Swiatek's 37-match winning streak crumbles at hands of Cornet

Iga Swiatek suffered a shock straight-sets defeat to Alize Cornet at Wimbledon

as her 37-match winning streak came to a stunning end.

The world No 1 had not lost since February when she went down to Jelena Ostapenko in Dubai but was out of sorts against her French opponent on Court One.

Swiatek made 32 unforced errors to lose 6-4 6-2 in one hour and 32 minutes in the third round at the All England Club.

An upset was on the cards early on when Cornet, who made the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January, broke the first seed twice early on.

Even though Swiatek did break back, it was the experienced Frenchwoman who held her nerve to win the opener in 52 minutes with a forehand smash.

When Polish star Swiatek moved 2-0 up at the beginning of the second, the comeback seemed on but Cornet continued to force the French Open winner into long rallies and eventually wore her down to secure a memorable victory.

It brought back memories for the 32-year-old after she also stunned Serena Williams on this court back in 2014.

Cornet said on-court: "I have no words. It reminds me of the time I beat Serena on this court eight years ago so you guys are lucky for me.

"I just want to say I am a huge fan of Iga. I am very flattered I got to beat her today.

"I am like the good wine in France. Good wine always ages well."

Coco Gauff suffered a third-round exit after she went down 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 6-1 on Centre Court to fellow American Amanda Anisimova.
