Alison Riske has been a virtually unstoppable force on grass this season, but taking out a world No. 1 still seemed a little out of the realm of possibility. The unseeded world No. 55 beat Roland Garros champion Ashleigh Barty, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Including ITF matches, Riske is now 14-1 on grass, while Barty was handed her first loss since Rome.
"I'm so incredibly excited," Riske said. "The fact that it's at Wimbledon, my favorite Grand Slam, the place that I had always dreamed to be in the last eight club of, they can't kick me out now, I'm here to stay."
She'll play Serena Williams on Tuesday.
