London: Iga Swiatek was dumped out of Wimbledon in straight sets today by French veteran Alize Cornet, ending the world number one’s 37-match winning streak.

'No words'
"I have no words right now - it reminds me of the time I beat Serena [Williams] on the same court eight years ago exactly. This court is a lucky charm for me. I am a huge fan of Iga [Swiatek], she's so talented and an amazing player and nice ambassador of women's tennis so I'm very flattered I beat her today," said Cornet.
