The towering grass court form of former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber looks to be getting taller.
After seeing off the challenge of talented youngster Cori Gauff in the fourth round, Kerber looks to make it back to the semi-finals at SW19.
She faces up to Karolina Muchova, who has been quietly and efficiently moving through the draw, for a place in the final four.

Karolina Muchova Preview – Can Czech youngster topple former champ?
Karolina Muchova will be targeting her first win over Angelique Kerber and what a time to get it if she can.
The Czech player has met Kerber twice before and has lost both meetings.
Those were both back in 2019.
In Wimbledon tennis betting, Muchova is a quote of 11/10 in the match outright*(odds taken 20:39 GMT on July 5th 2021).
Can she turn the tables on the German?
This is the second time in the main draw of Wimbledon for Muchova, who made the quarter finals on her 2019 debut.
Earlier this year the 24-year-old made a surprise run to the final four of the Australian Open.
There was a good follow up in reaching the fourth round of the French Open as well in this campaign.
So the Grand Slam stature of Muchova is growing.
The Wimbledon 2021 draw has been fairly kind to her in the grand scheme of things.
She did claim a good win over recent French Open finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the Round of 32.
It was then a fairly routine Round of 16 success against Paula Badosa to set up this clash with Kerber.
The only set that 19th seed Muchova has dropped in this campaign was in the second round against Camila Giorgi.
Muchova only had one match on grass this season ahead of Wimbledon, losing her opener in Berlin.
A Muchova +1.5 games handicap is at a quote of 5/6 for Wimbledon tennis betting*(odds taken 20:39 GMT on July 5th 2021)
Angelique Kerber Preview – Kerber gaining momentum
There was a big underdog success for Angelique Kerber in the fourth round.
In the match outright the German had been the underdog for her match against Cori Gauff.
But the experience of former Wimbledon champion Kerber was evident as she wrapped up a straight-sets victory.
That continued some great form from Kerber on the grass, where she clearly thieves.
Ahead of Wimbledon, Kerber hit form in winning the title at Bad Homburg.
That was a big confidence lift for her as it’s been a largely unproductive 2021 from her.
The step forward in the form to beat Gauff now sees Kerber enter this quarter-final as the 8/11 odds-on favourite in tennis betting*(odds taken 20:39 GMT on July 5th 2021).
Will she continue her winning form against Muchova?

There is a lot to like about the way that Angelique Kerber handles herself on grass courts as she reads the surface better than most.
Kerber has been under pressure a couple of times though in this tournament, dropping sets in both the second and third round.
But then she has also, on the flip side of that, held her nerve.

2018 champion Kerber may well have the momentum to sneak through to what would be her fourth career Wimbledon semi-final.
