World No. 1 Iga Swiatek again faltered at Wimbledon, losing in the third round to Yulia Putintseva in three sets Saturday.
Swiatek is a five-time Grand Slam champion, including four titles on the red clay at the French Open -- most recently last month -- and one on the hard courts at the US Open. The All England Club's grass has always given her the most trouble at any major tournament as a pro, although the 23-year-old from Poland did win the junior trophy as a teenager.
She entered Saturday on a 21-match winning streak, all on clay, and decided to withdraw from the only grass-court tuneup that was originally on her schedule before Wimbledon. But Swiatek looked very little like someone who has led the WTA rankings for nearly every week since April 2022 and is assured of remaining there no matter what happens the rest of the way at Wimbledon.
