Iga Swiatek stunned by Yulia Putintseva at Wimbledon

World No. 1 suffers shock third-round exit

Putintseva pulls off remarkable upset to book quarter-final berth

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek has been stunned in the third round of Wimbledon by Yulia Putintseva, losing 3-6 6-1 6-2.

The defeat is a major upset, with Swiatek having been the heavy favorite to win the tournament. She had won her previous 37 matches and had not lost a set since the French Open.

Putintseva, ranked 46th in the world, played an inspired match, hitting winners from all over the court. She broke Swiatek's serve seven times and saved all four break points she faced.

The victory is a major boost for Putintseva, who has been struggling for form in recent months. She will now face Beatriz Haddad Maia in the quarter-finals.

Swiatek's defeat is a blow to her hopes of winning a first Wimbledon title. She was the top seed in the tournament and had been expected to challenge for the title.
