Day 7 Recap

Five of the top six men's seeds took the grass courts of Wimbledon, and at least one of them will be heading home earlier than expected after falling in the fourth round.

No. 6 Tomas Berdych came out flat against 12th-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon, who disposed of the powerful Berdych easily in straight sets. Making matters worse for Berdych was when he had an exchange with a reporter who thought he'd won afterward, per Deadspin:

Simon will move on to face Federer, who needed just an hour and 25 minutes to progress into the quarterfinals. The seven-time Wimbledon champion lost just three of 38 first-serve points and took 46 percent of such rallies off his outmatched foe, Roberto Bautista Agut.

Wimbledon's official Twitter account illustrated how dominant Federer has been in his service games of late:

Novak Djokovic figured to be the favorite until he hit an obstruction Monday against the towering, hard-serving Kevin Anderson. The first two sets went to Anderson in tiebreakers before Djokovic bounced back. Darkness cut the epic match short before the decider.

It was easy to tell The Serbinator was pumped up after defeating Anderson 6-4 in the fourth, as he ignited the crowd with an impassioned reaction.

Although most may fancy Djokovic's chances to pull this one out with time to rest, Chris Skelton of Tennis View Magazine raised an interesting statistical anecdote:

The home fans' great hope in Andy Murray continued as he impressed, showing grit amid a 9-7 first-set tiebreaker and recovering from a dropped third set against Ivo Karlovic to progress into the final eight.

It certainly wasn't easy for Murray, whose fitness came in handy against his prolific counterpart. Karlovic continued a blistering serving display with 29 aces. Even in victory, Murray acknowledged how tough Monday was:

Awaiting Murray will be Vasek Pospisil. The Canadian showed similar fortitude to Murray in coming back from two sets down to stun 22nd-seeded Viktor Troicki.

As for the women's side of this major tournament, Serena Williams took care of business 6-4, 6-3 against her sister, Venus.

The outcome was widely expected, yet Serena Williams needed an emphatic outing to prove she was over a close call against Heather Watson in the third round. She accomplished just that to advance with ease.

ESPN Stats & Info noted how Monday's result bodes well for Williams the rest of they way:

Maria Sharapova was another notable name to continue her Wimbledon run, but other top seeds in No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki and sixth-seeded Lucie Safarova weren't so lucky.

Wozniacki won just 33 percent of her second serves in falling to Garbine Muguruza. Safarova came close but couldn't overcome her hard-serving American opponent, Coco Vandeweghe, in two tiebreakers. Vandeweghe smashed nine aces and saved seven of nine break points in extending her career-best Grand Slam event run.

Serving tends to be a struggle for Sharapova at times, so she figures to have her hands full with a quarterfinals opponent in Vandeweghe who can generate plenty of pace on serve and on her groundstrokes.

It was a huge day for women's American tennis at Wimbledon when Williams joined Madison Keys—winner of a three-set battle with Olga Govortsova—and Vandeweghe in the quarterfinals, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Those hoping for a Murray-Federer clash in the semifinals likely had their hopes enhanced with Simon's slight upset and Pospisil facing a fit player in Murray after going the distance in his prior match.

Magnificent as the semis would be with Murray and Federer squaring off, Stan Wawrinka was the last man to win a major title at the French Open and continues to roll along at Wimbledon without a dropped set.

The big storyline to watch for the women is obviously Williams as she continues her pursuit of the calendar Grand Slam. Already arguably the best female tennis player of all time, Williams would bolster the notion by holding all four majors in one year.
