Congratulations to Wang Xinyu from China! 🇨🇳 She just made it to the Wimbledon Championships' last 16 for the first time in her career. Wang triumphed over Britain's Harriet Dart with scores of 2-5, 7-6, 6-3 in a thrilling women's singles third-round match at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.
This milestone matches Wang's best performance in any Grand Slam, following her last 16 appearance at the U.S. Open in 2023. In a dramatic comeback, Wang reversed a 3-0 deficit in the deciding set by winning six straight games, showcasing her incredible resilience and skill. Next up for Wang is the No. 21 seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine, who advanced after defeating 10th-seeded Ons Jabeur of Tunisia.
Wimbledon also delivered one of the year's biggest shocks as Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan upset top-seeded Iga Swiatek of Poland with scores of 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. Putintseva shared her excitement, saying, \"At some point I was playing fearless. I was just, 'I can do it I have to believe 100 percent, I have nothing to lose, just go for it.'\" Her determination paid off, securing a memorable victory.
Adding to the action, No. 4 seed Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan easily defeated Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki with dominant scores of 6-0, 6-1, advancing further in the tournament.
