Wimbledon 2018 LIVE: Serena Williams back in action on women's quarter-finals day, latest updates, scores, schedule

After Manic Monday proved to not be as 'manic' as predicted, all eyes turn to the women's quarter-finals, where all the top seeds have been eliminated.

Karolina Pliskova was the final top-10 seed to be eliminated on Monday as she lost to Kiki Bertens in straight sets in one of the biggest shocks of the day.

That means the draw has opened up even more, with Serena Williams ominously creeping back to her best. The 25 seed faces Camila Giorgi second on Centre Court.
