LONDON (Reuters) - As the Wimbledon women's quarter-finals take place on Tuesday without any of the top six seeds, the men's competition has a far more familiar look with the "Big Three" not only safely through but, in most cases, barely breaking sweat.

For many fans this "famine or feast" has left them somewhat confused. Everyone loves the excitement of a new name crashing the party, which is why 15-year-old Coco Gauff was so popular. But they also want to believe they are seeing the best in the sport when it gets to the sharp end - which, with the exception of Serena Williams and former world number one Simona Halep, does not seem to be the case on the women's side.
