In the early morning of July 7, Beijing time, the third round of competition for Wimbledon 2024 continued. As a result, the tournament broke out the biggest upset since the start of the tournament, and the world's No. 1 sister Swiatek lost to Putintseva 6-3, 1-6, 2-6 and stopped in the round of 32. However, it also avoided a confrontation with his enemy Ostapenko.
Putintseva
World No.1 Swiatek's career goal is naturally to win the Golden Slam, and Swiatek currently has four French Open titles and one US Open title. The best result at the Australian Open is a semi-final, but the best result at Wimbledon is only an quarter-final. It can be seen that grass is Swiatek's weakest link.
After winning three consecutive French Open titles this season, Swiatek hung up his exemption card until Wimbledon. In the first two rounds, Swiatek defeated Kenin and Martic without losing a set and advanced to the round of 32. However, compared to Swiatek's frequent delivery of eggs at the French Open, his dominance on grass is still a little weaker.
Swiatek
Facing Kazakhstan's Putintseva in this round, Swiatek has won four straight matches against her on grass courts. In this game, Swiatek played normally in the first set, taking the lead 6-3, but after that, Swiatek judged two people back and forth, and the state was nothing, and the mistakes were flying all over the sky, losing two sets in a row 1-6 and 2-6, missing the round of 16, and the 21-game winning streak came to an abrupt end. The Kazakh won eight straight grass-court victories, reached the round of 16 of Wimbledon for the first time in his career, and reached the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time in four years, scoring 240 points and 22.6w pounds. The instant ranking came to 28th.
It is worth mentioning that Ostapenko, the No. 13 seed in the tournament, swept Pera 6-1, 6-3 and broke into the second week of Wimbledon for the fourth time in his career. Surprisingly, Ostapenko only dropped 10 games in the first three rounds.
Ostapenko
Ostapenko was supposed to face Swiatek after reaching the round of 16, but Swiatek went out early, making the matchup that fans were expecting come to naught. Probably Ostapenko's excellent performance stunned Swiatek, you must know that Ostapenko has a record of 4-0 Swiatek in the previous meeting, and Swiatek probably doesn't want to lose five in a row!
Wang Xinyu
This year's Wimbledon is gradually reaching a climax, and it is gratifying that China's golden flower Wang Xinyu has reached the round of 16 and created a personal Wimbledon best. In the second week, we can continue to appreciate the performance of the Chinese players, come on Wang Xinyu!
