Wimbledon 2018 day 5 match results were more or less what Tennis fans must have had hoped for except for the five time champion Venus Williams shock exit. She lost to Kiki Bertens 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 8-6. But crowd favorite and top seed seed Roger Federer, who has come into the tournament chasing a historic 9th Wimbledon title, eased past Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff. The Swiss maestro won the match 6-3, 7-5, 6-2. The match between the three time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and Canada's Milos Raonic had to be suspended due to darkness and weather issues.
Seven-times Wimbledon winner, Serena Williams won her encounter against France's Kristina Mladenovic 7-5 7-6(2). Karolina Pliskova was a set down in her clash with Romania’s Mihaela Buzarnescu but came back in the match to beat her 3-6 7-6(3) 6-1.
