The round of 16 was completed in the mens' tournament, with a few minor upsets affecting the lineups
for the quarter finals. The big name to fall was second seed Andy Murray, ensuring the British Grand
Slam drought would continue as the Scot was no match for Croatia's Marin Cilic, going down in straight
sets.
Rafael Nadal suffered an early scare when he dropped the first set of his match against Gael Monfils, but
fought back to take the match in 4 sets. Fernando Gonzalez had a similar experience, going down in the
opening set against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before recovering to take the match in 4 sets. No such dramas
for Juan Martin Del Potro, who with an early break in each set took out a straight sets victory over Juan
Carlos Ferrero.
On the womens' side of the event, the quarter finals started, and Kim Clijsters' juggernaut gained even
more momentum as the comeback queen comprehensively outplayed Na Li to advance in straight sets.
Her semi final opponent will be Serena Williams, the highest remaining seed in the tournament having
little difficulty in shaking off the challenge from Italy's Flavia Pennetta.
