Wozniacki Crashes Out Of Wimbledon

Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki became the latest Wimbledon casualty on Monday as she fell to Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in straight sets.

Czech player Strycova, ranked 43rd in the world, took her sixth match point to secure a 6-2 7-5 win on Court 12 and earn a place in the quarter-finals.

Having beaten second seed Li Na in the previous round, Strycova started well and claimed the first set in 35 minutes.

Wozniacki, who spent 67 weeks as the world's top-ranked player but has since slipped to 16th, then found herself 3-1 down in the second set before breaking back.

Strycova failed to convert two match points against Wozniacki's serve in the 10th game, as her 23-year-old Danish opponent eventually held to level at 5-5.

More match points followed in the 12th game though, and eventually Strycova seized the moment.

Following a double fault, Wozniacki sent a floated backhand just wide from close to the net as Strycova secured another outstanding victory.
