Barty's Wimbledon campaign over as Riske turns it around against world number one

Ashleigh Barty's Wimbledon campaign has been derailed by Alison Riske in a three-set loss in the fourth round.

World number one Barty looked set to steamroll her American opponent with four straight aces in the opening game, totting up a total of eight unbeatable serves as she took the first set 6-3 in 32 minutes.

But things took a turn when world number 55 Riske powered back in the second set, breaking serve three times to turn the match on its head.

In a tense deciding set, both players held serve for seven games before Riske broke decisively for a 5-3 lead, which she converted on serve to advance to the quarter-finals.

More to come.
