It is also the only Grand Slam tournament of the half-century professional era with zero top-10 seeds in the eight women's finals.

"I do not think it happened to that extreme, but I have never been ranked where I am," said Williams on Monday after his fourth straight win of the fortnight. "Usually, I'm one of those few seeds that are fighting again and again in the tournament, now that I'm not, it's coming."

Bidding for an eighth championship at the All England Club, Williams will be back on the field on Tuesday, but she is ranked only 25th, which represents a big increase As she keeps reminding people, it's only her fourth tournament since she's lost more d & rsquo; One year of action because she was pregnant and she gave birth to a girl last September.

I arrive at the place where I want to be, "said Williams." For me, there are so many things I want to do to get back to where I was and hopefully -It, go beyond. "

That might sound a little scary for the opponents.The 36-year-old American, who has spent more than 300 weeks ranked No. 1, looks gorgeous up to Williams' final match took only 62 minutes and was not really a contest, a 6-2, 6-2 win in which she compiled a 30-5 lead in the winners against Evgeniya Rodina, a qualified Russian ranked 120th who was dealing with "

The Williams coup serves up to 118 mph, delivering 10 aces, including four in a game.

" It's the speed and placement, Rodina said about what makes Williams' service so effective. "It's 115, and it puts the ball near the line."

The only time Williams lost a service match, reducing her lead in the second set to 3-2, she broke to love to start a match of three

Williams has not yet clashed with seeded, and on Tuesday neither will she face Camila Giorgi, of Italy, ranked 52nd.

Asked what she likes the most Williams plays, Giorgi replied, "I'm not tennis."

Here's a hint, Camila: Williams is now only three wins from a 24th Grand Slam, which would add to her own professional record and Margaret Margaret's equal mark of all time of the court. Consider also that the other 15 women in the fourth round action Monday possess a combined three major trophies: Angelique Kerber has two, Jelena Ostapenko the other.

Tuesday, No. 11 Kerber will play No. 14 Daria Kasatkina, and No. 12 Ostapenko will face Dominika Cibulkova, runner-up of the 2014 Australian Open

No. 7 The waiting of Karolina Pliskova for a major title will continue. She was the only woman to win the Women's Top 10 in this upset tournament, and now she's gone. Pliskova was beaten 6-3, 7-6 (1) by number 20 Kiki Bertens, who eliminated Williams' sister, Venus, last week.

Bertens now faces Julia Goerges # 13, who beat Donna Vekic 6-3 6-2

"I did not expect it, honestly," said Goerges, who lost to first round at the All England Club in the last five years.

Giorgi, Kasatkina, Bertens and Goerges will each make their debut in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. This is the first time that he qualifies for the eight finals of Giorgi and Goerges

Pliskova was asked why there had been so many surprises.

And she was not in the mood to provide an answer.

"I do not want to talk about it anymore." I answered that question, like, 10 times, "said the 2016 US runner-up." I do not know why all the seeds are gone. "[19659021] Do not miss the latest news and information.
