Czech seventh seed Karolina Pliskova became the last of the women’s top 10 to be knocked out of Wimbledon, beaten in straight sets by Kiki Bertens.
The 26-year-old lost her fourth-round match 6-3 7-6 (7-1) to the Dutch player after a largely uninspiring display.
Bertens, who is seeded 20th and beat Venus Williams in the last round, was ruthless with break-point chances.
Pliskova gave glimpses of her ability in the second set but Bertens held her nerve to secure a quarter-final spot.
