<p><strong>Black ribbon stands out</strong></p>
<p>Svitolina&rsquo;s ribbon stood out dramatically on her white playing shirt as she completed a straight-set win over Wang Xinyu of China. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very difficult day today for all Ukraine people,&rdquo; said Svitolina, 29, who wept as she conducted a TV interview on court.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As she attempted to compose herself, she received a lengthy round of applause from spectators on Court Two. &ldquo;It was not easy to focus on the match. Since this morning, it has been very difficult to read the news and go on court. So, I was happy to play today and get the win. It was a good performance from my side. Thanks to everyone for their support,&rdquo; she said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Earlier on Monday, Russia struck cities across Ukraine with a missile attack that killed 31 people and heavily damaged a Kyiv children&rsquo;s hospital in an assault condemned as a ruthless attack on civilians. &nbsp;Two-time semi-finalist Svitolina&rsquo;s 6-2, 6-1 win took her into a quarter-final clash with Russian-born Elena Rybakina, the 2022 champion who represents Kazakhstan.</p>
<p><strong>Rybakina beats Kalinskaya</strong></p>
<p>Rybakina defeated an injury-hit Anna Kalinskaya to reach her third successive Wimbledon quarter-final on Monday. World No. 4 Rybakina took the first set against the 18th-ranked Russian 6-3 on Centre Court. Kalinskaya required a medical time-out at 3-4 down to treat what appeared to be neck and wrist injuries. Rybakina then won the next five games before Kalinskaya called it quits.</p>
