Swiatek Reaches Wimbledon Third Round With Comeback

Iga Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former world No.1, has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon after a comeback win against American Caty McNally in three sets. Swiatek previously defeated Polina Kudermetova in the first round despite extreme heat and challenging conditions. With this third-round appearance, she joins Amélie Mauresmo and Serena Williams as one of only three women this century to reach the third round or better in 22 or more Grand Slam tournaments. Swiatek continues to improve her performance on grass, a surface she is still adapting to, and remains the highest-ranked woman left following the exit of several American players. Her resilience and adaptability have been evident in her recent matches. Swiatek is aiming for her first semifinal at the All England Club.
