Six Matches Involving U.S. Women at Wimbledon, and Six Victories

WIMBLEDON, England — Six American women rampaged through the singles draw at Wimbledon on Wednesday, the most who could have won. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, which resembled a typical summer day in the United States, or maybe it was the beginning of a new wave of success. But the Americans looked right at home on the smooth grass of the All England Club.

The list of winners included Serena Williams and Venus Williams, sisters who inched closer to a fourth-round confrontation; Sloane Stephens; and Madison Keys, who finished off Stefanie Vögele in a match that was suspended on Tuesday because of darkness.
