Manic Monday at Wimbledon. Federer and Williams are through, all ten top seeds in the women's half are out, Nadal is rolling, Djokovic is showing some good form.

@engineer,
It's actually the first time in the "Open Era" (50 years) that none of the top ten seed in the ladies competition reached the quarters in any Grand Slam event.

@Walter Hinteler,
Really surprised to see Halep drop, but I give to Hsieh, that was a great match and Hsieh was really able to expose Halep's lack of angles.

@engineer,
Angelique Kerber (the highest-ranked seed left in the women's competition), beats Daria Kasatkina to reach semi-finals - a really good match by both!

Federer is gone after being up by two sets, Nadal serving for the fourth after losing two of the first three.

@engineer,
Nadal completes the comeback, will face Djokovic in a semi that will feel like a final. Anderson vs Isner on the other side seems like the consolation round.

@engineer,
For all the heartburn about the upsets to the seeds on the women's side, we have Kerber-Williams in the final (a rematch of the 2016 final), two experienced slam winners both playing extremely well.

@engineer,
Isner did "the endless match" in 2010.

@Walter Hinteler,
Isner is just trying to break the record for the number of aces in a tournament. He already holds the one set and one match record for that last marathon. He's got almost 50 aces in this match so far, needed 80 to break the record.

He did 113 aces in that 2010 match

@Walter Hinteler,
Yes, then he lost in the next round. The overall record for the tournament is somewhere just over 200.

@engineer,
All props to Anderson, but Isner is terrible at returning.

@Walter Hinteler,
Ace record is safe for this year. I think Isner tied it but failed to break it at 213. Anderson played the better match. Are they really going to start Nadal/Djokovic this late at night?

They started late that night and had to finish the next day.

It was a cruel joke, and in the end, the Djoke was on Nadal.

And Serena lost to Kerber.

@vonny,
I saw that coming. Everyone was all "Serena is back!" and I'm a big fan, but she had a really rough pregnancy and she sailed through the draw, but it was a pretty easy draw. Kerber is a former number one, now three time slam winner and has been really on form. I don't see this as the surprise some are making it out to be.
