Athletistic/Tennis. Two-time Grand Slam mixed doubles champion Andrei Olkhovsky said he was surprised by world number one Iga Swiatek’s defeat to Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva in the third round of Wimbledon.

“Swiatek’s defeat was a surprise. She may not be as confident on grass as she is on clay, but she is a leader in world women’s tennis. Putintseva played very well, she has quick feet and she followed the ball a lot,” Olkhovsky said.

The match ended with a score of 3:6, 6:1, 6:2 in favor of Putintseva. In the fourth round, she will face Latvian representative Jelena Ostapenko. The match is scheduled for July 8.
