Serena Cruises Past Suarez Navarro, Reaches 13th Wimbledon Quarterfinal

WIMBLEDON, England — Even though she is short on matches this year, Serena Williams is still big on grass.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the 14th time, beating Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 6-2 on Monday.

Williams, who missed about a year of play while she had a baby in 2017 but returned to the tennis tour in 2018, before Wimbledon had not played since the third round of the French Open - skipping the grass-court warm-up tournaments.

''I definitely haven't had enough (matches),'' said Williams, who had been dealing with an injured left knee.
