Wimbledon: Alize Cornet knocks out top seed Iga Swiatek; wins 6-4, 6-2
Iga Swiatek was knocked out of Wimbledon 2022 in the third round of women’s singles, losing to France’s Alize Cornet 6-4, 6-2. With the loss, a 37-match winning streak for the Polish world no.1 came to an end.
Swiatek was coming off a title at the French Open but her play was filled with mistakes in the 6-4, 6-2 defeat against the 37th-ranked Cornet of France.
Swiatek made 33 unforced errors in the 1-hour, 33-minute contest at No. 1 Court. Cornet made only seven.
Swiatek had been unbeaten since February and won her preceding six tournaments in a row.
This is not the first surprising result Cornet has come up with at the All England Club. The only other time she reached the fourth round at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament came in 2014, when she eliminated Serena Williams.
