EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsAmerican Madison Keys is out of Wimbledon following a 6-4, 7-6 (2) loss to No. 9 Linda Noskova, who advanced to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal Monday.Noskova improved to 17-4 on grass since the start of 2025, the most wins by any woman over that span. She returns to the quarterfinals of a major for the first time since the 2024 Australian Open.Keys, the 26th seed, saw her eight-match win streak snapped, her longest on tour since a 16-match stretch in early 2025 that included her first major title at the Australian Open.Keys was the only former Grand Slam winner left in the bottom half of the ladies' draw, which will see a new champion for the 10th straight Wimbledon. Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff are the former major champions remaining in the top half of the draw.Noskova next faces Elise Mertens, who will also be making her first quarterfinal appearance at the All England Club following a 6-4, 6-4 win over Marie Bouzkova.Also on Monday, No. 13 Jasmine Paolini -- with Roger Federer watching from the Royal Box -- ended the dream run of Alexandra Eala, who became the first player from the Philippines to reach the second week of a major in the Open era.With the 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win, Paolini reached her third major quarterfinal. She is the only player left in the women's draw who has played in a Wimbledon final, losing to Barbora Krejcikova in 2024."He's my idol," Paolini said of Federer. "I was like during the match, 'Please stay focused, stay focused, don't think about he's here.'"I was watching all the finals and all the tournaments he was playing here, so it's an amazing feeling."Up next for Paolini is Marta Kostyuk, the No. 12 seed who beat American Ashlyn Krueger 6-4, 6-4 earlier Monday.Kostyuk, who trained as a competitive gymnast for seven years when she was younger, often celebrates big tournament wins with a backward somersault."I have some people -- the volunteers, in the restaurant -- who are telling me, 'Can you do a backflip the next time you win a match?'" Kostyuk said after her latest win. "I'm like, 'Guys, I save it for the only moment I win my first Grand Slam.' So hopefully."With Krueger and Keys both losing, the only two American women remaining in the draw are No. 7 Gauff and No. 4 Jessica Pegula, who play each other in the quarterfinals Tuesday in what will be the first all-American ladies' match at Wimbledon between top-10 seeds since the 2009 final between Serena and Venus Williams.It is the first time since 2007 that all eight Wimbledon women's quarterfinalists are seeded.ESPN Research and PA contributed to this report.
