The name of a new women's Wimbledon champion will be inscribed on the Venus Rosewater Dish for the eighth successive tournament after defending champion Barbora Krejcikova and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina both crashed out.
The last two Wimbledon champs standing in the women's draw got eliminated in the third round on Saturday, with the draw opening up even more kindly for the top seed Aryna Sabalenka, five-time grand slam winner Iga Swiatek and teen sensation Mirra Andreeva.
Krejcikova's reign ended sadly for the Czech ace as she had to have her blood pressure taken on court during a medical timeout, feeling dizzy and ill in the deciding set of her 2-6 6-3 6-4 defeat against 10th seed Emma Navarro.
