Third-seeded Magda Linette, fifth-seeded Anhelina Kalinina and seventh-seed Camila Giorgi all lost at the grass-court Nottingham Open to leave the women's singles quarterfinal lineup with a very British flavor at the Wimbledon warmup tournament.
In an impressive victory, Britain's Jodie Burrage defeated Poland's Magda Linette 7-5, 6-3.
Before that, Elizabeth Mandlik of the United States ousted seventh-seeded Camila Giorgi of Italy 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 and fifth-seeded Anhelina Kalinina of Ukraine was beaten 6-0, 7-5 by Harriet Dart of Britain.
The result of these three matches meant none of the eight seeded players made it past the second round.
