Defending Champion beaten in Wimbledon

Defending champion Iga Swiatek ((pron: ee-ga sh-ve-on-teck)) has been beaten in straight sets at Wimbledon - paving the way for a new winner.

She lost to Alexandra Eala of the Philippines, who described her 7-6, 6-2 victory as the greatest of her career.

Elsewhere, Arthur Fery - the last remaining British player in the singles draw - has work to do if he's to progress to the fourth round.

He's two sets to one down against Belgium's Zizou Bergs ((pron: zee-zoo bergs)).

Serena Williams has confirmed she won't be taking part in this year's doubles tournament with her sister Venus.

She's posted pictures on social media of her knee covered in bandages after picking up an injury earlier this week.
