Iga Swiatek suffered a shock straight sets defeat to Alizé Cornet at Wimbledon as her 37-match winning streak came to an end.

Swiatek has enjoyed so many one-sided wins in her 37-match streak that she has hardly ever had to dig deep but she settled down and got one of the breaks back. Unable to close out the game, she dropped her serve and from then on, there was a strange inevitability to the set as Cornet ripped through six straight games to clinch another stunning victory. Having needed to rest after winning in Paris, she came into Wimbledon without playing any warm-up event and had struggled in her second-round match against Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove of the Netherlands. Iga Swiatek knew it, and when she saw the name of Alizé Cornet alongside her in the third round here, the Pole probably knew her time was up. I’m still so motivated and I still have the fire in me.” “I had this belief even with her wins, I thought if there is a moment you can beat her, it’s now, on grass so I was just believing very hard and I have the best team by my side and the best crowd.

Iga Swiatek, the Polish World No. 1, saw her 37-match winning streak come to an abrupt end at the hands of Alize Cornet in the third round of Wimbledon.

I had this belief even with her wins, I thought there is a moment you can beat her it's now on grass so I was just believing very hard and I have the best team by my side and the best crowd. Cornet rushed into a 3-0 lead with a stunning double break and the 32-year-old held on to take the first set 6-4. She will face Australian Ajla Tomljanović, who Emma Raducanu faced - and had to retire against - at the same stage last year. The 21-year-old was ultimately defeated following an inspired performance by 37th-ranked Cornet, who kept her composure to streak towards a famous win. It also means her 37-match winning run is over, which was the longest unbeaten streak seen in women's tennis this century. Swiatek came into the tournament as the runaway World No. 1 and reigning French Open champion.
