The mercury was rising at Wimbledon on Saturday as the serial trophy hunters gathered in the last 16 with defending champions Rafa Nadal, Serena Williams and Roger Federer leading the charge.
Nadal was in miserly mood as he reached the business end of yet another grand slam by finishing off plucky Luxembourger Gilles Muller 7-6 7-6 6-0 on Number One court.
Williams, seeded seventh after her return from 11 months of health problems, made the most emphatic statement yet about her prospects by blasting past Russia's Maria Kirilenko 6-3 6-2.
