WIMBLEDON, England (AP) _ For the first time in nearly a century, no Americans will play in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

The last U.S. player left in either the men's or women's draw _ Shenay Perry _ lost 6-2, 6-0 Monday to seventh-seeded Elena Dementieva.

The 62nd-ranked Perry was gone in 54 minutes. She dropped 10 straight games from 2-2 in the first set, ending the American challenge by lunchtime on the first day of the second week. The American absence was embarrassing given that the U.S. has won more Wimbledon singles titles by far (83) than any other country.

The last time no Americans reached the quarter-finals at the All England Club was in 1911, when no U.S. women and only three men were entered in the tournament.

None of the nine American men in the draw this year reached the fourth round, with 1992 champion Andre Agassi and two-time finalist Andy Roddick losing Saturday to Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, respectively.

Fourteen U.S. women were entered, with defending champion and three-time winner Venus Williams upset Saturday by Jelena Jankovic of Serbia.

The 21-year-old Perry, playing in the fourth round at a Grand Slam for the first time, won only 13 points in the second set. She had just six winners, only one in the second set, and finished with 24 errors.

Dementieva had 21 winners and 16 errors to reach the Wimbledon quarters for the first time. The eighth-ranked Russian, a former finalist at the French and U.S. Opens, had lost in the fourth round at Wimbledon three times.

Also Monday, French qualifier Severine Bremond upset 18th-seeded Ai Sugiyma of Japan 7-6 (11), 6-3. She's the first qualifier to get this far at Wimbledon since Jelena Dokic and Alexandra Stevenson in 1999. The 30-year-old Sugiyama, a former quarter-finalist, was making her 14th straight appearance at Wimbledon.

After the middle Sunday's traditional day of rest, Wimbledon's second week started with a unique development, with all 16 men's and women's fourth-round matches on Monday's schedule.

Play began as a heat wave hit southern England, with temperatures nearing 30 C. Players cooled themselves with ice packs during changeovers, and fans were urged to drink plenty of water and use sun lotion.
