Wimbledon 2021: Order of play for day eight as Ashleigh Barty heads into women’s quarter-finals as favourite

07/06/2021

The women’s quarter-finals take place at Wimbledon on Tuesday with just two former grand slam champions left in the singles draw.

Ashleigh Barty, the world No 1 and 2019 French Open champion, defeated Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets to secure her place in the last eight and is now the favourite to lift the title on Saturday. First, she will have to get through fellow Australian Ajla Tomljanovic, though, who ended Emma Raducanu’s remarkable run to the fourth round.

The other remaining grand slam winner is Angelique Kerber, the 2018 Wimbledon champion, who defeated Coco Gauff in impressive fashion in the fourth round. The German has not dropped a set since losing a tiebreak in her opening match and will face Karolina Muchova on Court One. Muchova reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open earlier this year, when she defeated Barty, and will provide Kerber’s toughest test yet.

Former world No 1 Karolina Pliskova has reached the last eight at Wimbledon for the first time in her career as she attempts to finally break her duck at the grand slams. She faces Viktorija Golubic, who was unseeded in the draw and had never previously made it past the second round at Wimbledon.

The last quarter-final sees Ons Jabeur face Aryna Sabalenka. Jabeur produced a stunning performance to defeat Garbine Muguruza in the third round and rallied from a set down to emphatically defeat Iga Swiatek on Monday. Sabalenka, whose powerful game suits the grass very well, has made it to the quarter-finals for the first time in her career despite already being ranked No 4 in the world.
