Wimbledon Day Seven: Federer and Williams ease through 'Manic Monday'

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After Manic Monday proved to not be as 'manic' as predicted, all eyes turn to the women's quarter-finals, where all the top seeds have been eliminated.

Karolina Pliskova was the final top-10 seed to be eliminated on Monday as she lost to Kiki Bertens in straight sets in one of the biggest shocks of the day.

That means the draw has opened up even more, with Serena Williams ominously creeping back to her best. The 25 seed faces Camila Giorgi second on Centre Court.

Andy Murray has confirmed that he intends to compete at the Washington Open after pulling out of Wimbledon on the eve of the Championships.

After an 11-month absence from the game, Murray made his return to the game at the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen’s Club last month. But after assessing his fitness ahead of Wimbledon, the former British No 1 deemed he was not ready for best-of-five-sets tennis.

Having spent the past fortnight training and working on his recovery, Murray now feels he'll be fit enough to compete at the Washington Open.

"My plan is to play in Washington, which starts three weeks yesterday," he said during a TV interview with the BBC. "So I will be here the next couple weeks practicing on hard courts then head to the states, maybe to Washington or Miami first for some practice before getting back to matches.

"There is always a chance you can re-injure yourself when you start competing again. I wasn't worried about re-injuring but if you put your body through the extreme schedule too quickly your body will react. I wanted to be in better shape before I put my body in that situation again."
