Ashleigh Barty too good for Britain's Harriet Dart

I played a good quality of tennis.

Mixing mesmerising slices with exquisite drop shots, explosive forehand winners and 11 aces, Australia's relentless top seed wasted minimal energy or time in setting up a last-16 date on Monday with the unseeded Riske.

"I think for me sometimes I look at a shot, I play a shot, I think the seaweed is always greener in someone else's lake", she said as everyone in the interview room laughed.

Williams reached the fourth round for the 16th time and goes on to face Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro for a place in the quarter-finals. "I'm definitely proving that my tennis is right up there with the level".

She was in high spirits in her post-match press conference, telling reporters it was a privilege to be able to strut her stuff on one of the best tennis courts in the world. "I played a great match from the beginning to the end".

"The records mean something to me, but not everything just because I am very much aware that not everybody for the last hundred years played all the Slams", admitted the 20-time major victor of his 350-win landmark. It's just a usual match win for Roger Federer as he considered the amateur tour legends did not have much access to participate in the major tournament and hence the couldn't reach the peak which he grasped a few moments ago. Couldn't be on a court for longer than an hour and a half.

Amber Portwood’s Ex Gary Shirley Speaks Out After Her Arrest
She has 2 kids - 1-year-old James , whose father is Andrew, and 10-year-old Leah , whose father is her ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley . Amber Portwood opened up about experiencing severe postpartum depression , during the December 17 episode of Teen Mom OG .

A bold service game from Dart took the set into a tie-break and she claimed it impressively.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams continued her campaign for an eighth Wimbledon title after the 37-year-old American bested Germany's Julia Goerges 6-3, 6-4 to enter the fourth round at Wimbledon. "I love to move on the grass, it comes very naturally to me so for me to win today was great ... it's been wonderful".

The only remaining British man in singles contention was Dan Evans, playing not the expected Marin Cilic but Joao Sousa, a man ranked just eight places below his own of 61, in a first-time meeting.

It will be Federer's 17th appearance in the fourth round at Wimbledon, taking him ahead of Jimmy Connors on the all-time list. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will also play in the third round. He got a quick break in the second, too, but Sousa broke back, and broke again to level, 6-4.

Federer, who became the first player in history to earn 350 Major singles wins, will next play No17 seed Matteo Berrettini, while Nadal will now play Sousa-the first Portuguese player, man or woman, to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon.
