LONDON -- Venus Williams has gotten this far before. Many times, in fact.Its just been a while.The five-time Wimbledon champion will be playing in the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the 12th time in her career, but the first time since 2010.Yeah, its been a few years. Missed a year or two, said Williams, who has been slowed in recent years by Sjogrens syndrome, a condition that can cause joint pain and saps energy. But Ive been here before. Im not, like, a deer in the headlights.The eighth-seeded Williams will take on Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan on Tuesday, a player she has never faced.Williams reached the quarterfinals by beating Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 7-6 (3), 6-4, while Shvedova defeated 28th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4.Ive never played her, so well see how it goes, Williams said. First couple rounds were against players Ive never played. Its always interesting. You spend the first few games trying to figure out whats working, whats not working. It will definitely be that tomorrow.All four womens quarterfinals will be played Tuesday. In the other matches, its: Serena Williams vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova; Dominika Cibulkova vs. Elena Vesnina; and Angelique Kerber vs. Simona Halep.One more mens fourth-round match, between Tomas Berdych and Jiri Vesely, will also be completed after darkness suspended play on Monday.Shvedova will be playing in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time, but she is part of history at the club after winning a golden set in 2012 -- taking every point in a set.Venus, however, is one of the most successful players in Wimbledon history. The 36-year-old American won her first title at the All England Club in 2000, and then added titles in 2001, `05, `07 and `08.She then reached the final in 2009, and the quarterfinals in 2010, but has struggled as the years have passed.I always want more. I want more out of myself, Venus said. For sure, I havent had an easy road, but a lot of people havent. I try not to think about those sorts of things. I try to think about what I can accomplish.Here are some other matches to watch at Wimbledon on Tuesday:SERENA WILLIAMS VS. ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA: Serena Williams will be on court for the third straight day as she tries to win her 22nd Grand Slam title.The top-ranked Serena, the younger sister of Venus Williams, is 5-0 against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, but they have never met on grass.Weve had some tough matches in the past, Serena said. Ive lost to players thats never beaten me in the past in some big situations. I definitely dont want that to happen.DOMINIKA CIBULKOVA VS. ELENA VESNINA: With her wedding date in the balance, Dominika Cibulkova will face Elena Vesnina for a spot in the Wimbledon semifinals.Cibulkova had planned to get married on Saturday, the day of the womens final, but said if she wins on Tuesday she will postpone her wedding.Im just really happy right now with my tennis and with my private life, the 27-year-old Cibulkova said. You can see it on the court. We are still keeping this date. Well see whats going to happen.SIMONA HALEP VS. ANGELIQUE KERBER: Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber is one win away from matching her best performance at Wimbledon -- the 2012 semifinals.But Simona Halep, the 2014 French Open finalist, has been getting better on the grass at the All England Club, reaching the quarterfinals last year.I improved a lot in the last period. But grass always was a good surface for me, Halep said. I played well in 2014. I have great memories from here, and Im just trying to improve my game on every surface.TOMAS BERDYCH VS. JIRI VESELY: Tomas Berdych and Jiri Vesely will have to play the fifth set of their fourth-round match on Tuesday.Berdych, the 2010 runner-up at Wimbledon, had five match points in the fourth set, but Vesely forced the tiebreaker and evened the match on his seventh set point.Vesely won the first set 6-4, but Berdych won the next two 6-3, 7-6 (8). Vesely then won the fourth set 7-6 (9). Calgary Flames Shirts . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Flames Jerseys 2021 . Soukalova missed only one target and completed the 15-kilometre course in 40 minutes, 32.6 seconds for both victories in this seasons individual discipline. Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. https://www.cheapflames.com/ . Francis told several hundred members of the European Olympic Committees that when sport "is considered only in economic terms and consequently for victory at every cost . Calgary Flames Store . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Cheap Flames Jerseys . The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Lamar Jackson tends to steer clear of the mall these days.Never much for being the center of attention, at least off the field, Louisvilles star quarterback and Heisman Trophy front-runner says he has been laying even lower than usual because when he does go out he often draws crowds.When Im not at the stadium, Im in my room, Jackson said.Jackson has become one of college footballs most recognizable players the first two months of the season. He enters November as a prohibitive favorite to become Louisvilles first Heisman winner.The latest odds from online casino Bovada have Jackson as the 1/3 favorite ahead of Clemsons Deshaun Watson and Michigans Jabrill Peppers, who are both 9/2.After leading Louisville to a last-minute, game-winning touchdown against Virginia last Saturday, Jackson again received all seven first-place votes from a panel of AP sports writers in this weeks Heisman watch.Jackson was also not much for talking to the media last year as a freshman and he still doesnt have a lot to say during interviews. Just as he has worked to get better as a player, Jackson has also worked to become more comfortable being the face and voice of his team.He has the standard response to the Heisman questions down pat.We just try to win games, Jackson said during a conference call with reporters Monday. We dont really dwell on the Heisman and stuff like that. Dont get me wrong. Itll be a great thing if it comes to the program.Four more games of doing what hes done all season should do it for Jackson and the Cardinals.Heres how AP college football writers rank the Heisman contenders going into Week 10:1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (21 points)Last week: Jackson threw for 361 yards and four touchdowns against Virginia, despite a bunch of dropped passes by his receivers and penalties by his line. Simply put, Louisville would have lost without him.This week: at Boston College. The Eagles have one of the better defenses in the country, allowing 4.93 yards per play. But against just Power Five opposition, that number jumps 6.26.2. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (9 points)Last week: Watson threw for 378 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against Florida State. And again he was great late.This week: Syracuse. The Orange have the worst defense inn the ACC and allowed 610 total yards to Jackson in September.dddddddddddd3. Jake Browning, QB, Washington (5 points)Last week: Browning was solid (186 yards passing, two touchdowns and an interception), not spectacular, in a victory against Utah.This week: at California. The Bears are 11th in the Pac-12 in defense (6.31 yards per play).4. Jabrill Peppers, LB, Michigan (4 points)Last week: Peppers ran for a touchdown, scored a defensive 2-point conversion, made seven tackles and had a sack in a win against Michigan State.This week: Maryland. Will Peppers get more than the six offensive touches he had last week?5. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State (2 points)Last week: Cook had 169 yards rushing and four touchdowns on just 19 carries against Clemson. He is fourth in the nation in yards from scrimmage (180 per game).This week: at North Carolina State. The Wolfpack held up OK against Watson and not well at all against Jackson.6. Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State (1 point)Last week: Pumphrey ran for 223 yards, his fourth 200-yard game, against Utah State and is on pace for 2,203 yards in 12 games. That would be the fourth-best total in FBS history. And thats not counting a likely Mountain West title game and bowl.This week: Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors are 10th in the Mountain West in run defense and allow 5.4 yards per carry.Three more to watch:- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU. He had only 31 yards on 19 carries against Alabama last season. If he can figure out the top-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday, hell be back in the Heisman race.- J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State. He gets another prime-time game with No. 9 Nebraska coming to Columbus.- Jonathan Allen, DE, and Jalen Hurts, QB, Alabama. The big game could give a boost to either or both Tide stars.---Poll panel: AP Heisman watch panel: National Writer Paul Newberry, Georgia; Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins, Texas; Sports Writer John Marshall, Arizona; Sports Writer Joedy McCreary, North Carolina; Sports Writer Eric Olson, Nebraska; Sports Writer Steve Megargee, Tennessee; College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo, New York.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
