In a shocking upset, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek suffered a straight-sets defeat at the hands of Ukrainian tennis star Marta Kostyuk in the round of 16, a day after American rival Coco Gauff was also eliminated from the tournament. Swiatek, who had been dominating the women's tennis circuit, looked off her game as Kostyuk's powerful serves and precise volleys left her struggling to find her rhythm. The victory marks a significant upset for Kostyuk, who has been steadily climbing the rankings in recent months, and raises questions about Swiatek's vulnerability heading into the latter stages of the competition. With her title defense now in jeopardy, Swiatek will look to regroup and refocus for her next match.
