Ladies' Day at the All England Club sees four quarterfinal matches, none of which seems especially likely to produce a huge surprise. But there's a reason they play the games.
My preview and coverage throughout the day over at SBNation.com/tennis can be followed here.
1. Kim Clijsters (BEL) [8] vs Vera Zvonareva (RUS) [21]
2. Serena Williams (USA) [1] vs Na Li (CHN) [9]
COURT 1 - SHOW COURT - 1.00 PM START
1. Tsvetana Pironkova (BUL) vs Venus Williams (USA) [2]
2. Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs Kaia Kanepi (EST)

Go Clijsters!

Fun little rally there
This could be a good one!

Enjoyable first game
Upset potential ahoy.

Vera handles pressure very well
To avoid being being broken. I wonder if that will continue.

Vera looks like she
Is starting to lose it mentally, and become a bit frustrated.

And the first set goes to Clijsters
It looked to me like it was a case of Vera’s standard of play diminishing as the game wore on, rather than anything else.

Lol. I think Zvonareva beating Clijsters counts as one, and Pironkova over Venus surely does.
A much better day
Than I expected. Sadly, I’ll miss a lot of tomorrow.
Stupid job…
