Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina celebrates victory against Poland's Iga Swiatek after their women's singles match on day seven of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 22, 2023. - AFPPIX: World number one Iga Swiatek was dumped out of the Australian Open in the fourth round by Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, reported the German Press Agency .
Rybakina dropped only six points on her first serve during the match and recovered from 3-0 down against a frustrated Swiatek. Although it is a big shock, Swiatek is not as dominant on hard courts as she is on clay and, although she has talked here of not expecting herself to win every match, it is clear the Pole finds it difficult to temper those expectations.
Swiatek, who had received a warning before the start for taking too long to be ready to play, pulled back to 2-2 but the flatter hitting of Rybakina was paying dividends on a warm, sunny day in Melbourne and she forged ahead again to lead 4-3 and took the opening set.
