The biggest surprise of the first week of the tournament so far at the All England Tennis Championships in Wimbledon happened on Saturday evening under a closed roof in the women's competition: Top seed Iga Swiatek from Poland lost 6-3, 1-6, 2-6 to Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan in the third round after 1:59 hours.

For Swiatek, Wimbledon remains no love affair: last year's quarter-final remains her best result after five attempts.

Swiatek went into the match with a run of 21 victories and had won the titles on clay in Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros in succession. The first set went quite to the Polish player's liking, but then the underdog, who was supported by the crowd with a lot of power, managed two breaks each in the second and third sets. "I don't know how I managed it. I just concentrated on my fast game. I have no words and I'm so happy." She will now face Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko in the round of 16.
