A match I am really looking forward to watching is Jabeur v Andresscu, this will be their first meeting on grass, Ons did defeat Bianca in their only match on a HC in Montreal in 2021. Both players have great slices, and ground shots, both on their fhands and bhands, though Ons is ranked at No 6, Bianca at ranked No 50,
Bianca has suffered injuries, even as a junior, and as a senior, had to take time off the tour, Ons this year has also suffered injuries, when Bianca's game is 'on' she can be unbeatable, though of late those days are few and far between sad to say, Ons and grass just click, she was a finalist last year.I am leaning towards Ons to win this match

Other interesting match ups,
B.Haddad Maia (13) vs Sorana Cirstea
M.Keys (25) vs M.Kostyuk

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good win for Bea Haddad Maia, who has had her injury concerns coming into Wimbledon, 62 62 over Cirstea to book her first ever ticket to the final 16

Kvitova 6-4, 7-5 over Kostic.

Good Kvitova wrapped this up, that last service game got very tight & letting your opponent escape MP’s wrecks havoc in your head.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great on court interview with Petra Kvitova on court 2, this is her 7th Wimbledon R4 win
Petra on grass is always a pleasure to watch

Kvitova 6-4, 7-5 over Kostic.

Good Kvitova wrapped this up, that last service game got very tight & letting your opponent escape MP’s wrecks havoc in your head.

I saw a bit of it. She won on at least her 3rd MP, I believe, but saved several BPs too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Petra will play the winner of Andreescu - Jabeur wont be easy

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka (2) vs Blinkova started on court 1
After yesterday, I am 'muting' all Saba's matches from now on, my ears cant take it anymore
Saba 1st set 62, Blinkova hasnt the weapons to upset the No 2 seed
Okay truning in to the 2nd set of this match Saba leading 5-2
Saba will now serve for the match 5-3
Saba wins 62 63, Saba needs to get out on the practice court=, her serve was up and down in this match

 

[kskate2]

Bebe wins the opener 6-3
Keys wins 1st set over Kostyuk

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bebe wins the opener 6-3
Keys wins 1st set over Kostyuk

Bibi playing well good to see

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 sets in the match between Bibi and Ons, Ons winning the 2nd set 63

 

[kskate2]

Ons is the superior grass player, but she is getting outplayed by Bebe. She better remember who she is quickly or she's going home.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play on all the outside courts have been cancelled for the day
Players warming up on CC as the roof has now been closed
3 games all 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Forget to post this result earlier,

Madison Keys (25) d M. Koostyuk 64 61 reaches the 2nd week of a slam for the 18th time, well done Maddy!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ons Jabeur will serve for the match after Bianca Andreescu pretty much breaking herself at 4-4
Ons Jabeur comes back from 1-3 in the 3rd set to defeat Andreescu 36 63 64, will play Kvitova next

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina Rybakina and Katie Boulter just started their match on CC
Elina 1st set 61 with ease over Boulter, Elina just has such easy power off the ground and is great to watch ( I am also watching my Italian Matteo at the same time)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Defending champion, Rybakina, looking good in 58 mins defeating Boutler 61 61, winning her 10th consecutive Wimbledon match, and reaching the last 16

BTW Elina is now the first defending champion to reach the 4rh rd of Wimbledon since Serena Williams ( Serena did it in 2016)

when will this girl learn. This isn't the 70's, you cannot play 3 events and expect to go deep in all 3 or expect your body to hold up

Makes me wonder if Pegula will withdraw from the doubles with Coco?
I see that Jess/Coco will play their doubles match tomorrow, Jess is also playing Tsurenko in singles
