LONDON (Reuters) -Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina settled herself after a slow start to reach the quarter-finals on Monday as Russian 17th seed Anna Kalinskaya retired with a right wrist problem while trailing 6-3 3-0.

Big-serving fourth seed Rybakina, who came into the match as the only woman remaining in a decimated draw to have hoisted the Venus Rosewater Dish, found herself an early break down but wasted little time fighting back to reel off the games.
