The first big surprise at Wimbledon is a fact! The WTA World No. 1, Iga Sviontek found herself on a very bad day and paid for it, knowing defeat and elimination from her Elina Svitolina (No. 76).
The Polish champion, who has yet to win the major tournament in England, fell behind 1-0 in the set and despite the fact that she made it 1-1 in the second set tiebreak and everything looked like she was going to win, in the end he didn’t make it. The Ukrainian tennis player had not said the last word and by “breaking” her opponents’ serve twice, she reached a very important victory, throwing out the top player of recent years.
A victim of -smaller- surprise also fell Jessica Pegula (No. 4) from Marketa Vodrusova. The Czech Republic had a very good presence and taking the first, but also the third set, took the victory with 2-1 set. As for the men’s part, they are currently competing Shiner-Safiulin, while in a little while his game starts Novak Djokovic with Andrei Rublev.
