Just a few hours after Elena Rybakina (No. 2) was eliminated, the world No. 3 also failed to advance past the round of 16 at the British Grand Slam!

Specifically, Iga Świątek fell victim to an upset at the hands of the formidable Alexandra Yala, with the 21-year-old Filipino tennis player prevailing 2-0 in sets (7-6, 6-1) after a match lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes!

The young athlete, currently ranked No. 32 in the world, couldn’t contain her joy and intense emotions after achieving the biggest victory of her career, continuing her dream run on the courts of London!
