American Madison Keys lost to No. 9 Linda Noskova 6-4, 7-6 (2) on Monday, ending her run at Wimbledon. Noskova improved to 17-4 on grass since the start of 2025, the most wins by any woman over that span. Keys, the 26th seed, had her eight-match win streak snapped.

Noskova will face Mertens in the quarterfinals. Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff remain the only former major champions in the top half of the draw.
