Serena Williams, the number one seed and the Ladies' Singles defending champion, played Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round.
Serena struggled a bit in the first set, having her serve broken and slipping at falling. This may have been down to the weather conditions.
At five games all in the first set, play was suspended and the roof was shut. When Serena came back it was a completely different match. Kuznetsova didn't win another game, and Serena won the match 7-5/6-0.
Now for Andy Murray and Nick Krygios.

I didn't see the match but I saw the result. I didn't know exactly when play was suspended so it's interesting what a big turnaround it caused. I'll try to catch some of the Murray-Kyrgios match, but I doubt I'll have time to watch it all.

@egdcltd Well I guess John McEnroe should know.
I didn't actually find time to sit down and watch but I checked on the score every now and then. If the match had been close I suppose I'm have left something else until later. Anyway hopefully there will be better matches to watch.

@egdcltd That's correct. According to the report I saw Venus is the oldest woman to reach the quarter final in 22 years.
Venus Williams became the oldest Wimbledon women's quarter-finalist for 22 years as the five-time champion defeated Spanish 12th seed Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 on Monday. Aged 36, Williams is the oldest to make the last eight since 37-year-old Ma

I watched until they shut the roof.
Looks like the suspension of play worked out for Serena
I watched a documentary on her last night that was pretty good.
