WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Top-ranked Iga Swiatek’s 37-match winning streak has ended with a straight-set loss to Alize Cornet in the third round at Wimbledon. Swiatek was coming off a title at the French Open but her play was filled with mistakes in the 6-4, 6-2 defeat against the 37th-ranked Cornet of France on Saturday. Swiatek made 33 unforced errors in the 1-hour, 33-minute contest at No. 1 Court on a windy afternoon. Cornet made only seven. Swiatek had been unbeaten since February and won her preceding six tournaments in a row. Amanda Anisimova eliminated Coco Gauff in a contest between two young Americans.
