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.

With Katie Boulter defeating Daria Snigur -- the first-round conqueror of defending champion Beatriz Haddad Maia -- 7-5, 6-3, half of the players in Friday's quarterfinals are from Britain.

Two of them are up against each other: Harriet Dart and new British No. 1 Katie Boulter.
