Women's Singles

Agnieszka Radwanska (3) v Maria Kirilenko (17) 14:00 No. 1 Court
H-to-H 5-2
Radwanska had a brilliant start to the year, but recently seems to be playing from memory. At Wimbledon she has shown a return to form and hasn't yet dropped a set and only lost 16 games. Kirilenko has had a comparatively easy draw. She shows flashes of brilliance, but remains frustratingly inconsistent. She is yet to play someone of Radwanska's class at this tournament and so this is as far as she goes.
Selection: Radwanska

Serena Williams (6) v Petra Kvitova (4) 14:30 Centre Court
H-to-H 2-0
These two have met at Wimbledon before in 2010 when Williams won the semi-final in straight sets. That was the last time Kvitova lost here and she's been slowly playing here way back into form on grass. Both players have flattered to deceive at SW19 this year, but a good win against Schiavone in the last round will give Kvitova some confidence. Williams is not the all-conquering player she once was and has moments of total fallibility. She has lost sets in previous rounds against inferior players and only beat Zheng 9-7 in the third. At her best, it's no contest. And yet... Kvitova should take another step to retaining her title and gain her first win over Serena, the current tournament favourite.
Selection: Kvitova

Tamira Paszek v Victoria Azarenka (2) 16:00 No. 1 Court
H-to-H 0-2
Paszek enjoys Wimbledon and reaches another quarter-final. The only non-seed to make it through to the quarters, she is there on merit. Last year, Azarenka knocked her out at this stage and the Belarussian will be out for revenge. Unfortunately, Azarenka is having a fantastic year - after her dominance of the hard courts, she has adjusted that game effectively to the grass surface. Vika destroyed Ivanovic yesterday, no mean player herself, and looks in awesome form. Expect her to power past Paszek on towards another potential Grand Slam.
Selection: Azarenka

Sabine Lisicki (15) v Angelique Kerber (8) 16:30 Centre Court
H-to-H 0-2
This Teutonic battle is set to go all the way. Lisicki obviously likes grass, having reached the semi-final here last year and made surprisingly short work of the in-form favourite Sharapova in the fourth round. However she is up against Kerber, the runner-up at Eastbourne, who has already beaten her twice this year. Kerber had a good showing at the French Open, when she also made the quarter-final, and should go a stage further here. We went for Kerber against Clisters and there's no reason to desert her now.
Selection: Kerber


Men's Singles

Brian Baker v Philipp Kohschreiber (27) 11:30 Court 12
H-to-H 0-0
Kohlschreiber must have been the loudest cheerleader for Rosol's giant-slaying in the 2nd Round, and he made light work of the Czech player on Saturday. He's now up against another 'story' in the comeback Kid, Brian Baker. Having come through qualifying, Baker clearly enjoys the grass courts of SW19 and he's got the game to push Kohlschreiber. The seeded player is in for a battle against and could well be surprised by the American - Baker reached the boy's Quarter-Final back in 2003 and now has a great opportunity to do it in the Men's Singles.
Selection: Baker

David Ferrer (7) v Juan Martin Del Potro (9) 12:00 Centre Court
H-to-H 3-2
Ferrer's performances on grass this year have defied his tag as a clay court specialist. The title in 's-Hertogenbosch has clearly given him confidence and he disposed of the experienced Roddick in four sets in the previous round. Neither player has passed the fourth round at Wimbledon in the past and, although Ferrer won the previous grass court meeting, it will be the Argentine who makes the Quarter-Finals. Del Potro had a good workout against Robin Haase on No. 2 Court in Round one, since when his lack of grass court preparation has been barely noticeable. Both play high energy tennis, but the hard-hitting Argentine should have enough in the locker to win a game that could well go the distance.
Selection: Del Potro
