Serena Williams faces a setback at Queen's as her doubles campaign is now uncertain. Her partner, Victoria Mboko, suffered a knee injury during a singles match against Karolina Pliskova. This injury puts a cloud over the American's prospects in the doubles draw while other US players find their rhythm on the grass.

Amanda Anisimova returned to grass form with a commanding 6-1 6-3 victory over world number 44 Siegemund. Anisimova is shaking off a brutal 6-0 6-0 loss to Iga Swiatek from last year's Wimbledon final. She entered the tournament as the second seed and aims to build on her experience as a 2025 US Open runner-up.

Iva Jovic will face Anisimova in the quarter-finals after defeating Alexandra Eala 6-2 6-2 on Andy Murray Arena. Jovic, the sixth seed, has now beaten Eala twice in two weeks, including a win at the French Open. The 18-year-old remains confident despite the upcoming clash with her friend and fellow countrywoman.

Anisimova's efficiency on the grass surface suggests she is a top contender for the title. Jovic enters the quarter-finals with momentum from her recent wins over Eala. This matchup sets up an all-American battle between the second and sixth seeds.
