let's round up some of the other stories on fourth round day at wimbledon. biggest shocks of the tournament so far, the women's number one seed is out. australia's ashleigh barty was beaten over three sets by the american alison riske. she was on a 15—match unbeaten run and exactly a month ago won the french open. had a break point in the third set and was not able to capitalise on that chance and then when allison had her chance, she was able to grab it with both hands and i think even though at times execution was not there for me, i was still able to create small chances and small windows but not able to grab them today. next up for alison riske is serena williams. she's safely through to the last eight after cruising past spain's carla suarez navarro. the seven—time champion raced to a 6—2, 6—2 victory over the world number 31. the last time i played a fellow american, i lost what deftly wanted to do well this time and she is great on the grass. shooting at the number one player in the world, who just want a grass court tournament, so just want a grass c
