LONDON, BRATISLAVA. Eight years ago, on the exact same court, in the same round, she knocked out the world number one. And now she succeeded again.
At that time, the current team had not even played a junior competition at Wimbledon. She was too young, barely thirteen years old.
World number one Iga Swiatek’s 37-game winning streak has just ended.
She was eliminated by the experienced Alizé Cornetová, who eliminated the then world number one Serena Williams at Wimbledon in the mentioned match eight years ago.
“Top seed Swiatek is out of the game after the shock of the entire tournament,” wrote the official website of Wimbledon.

“I expected that Iga might not win Wimbledon, but I didn’t expect that Cornet would knock her out,” admitted Eurosport TV station expert Mats Wilander.

In the previous match, Iga Swiatek equaled Martina Hingis’ 37-match winning streak from 1997. Since 1990, no one has had a longer unbeaten streak among women. She could no longer overcome her.
“I can’t believe that I was the one who broke this streak,” Cornet was happy after the match. She laughed that she is such a big fan of Swiatek that she feels a little sorry for beating her.
