\"\"Germany\u2019s Angelique Kerber<\/a> who is ranked number one on the WTA entered Wimbledon 2017 as the favourite and was expected to go all the way, especially because Serena Williams<\/strong> wasn\u2019t playing since she is busy having a baby. <\/p>\n

Kerber faced Garbine Muguruza<\/strong> on Monday and started well winning the first set 4-6<\/em> but Muguruza bounced back to take the next two sets 6-4, 6-4<\/em> and in the process knocked Kerber out.<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal<\/strong> hasn\u2019t made it to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon since 2011 but after winning the 2017 French Open<\/a>, fans were once again backing Nadal to do well at Wimbledon. The 4th seeded Nadal took on Gilles Muller<\/strong> who was seeded 16th and the crowd was treated to one of the most entertaining matches of the 2017 edition.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be an epic five setter and in the end it was Muller who was able to steal a stunning victory over Nadal. The final scoreline read 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 15-13<\/em> and will now see Muller take on the 7th seeded Marin \u010cili\u0107<\/strong> in the quarter-final. Nadal\u2019s game does not really favour the grass courts at Wimbledon but his grit and heart has what has made him popular at Wimbledon for all these years.<\/p>\n
