World number two Naomi Osaka suffered a surprise third-round defeat to Swiss wild card Jil Teichmann at the Cincinnati Masters.

"I have high expectations of myself but there was nothing more I could do to win this match," Osaka said.

Elsewhere, top seeds Daniil Medvedev and Ashleigh Barty are among the big names through to the quarter-finals in Cincinnati.

Russian world number two Medvedev beat Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov 6-3 6-3 in the men's draw.

He extends his winning streak to seven matches, having won the Canadian Open title on Sunday.
