LONDON — Iga Swiatek showed signs of frustration on the tennis court at Wimbledon after her winning streak ended with a loss against Yulia Putintseva in the third round. Swiatek, the No. 1-ranked player, struggled on the grass surface after dominating on the red clay of the French Open.
Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam champion, including four titles at Roland Garros, expressed disappointment in her performance at Wimbledon. She attributed her struggles to the quick transition from the French Open and lack of rest.
Putintseva, an unseeded player, capitalized on Swiatek’s errors to secure the victory. Swiatek acknowledged that she did not play up to her potential but remains optimistic about her future opportunities in the season.
Despite the loss, Swiatek looks ahead to upcoming tournaments to showcase her game and bounce back from the disappointment at Wimbledon. Other matches at Wimbledon continue, including matchups featuring top players like Novak Djokovic and Jelena Ostapenko.
