Swiatek, the world’s top-ranked player, lost to Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan, continuing her career-long struggles at the All England Club.
Iga Swiatek lost in the third round at Wimbledon Saturday. The women's No. 1 player in the world has never advanced past the quarterfinals at the All England Club. An alert to this story incorrectly stated that match winner Yulia Putintseva is ranked No. 27 in the world. In fact, Putintseva is ranked No. 35 in the world.
Top-seeded Iga Swiatek lost to unseeded Yulia Putinseva of Khazakstan, 6-3, 1-6, 6-2, on Saturday in her third-round match at Wimbledon, snapping her 21-match winning streak. Swiatek, the world No. 1 from Poland, arrived at the All England Club as the title favorite after winning her fourth French Open title in June but was never expected to have an easy run. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam at which she has not advanced past the quarterfinals.
Just two of the top-five seeds in the women’s draw remain: second-seeded American Coco Gauff and fourth-seeded Elena Rybakina, also of Khazakstan, who won the Wimbledon title in 2022. Third-seeded Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from the tournament with a shoulder injury ahead of the first round and fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula lost earlier this week.
