Venus Williams became the oldest woman to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 23 years when the 37-year-old beat Ana Konjuh in the fourth round on Monday.
Williams, the US 10th seed, beat the Croatian 27th seed 6-3, 6-2 on Centre Court, becoming the oldest player to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals since Martina Navratilova in 1994.
At 19, Konjuh was not even born when five-time champion Williams made her Wimbledon debut in 1997.
Williams faces French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in Tuesday’s quarter-finals.
