One of the main sensations of the day at Wimbledon was the defeat of the reigning champion Iga Swiatek. The world’s third-ranked player lost to Philippine representative Alexandra Eala, who is ranked 32nd in the WTA rankings, 6:7 (9:11), 2:6. Thus, the Polish tennis player was unable to defend the title she won a year ago. In the next round, Eala will face Italian Jasmine Paolini, who is ranked 17th in the world rankings. Another notable news of the day was Serena Williams' withdrawal from the doubles tournament. The American tennis player was set to take the court alongside her sister Venus Williams, who received a wild card for the tournament. However, the match against Colombia's Camila Osorio and Argentina's Solana Sierra will not take place. The reason was a knee injury that Serena sustained during her first-round singles match against Australian Maya Jansen. In her Instagram, the 23-time Grand Slam winner admitted that it was especially hard for her to withdraw from competing in doubles with her sister. "My heart is broken because I have to withdraw from the doubles tournament. Returning to competition has been a gift for me, and the chance to play together with Venus again meant everything to me." According to Williams, she hoped until the last moment to recover, but her knee does not currently allow her to continue competing. After Swiatek's exit, the fight for the title in the women's singles has become even more open. At the same time, the long-awaited return of the Williams sisters to the Wimbledon courts, which many fans were particularly looking forward to, has also come to an end. Earlier on Saturday, Latvian tennis player Alona Ostapenko also finished her doubles competition, losing in the second round alongside American Sofia Kenin. Wimbledon remains the third Grand Slam tournament of the season and is traditionally held on grass courts.
