World number one Iga Swiatek insisted she would not be hard on herself after her remarkable 37-match winning streak came to an end at Wimbledon.

French Open winner Swiatek had not tasted defeat since February when she went down to Jelena Ostapenko in Dubai but had no answer to Alize Cornet who claimed a 6-4 6-2 win on Court One.

Polish star Swiatek struggled throughout the third-round tie and served up 32 unforced errors to bow out of the All England Club on day six. “I hope this is going to be the thing that I’m going to be proud of.

I mean, right now even I am satisfied with this streak, so I’m happy that I was able to do that,” she reflected. “Honestly, yeah usually I am hard on myself.
