Five-time champion Venus Williams overcame a tough challenge from Jarmila Groth of Australia to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals Monday, while No. 3 seed Caroline Wozniacki was knocked out in straight sets by unseeded Czech Petra Kvitova.
Fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic retired due to a back injury, while Kim Clijsters rallied to beat fellow Belgian Justine Henin in three sets.
Venus Williams, the No. 2 seed, overcame a tough challenge from Groth, the lowest-ranked player left in the draw. She broke back twice to stay in the second set, then escaped in the tiebreaker to complete a 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory.
