There was no stopping Sabine Lisicki.

After her epic win over Serena Williams, she continued her march, dispatching 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes.

"Li played unbelievable tennis. I was just happy to get through after struggling in the final set," said Radwanska after the match.

France's Marion Bartoli also scored a win.

She defeated Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5.

The 15th seed however fell foul of the fans on the 11,000-seater Court One bowl when she demanded that play be stopped when she was leading 5-4, 40-40 with Stephens serving as light rain began to fall.

Indian tennis fans though had no such complaints with their superstars.

While Rohan Bopanna and E. Roger-Vasselin (in pic) entered doubles' semis with a 7-5, 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-2 win, Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek also won their quarterfinal match with a 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4.

Sania Mirza added to the list of good news when she and her mixed doubles partner Horia Tecau won their second round match.

Young stars continued to shine bright.

Kirsten Flipkens reached her first Wimbledon semi-final as the Belgian 20th seed clinched a surprise 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over former champion Petra Kvitova.

Czech eighth seed Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova in the 2011 Wimbledon final, paid the price for an erratic display and Flipkens took full advantage to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final.
