Pliskova, last top-10 woman, out in 4th round

The Wimbledon women's quarterfinals will be without a single top-10 player, as No. 7 Karolina Pliskova lost 6-3, 7-6 to Kiki Bertens in the fourth round on Manic Monday.

Pliskova had been the only female player in the top 10 to reach the fourth round, the fewest in a Grand Slam event in the Open era following a slew of upsets in the first week.

Following Pliskova's exit, No. 11 Angelique Kerber is the highest remaining seed in the women's draw. She was facing Belinda Bencic on Monday.

In other play Monday, Dominika Cibulkova overcame a delay caused by a controversial decision from the umpire to advance to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Hsieh Su-Wei.
