Tan is playing Wimbledon for the first time, and the 24-year-old has never gotten past the second round at Grand Slam level. On Tuesday she defeated the 23-time major winner Williams in three sets when she returned after a one-year break.

In the round of the top 16 there are three players who are not in the top 100 in the ranking: In addition to Tan, Tatjana Maria (Bad Saulgau/No. 103) and Heather Watson (No. 121) also surprised at the All England Club. The Briton will meet Jule Niemeier (Dortmund/No. 97) for the Wimbledon debut on Sunday.

The 2021 French Open winner, Barbora Krejcikova, was eliminated. The Czech lost to Ajla Tomljanovic 6:2, 4:6 and 3:6. Tournament favorite Iga Swiatek will face France's Alizé Cornet later on Saturday.
