LONDON, (Reuters) – Top seed Caroline Wozniacki was upset 1-6 7-6 7-5 by Dominika Cibulkova in the fourth round at Wimbledon today, following defending champion Serena Williams out of the tournament.
Dane Wozniacki, bidding for her first grand slam title, looked to be cruising through to last eight for the first time as she comfortably took the first set against the diminutive 24th seed from Slovakia.
But Cibulkova raised her game to take the second-set tiebreak and she stayed with the world number one through a final set riddled with breaks of serve before clinching a shock win on her third match point with a crunching forehand.
Cibulkova will play fifth seed and former champion Maria Sharapova in the last eight.
