chetan pathak is there for us. chetan, it'll be a significant day whoever makes the final?, and we are hoping for two cracking semifinals. there has been a shortage of stories when you think of serena williams or andy murray or what happened with roger federal last night, but we would like some top quality tennis to talk about as well. the women public quarterfinals were fairly straightforward, but there is a potential cracker about to get under way on centre court at the moment. it involves the world number one ashleigh barty looking to get to her first final against angelique kerber who has rediscovered her best form of late, the 2018 finalist who is 33 now. there is speculation she was thinking of retiring earlier this year, but she has been moving so well, we know what she is like from the baseline, expect some slice and dice from ash barty. if anyone can disrupt, it is her. this going on first on centre court, probably thinking about the australian audience at home to watch ash barty. this will get under way and then we will see the two big hitters, karolina pliskova,
