World No.35 Yulia Putintseva stormed back from a set deficit to stun World No.1 Iga Swiatek while No.21 seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine charged past two-time finalist Ons Jabeur in the third round of the women`s singles action at the Wimbledon on Saturday.
Putintseva, champion at the Rothesay Classic two weeks ago, lost the first set but fought back strongly to win 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 and extended her win streak to eight matches after ending Swiatek`s own streak at 21. The victory puts Putintseva into her first Round of 16 at Wimbledon and first at any major since making the 2020 US Open quarterfinals.
