WIMBLEDON, England — Top-ranked Simona Halep was knocked out of Wimbledon by Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan, losing, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, in the third round.
Halep’s exit means only one of the women’s top 10 seeds remains in the tournament: No. 7 Karolina Pliskova.
Halep, the reigning French Open champion, served for the match at 5-3 in the final set and had a match point in the next game, but she could not capitalize on her chances. Hsieh saved the match point with a backhand winner before holding for 5-5. She then broke Halep in the next game.
