LONDON (Reuters) - It was 'Mothering Monday' on Wimbledon's Centre Court when Serena Williams took on fellow mum Evgeniya Rodina for a place in the quarter-finals of the grasscourt major.

That showdown guaranteed a mother, which turned out to be Williams, will be in the last eight of the singles championships for the first time since Belgian Kim Clijsters made it that far in 2010 accompanied by her then two-year-old toddler Jada.
