A top-ranked player, Iga Swiatek, had been unbeaten since February and looked unbeatable with 37 consecutive matches won and six consecutive titles won

A mistake-filled Saturday ended Swiatek's Wimbledon hopes in the third round after a 6-4, 6-2 loss to France's 37th-ranked Alize Cornet

A two-time French Open champion who has never advanced beyond the fourth round at the All England Club, Swiatek said, "I know I didn't play good tennis. I was pretty confused about my tactics."

It wasn't just the winner of the match that was unexpected

[{"selector":"#anim-887461f2-9261-4c9e-87c7-5ba5b495d819 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7092e1b-3a53-4c98-8465-cd290a56c9b7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The encounter was also extremely one-sided with a duration of 1 hour, 33 minutes

"This kind of match is what I strive for every day," Cornet said

Swiatek is the first woman to win 37 matches in a row since Martina Hingis also won 37 matches in 1997

Stefanos Tsitsipas, the fourth seed, never recovered from what he called a circus atmosphere and bullying tactics by Nick Kyrgios, who cursed and argued his way to a 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7) victory
