No. 3 seed Elina Svitolina became the latest upset victim in the Wimbledon women’s draw when she lost in the second round on Thursday to Magda Linette of Poland, who earned the biggest victory of her career, 6-3, 6-4.
Linette had 28 winners to just eight for Svitolina, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon two years ago. Linette, ranked 44th, had never before beaten a Top-15 player in a completed match. “I think mentally today I was not really in a good place,” said Svitolina.
