WIMBLEDON, England– For nearly an hour on Monday, No. 1 Court was rocking as Emma Raducanu, an 18-year-old from Britain, continued to make the most of her Wimbledon debut.She was holding her own from the standard against Ajla Tomljanovic, a hard-hitting Australian veteran who is 10 years her senior. Next year, that tradition will end, and Wimbledon will become a 14-day competition, like the U.S. Open and the Australian Open.But Wimbledon, with its yard courts and its guideline about mainly white clothes, will stay a Grand Slam tournament apart.Of this years ladiess quarterfinalists, only Kerber has won a Wimbledon songs title, having beat Serena Williams in the 2018 last with an inspired performance. Barty defeated Barbora Krejcikova, 7-5, 6-3, on Monday to reach her first Wimbledon singles quarterfinal.Krejcikova, a surprise French Open champion last month, had actually won 15 straight songs matches. Barty held company, doing consistent damage with her own serve and forehand.After retiring in the 2nd round of the French Open with a left hip injury, Barty did not play once again up until Wimbledon, but she has rebounded convincingly and she is skipping doubles here to put all her energy into songs. In the very first 3 Grand Slam tournaments of 2021, a total of 22 women have actually reached the quarterfinals, with only Barty and Muchova handling to go that far twice.Because Naomi Osaka won the Australian Open and Krejcikova won in Paris, a different 2021 champion is guaranteed for Wimbledon, as is a first-time Wimbledon singles finalist from the bottom half of the draw.In the quarterfinals in that half, No. 8 Karolina Pliskova will deal with the unseeded Golubic, and the No. 2 seed Sabalenka will play Jabeur, who is seeded 21st.
