Swiatek and Jabeur Suffer Shock Losses at Wimbledon In a stunning upset at the Wimbledon Championships, top-seeded Iga Swiatek and fifth-seeded Ons Jabeur crashed out in the third round on Saturday. Swiatek’s Reign Ends Swiatek, who had not lost a match since February and had been on a 37-match winning streak, was defeated in straight sets by France’s Alize Cornet. The 32-year-old Cornet, ranked 113th in the world, outplayed Swiatek with her aggressive play and relentless forehand. After losing the first set 6-4, Swiatek fought back in the second but ultimately lost the tiebreak 7-4. Cornet then closed out the match with a 6-2 victory in the third set. Jabeur’s Title Hopes Dashed Jabeur, who had been considered a favorite to win her first Wimbledon title after reaching the final last year, was also eliminated in the third round. She fell to unseeded Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic in three sets, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. Bouzkova, ranked 70th in the world, took control of the match from the start and frustrated Jabeur with her consistent play and powerful serve. Jabeur fought back in the second set but could not sustain her momentum in the third. Seeds Fall by the Wayside The losses of Swiatek and Jabeur continue a trend of top seeds falling early in this year’s Wimbledon. On Friday, second-seeded Rafael Nadal withdrew from the tournament due to an abdominal injury. The upsets have opened up the draw and created a more unpredictable tournament. Several unseeded players have advanced to the fourth round, including Cornet, Bouzkova, and Jule Niemeier of Germany. The Wimbledon Championships will continue on Monday, with the fourth round matches set to be played.Swiatek Suffers Wimbledon Upset, Jabeur Also OustedSwiatek Suffers Wimbledon Upset, Jabeur Also Ousted Polish world No. 1 Iga Swiatek’s quest for a grass-court triumph has been halted once again, as she was stunned in the third round of Wimbledon by Yulia Putintseva. The 35th-ranked Kazakhstani claimed a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over the reigning French Open champion. It marks the third consecutive year that Swiatek has exited Wimbledon early after winning the French Open. Despite winning the junior Wimbledon title, she has struggled to find success on grass in her professional career. Another upset occurred when last year’s finalist Ons Jabeur of Tunisia was defeated by Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in straight sets, 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). Putintseva, who has been on an eight-match winning streak on grass, attributed her success against Swiatek to her opponent’s unforced errors. Swiatek committed 38 unforced errors, allowing Putintseva to capitalize and advance. Svitolina’s victory came after Jabeur squandered a set point in the second set, sending the match into a tiebreaker that Svitolina ultimately won. Other notable results saw Elena Rybakina thrash Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets, while Anna Kalinskaya upset fellow Russian Liudmila Samsonova.Wimbledon saw two major upsets on Wednesday as top seed Iga Swiatek and fifth seed Ons Jabeur suffered shock defeats. Swiatek, who was on a 37-match winning streak and had won her last two Grand Slams, was beaten in the second round by Harmony Tan, a French player ranked 115th in the world. Jabeur, the reigning Madrid champion, was defeated in the third round by Marie Bouzkova, a Czech player ranked 66th in the world. Swiatek had been the dominant force in women’s tennis this year, winning six titles and not dropping a set since February. However, she was unable to find her best form against Tan, who played aggressively and took risks throughout the match. Swiatek made 30 unforced errors and was broken six times, while Tan hit 24 winners and saved five of the six break points she faced. Jabeur had also been in good form this year, winning the Berlin title and reaching the final in Rome. However, she was unable to match the power and consistency of Bouzkova, who hit 35 winners and made only 15 unforced errors. Jabeur was broken three times in the match, while Bouzkova saved all four break points she faced. The defeats of Swiatek and Jabeur leave the women’s draw wide open. There are no clear favorites remaining, and several players will fancy their chances of winning the title. The tournament is now expected to be much more competitive, and there could be several more upsets before the champion is crowned.
