Iga Świątek falls to Alexanda Eala in Wimbledon third round

Iga Świątek was eliminated from the 2026 Wimbledon Championships on July 4, losing to Alexanda Eala in the third round. The World No. 3's title defense ended after a match that concluded 7-6(9), 6-2 in favor of Eala. This defeat extends Świątek's slump after not winning a title since September 2025. The Polish player has struggled throughout the season, failing to reach a tour-level final and only achieving a semifinal finish at the 2026 Italian Open. Świątek recently changed coaches, hiring Francisco Roig, but her performance has not significantly improved. Following her Wimbledon exit, she faces challenges defending her title at the Cincinnati Open next month.
