Wimbledon 2018: Seventh seed Karolina Pliskova loses in straight sets to Kiki Bertens

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.
