A five-star performance 🌟 @ElinaSvitolina defeats the world No.1 Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 to reach the semi-finals at #Wimbledon once again
Swiatek set to hit new ranking milestone, set to be tied in top 10 most weeks spent as World No.1

Poland’s Iga Swiatek is set to enter another week as the women’s world number one player.
The 22-year-old faced an exit from Wimbledon 2023 in the quarterfinals after losing to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina with a score of 7-5, 6-7, 6-2.
Many feared that her reign as the top women’s player will come to an end after that result, especially with her closer rivals still competing in the tournament.
However, the world number two Aryna Sabalenka, who just needed to qualify for the final of the third Grand Slam of the year to become the world number one, ended up losing the semifinal against Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.
That result helped Swiatek in continuing her reign as the number one women’s player in the world for the 10th consecutive week.
The Warsaw-born will return to action next week in her hometown where she will have an opportunity to tighten the grip on the top spot.
Her closest rival Sabalenka will be in action in the Canadian Open next month which means that she might have even more ground to cover when she will resume on-court action.
Despite the quarterfinal exit, it was still Swiatek’s best outing in Wimbledon and she will be hoping to improve it further next year.
