Defending champion Iga Swiatek was knocked out of the third round of Wimbledon after a 7-6(9) 6-2 loss to rising Filipina Alexandra Eala at the All England Club on Saturday.

Last year's triumph ended years of questions about Swiatek's ability to excel on grass but the Polish third seed came up short in a fierce battle against 29th seed Eala and was left stunned on Centre Court.
