Iga Swiatek's quest to conquer grass at Wimbledon was halted as she suffered a surprising defeat in the third round to Yulia Putinseva. Swiatek, the five-time major champion and world No. 1, was unable to maintain her early lead and fell to Putinseva in three sets.
Swiatek's loss ended her 21-match win streak and highlighted her relative inexperience on grass compared to other surfaces. Despite her dominance on clay, Swiatek struggled to adapt to Putinseva's game plan and speed on the grass court.
