Day 5 Reaction

Although Watson deserves credit for playing a solid match to challenge the most dominant player in tennis right now, Williams was her own worst enemy Friday. She finished the match with 33 unforced errors and endured some serious dips in overall form.

Yet, as has so often been the case since the start of the French Open, she found a way to win anyway. The 20-time major champion came up with some clutch shots when they were needed most and kept her hopes of a calendar Grand Slam alive for another day.

It's always difficult to project what will happen when the Williams sisters face off. Rarely do they play their best tennis against easy other. Wimbledon noted the younger sibling is impressed with the state of her sister's game.

"Venus is in better form than I am," Serena said. "She has a little bit of an advantage, but at least one of us will be in the quarter-final."

Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated provided the details of their prior encounters:

Interestingly, Sharapova hasn't generated nearly as much hype as usual during the early stages of the tournament. Perhaps it's in part because she hasn't won this event since capturing her first Grand Slam title all the way back in 2004.

She's breezed through the first three rounds without dropping a set, though. That's established her as a legitimate threat to win the title. Friday's victory also allowed her to extend an impressive streak, per Chris Skelton of Tennis View Magazine:

Victoria Azarenka is another player showcasing a high level of play in the early going. The two-time Australian Open champion has never reached a final at the All England Club, but her power game is certainly built for the grass.

She's also feeling upbeat about her game, per Live Tennis:

One other noteworthy result was Coco Vandeweghe dropping just two games en route to knocking out No. 22 seed Samantha Stosur. It was a statement win for the 23-year-old American.

On the men's side, Djokovic continued his trend of knocking out tricky opponents without breaking much of a sweat. He's now eliminated Philipp Kohlschreiber, Jarkko Nieminen and Tomic without dropping a set or even needing a tiebreak, which is a terrific feat.

He's also an overwhelming favorite to reach the final, with Roger Federer and Andy Murray both on the other half of the draw. Gary Lineker of BT Sport applauded his play so far:

Wawrinka, who stunned Djokovic in the French Open final, stayed on track to meet the No. 1 seed again in the Wimbledon semifinals with a comprehensive takedown of Verdasco. He still flies below the radar compared to the Big Four, but he's a consistent contender.

SI Tennis highlighted his ability to keep playing at a high level:

Nick Kyrgios and Milos Raonic faced off in perhaps the most anticipated match on the men's side. Two of the most promising, powerful young players on the men's side played four tight sets, but it was the Aussie who came out on top.

Brad Gilbert of ESPN noted it doesn't get any easier from here, though:

Looking ahead to Day 6, Centre Court is the place to be, with Federer, Murray and reigning women's champion Petra Kvitova all in action. They are all heavy favorites to advance, but as Williams' match Friday showed, don't be surprised if there's some drama.

Other notable Saturday matches include a battle of Frenchmen in Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga taking on Ivo Karlovic in a clash of big hitters and Caroline Wozniacki facing a tricky test against Camila Giorgi.

The players will then take Sunday off before returning to action Monday.
