in the eighth stage for Johanna Konta's second round.

Jamie Murray is once again the proud first family of British tennis, and a first double men's title Wimbledon could be on the cards after he and Bruno Soares swept the quarterfinals. They are the highest pair stayed and playing that way too. Andy Murray said that he does not like to watch his big brother in action, but, given that the former world number one singles is expected to arrive on the spot over the next two days, he will bring surely his support.
