World No. 54 Barbora Strycova upset No. 4 Kiki Bertens in straight sets (7-5, 6-1) to advance to the fourth round at the All England Club on Saturday.
Unforced errors were the difference in this matchup, as Strycova committed just 16 to Bertens' 29. Bertens also had four double-faults while Strycova had one.
It's just the second time Strycova has advanced to the second week at Wimbledon in 16 career attempts.
