Venus played incredibly well and only dropped her serve once in the entire match. But sadly these days Venus does not have the movement that she once had.
Therefore had to overly rely on her serve and to be fair Petra has a fantastic serve and it's difficult to get her serves back!
So all credit to Petra for getting this win and for Venus the furthest she has progressed in a grandslam in three years.
Simona Halep beat Lesia Tsurenko in three sets and it was a really topsy turvy match which really Simona should have won in straight sets.
Especially as Lesia is ranked a hundred and seventy in the world. But Simona prevailed and won the third set and the match.
The shock of the day was Barbora Zahlavova Strycova beating Li Na in straight sets. Li Na was not able to play her game against Barbora who was able to win the big points when it mattered.
In the men's draw Novak Djokovic beat Gilles Simon in straight sets and it was another routine win for Novak who has yet to be tested in this tournament.
Andy Murray beat Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets and it was a routine win for Andy who has been playing without the pressure he was under last year.
However he will face tougher opponents as he progresses through the draw. He may face Novak in the semi finals and who will be different to the kind of player to the ones he has faced so far.
