World number one Iga Swiatek’s 37-match winning run has ended after a 6-4 6-2 defeat to Alize Cornet in the third round at Wimbledon.
The French star stunned Swiatek on Court One as the dominant Pole failed to find her rhythm and has been swiftly dumped out of Wimbledon as a result. Swiatek came into the tournament as the runaway World No. 1 and reigning French Open champion.
It also means her 37-match winning run is over, which was the longest unbeaten streak seen in women's tennis this century. Remarkably, it is the third time Cornet has beaten a current World No. 1, including when she defeated Serena Williams in the third round at Wimbledon in 2014.
