Serena Williams threatens to sue over roof at Wimbledon quarterfinalsSHAUN BOTTERILL/GETTY IMAGES Serena Williams threatened to sue Wimbledon organisers if she slipped and injured herself. But the Russian, herself a double grand slam winner and three-times Wimbledon quarter-finalist, failed to serve out the set. Serena Williams made the most of a break in her match against 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova on Monday, when the Centre Court roof was closed after she threatened to sue organisers if she fell and injured herself on the slippery turf. The No 1 seed faces another Russian, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, in the quarter-finals, where she was joined for the first time since 2010 by older sister Venus. Venus Williams will face Russian Yaroslava Shvedova, while in the other quarterfinals Australian Open winner Angelique Kerber takes on fifth seed Simona Halep and in-form 19th seed Dominika Cibulkova will clash with Russian Elina Vesnina.
