The Iga Swiatek winning machine broke down on a lush Wimbledon lawn on Saturday as the world number one and red-hot favourite for the title was comprehensively beaten 6-4 6-2 by France's Alize Cornet.

There was a sense of disbelief on Court One as Poland's Swiatek, who had won her last 37 matches over four months, was outplayed by the unseeded 32-year-old.

Cornet is playing in her 62nd successive major, equalling Ai Sugiyama's record, and will face unseeded Australian Ajla Tomljanovic in a bid to reach her second Grand Slam quarter-final this year, having never achieved that before. "I live for this kind of match. It really drives me. I knew I could do it and I had belief because maybe Iga feels a little less comfortable on grass than other surfaces."
