World number one Ashleigh Barty was knocked out of Wimbledon on Monday, losing her fourth-round tie to soon-to-be-wed Alison Riske of the United States.
French Open champion Barty, bidding to become the first Australian champion at Wimbledon since 1980, lost 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 to the world number 55.
Riske, who will marry after Wimbledon, goes on to face either seven-time champion Serena Williams or Carla Suarez Navarro for a place in the semi-finals.
It will be the 29-year-old’s first appearance in a Grand Slam quarter-final.
