The No.7 seed was unable to back up the result, falling to 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard in a straight-sets quarter-final dismissal.
Former Junior Champion Bouchard is through to her first Wimbledon semi-final and her third in succession at a major with the 6-3, 6-4 victory and will meet Roland Garros finalist Simona Halep for a place in her first Grand Slam final. “I’m excited. She’s a very good player. I think she’s No.3 in the world. I want to go one step further,” Bouchard said of the showdown with Halep.
“It’s a normal kind of evolution of things, as the great champions get older the newer ones come in.” Halep and Bouchard are the only two players to have reached the quarter-finals or better at the three majors so far in 2014.
