A gracious Ashleigh Barty offered no excuses after her incredible grand slam run came to a shuddering halt with a deflating fourth-round Wimbledon exit to American Alison Riske.

Bidding to become the first Australian woman to make the quarter-finals at the All England Club since Jelena Dokic 19 years ago, Barty fell 3-6 6-2 6-3 in a fourth-round nailbiter on Monday.

World No.55 Riske withstood 12 aces from Barty to chalk up her tour-best 14th grasscourt victory of the season.
