Rybakina and Swiatek Exit Wimbledon as Sabalenka Gains Edge

Elena Rybakina became the highest seed to exit the tournament so far after a straight-set third-round loss to Elise Mertens. Iga Swiatek also suffered a surprising defeat, ending her campaign prematurely.

These results significantly clear the path for Aryna Sabalenka in the pursuit of the title.
