Naomi Osaka and Madison Keys knocked out of Wimbledon
American sixth seed Keys was then on the receiving end of a major shock in the next women's match on Court Two, losing 6-3 6-3 to 37-year-old German Laura Siegemund.
The 30-year-old became the sixth top-10 player to be dumped out of the competition and did not speak to the media post-match due to illness.
Seeded trio Amanda Anisimova, Linda Noskova and Elise Mertens did progress on day five, in addition to Argentinian lucky loser Solana Sierra.
Unseeded Osaka – playing in the third round of the Championships for the first time in seven years – looked set to claim a small piece of personal history before failing to capitalise on two break points at 4-4 in set two.
She missed the 2021, 2022 and 2023 editions of the tournament due to mental health issues, injury and pregnancy respectively.
The 27-year-old Japanese player has struggled to make an impact at grand slams since the birth of her daughter Shai two years ago and was knocked out of the recent French Open in the first round by Paula Badosa.
'In Paris, I was very emotional,' she said. 'Now I don't feel anything, so I guess I'd prefer to feel nothing than everything.
'It's not like I can really even be mad at myself. I was thinking about the break points that I had. She hit some really good serves. Then she hit a backhand. I can't really do that much about it.
'Obviously I'm still going to beat myself up a little bit.
"Siegemund stuns Keys." 🤯

'I'm just going to be a negative human being today. I'm so sorry. I have nothing positive to say about myself, which is something I'm working on.'
Sierra – conqueror of Britain's Katie Boulter in round two – continued her impressive Wimbledon debut by beating Cristina Bucsa 7-5 1-6 6-1 and will face Siegemund, who is 16 years her senior, next.
American 13th seed Anisimova defeated Hungary's Dalma Galfi 6-3 5-7 6-3. Czech 20-year-old Noskova, seeded 30th, awaits her after she beat Kamilla Rakhimova 7-6 (6) 7-5.
Belgian 24th seed Mertens overcame two-time semi-finalist Elina Svitolina 6-1 7-6 (4).

Cameron Norrie rekindling memories of the summer of 22 with Wimbledon run
The world number 61 faces Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry in the fourth round on Sunday as he bids to keep alive British interest in the men's singles draw. Norrie was beaten in four sets by seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the last four of the Championships in 2022 – by far his best performance at a grand slam. Following successive Court One victories over 12th seed Frances Tiafoe and Italian Mattia Bellucci after a round-one win against Roberto Bautista Agut, he sees similarities with the summer of three years ago. 'From the beginning of the tournament I was here to play and compete,' said Norrie. 'It's obviously nice to be through. But I'm most proud I'm just enjoying match for match. 'It just feels kind of like when I obviously made that run there, the weather was unbelievable that year, so sunny. 'It was so much fun that year. It feels a little bit like that right now. It feels very normal. But still a long way to go obviously. Nothing to get too carried away with.' Norrie reached a career-best ranking of eighth following his Centre Court showdown with eventual winner Djokovic, which followed glory at Indian Wells the previous October. Yet, in part due to a torn bicep suffered last summer, he had plummeted to 91st in the world by April of this year. The 29-year-old could become only the third British man in more than 50 years – after Tim Henman and Andy Murray – to reach two Wimbledon quarter-finals. 'The beginning of this year I was struggling a little bit with expectations, wanting to play well and wanting to win and wanting to do well, not really taking care of the fundamentals so much,' he said. 'I've come to enjoy this tournament. I want to keep doing that and keep giving people, my friends, my family, my team, something to cheer about. From @cam_norrie to you! 🫵🇬🇧🤳#Wimbledon — LTA (@the_LTA) July 4, 2025 'As a kid you dream about playing here at Wimbledon. If I would have seen myself here playing and competing, I would have been super proud.' Big-serving world number 143 Jarry is aiming to reach the maiden major quarter-final of his career. After coming through qualifying in Roehampton, he fought back from two sets down to knock out eighth seed Holger Rune in the first round and then dispatched American Learner Tien and Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca. The 6ft 6ins 29-year-old won his only previous tour level meeting with Norrie, a straight-sets success at the 2018 Miami Open. 'It's a great match to play, I'm excited for it,' said Norrie. 'I think he's one of the most dangerous players on the tour when he's confident, and he is confident. 'He beat Holger in a crazy match. I think he looks like a guy with nothing to lose. He's so dangerous. 'He's got one of the best serves on tour. I think he likes the grass a lot. 'I'm going to have to really raise my level from how I played (in round three).'

Emma Raducanu joins Jack Draper in questioning automated Wimbledon line calling
A fully automated system has replaced human line judges – whose calls could be challenged using electronic reviews – for the first time at the Championships this year. The two most vocal critics so far have been Britain's leading players, with Raducanu going even further than Jack Draper after feeling one call in particular, when a Sabalenka shot was ruled to have clipped the line, was wrong. Emma Raducanu has spoken about the trustworthiness of the newly introduced electronic line calling system at #Wimbledon 🗣 "It's kind of disappointing that the calls can be so wrong" 🎥❌ — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 4, 2025 'That call was for sure out,' said Raducanu after her intense 7-6 (6) 6-4 defeat by the world number one. 'It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong, but for the most part they've been OK. I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. Hopefully they can fix that.' The technology has become standard across the tour, with all ATP Tour events and a lot of WTA ones no longer using line judges. The same system operates at the Australian Open and the US Open but the French Open remains an outlier, so far eschewing any form of electronic system. Draper queried one serve from Marin Cilic during his second-round loss on Thursday, and he said: 'I don't think it's 100 per cent accurate, in all honesty. A couple of the ones today it showed a mark on the court. There's no way the chalk would have showed.' Wimbledon organisers have been contacted for comment.
