NEW FACES

The mayhem in the bottom half during the first seven days here gave a chance for some new faces to make their mark.
Garbine Muguruza seized the chance to become the first Spanish woman to reach the last four since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1997, beating Swiss Timea Bacsinszky 7-5 6-3.
American youngster Madison Keys was unable to unlock the defences of 2012 runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska, though, losing 7-6(3) 3-6 6-3 with the Pole now facing Muguruza.
After a minute's silence on the 10th anniversary of the London Underground and bus bombings, followed by a short rain delay, play began on Court One with a one-set showdown.
Defending men's champion Novak Djokovic resumed against giant-serving Kevin Anderson after their fourth round clash had been stopped at two sets all on Monday because of bad light.
Top seed Djokovic survived some anxious moments and roared his frustration in the direction of a startled ball girl before edging his way to a 6-7(6) 6-7(6) 6-1 6-4 7-5 -- only the fourth time in his a career he has recovered from a two-set deficit.
