The two-time Grand Slam champion has produced some fine performances this year including reaching the final of the Indian Wells Masters but hardly any of them can better the kind of performances she has been showing at Wimbledon so far.

The 7^th seeded Russian began her Wimbledon campaign by defeating Tunisian Ons Jabeur in the first round in straight sets following which, she defeated compatriot Ekaterina Makarova in the second round, also in straight sets that included a bagel in the first set.

In the third round, Kuznetsova defeated qualifier Polona Herzog of Slovenia 6-4, 6-0 to set up a fourth round clash against 2012 Wimbledon runner-up and 9^th seed Aga Radwanska.

The match turned out to be a completely one-sided affair as Kuznetsova thrashed the Pole in the first set 6-2 before taking the second set 6-4 to reach her first Wimbledon quarter-final in a decade and her fourth overall. Kuznetsova will take on Garbine Muguruza in the quarter-finals and there is a very good chance that she may reach her first Wimbledon semi-final.
