Porsche Tennis Grand Prix: World No.35 Yulia Putintseva stormed back from a set deficit to stun World No.1 Iga Swiatek while No.21 seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine charged past two-time finalist Ons Jabeur in the third round of the women's singles action at the Wimbledon on Saturday.

Putintseva, champion at the Rothesay Classic two weeks ago, lost the first set but fought back strongly to win 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 and extended her win streak to eight matches after ending Swiatek's own streak at 21. The victory puts Putintseva into her first Round of 16 at Wimbledon and first at any major since making the 2020 US Open quarterfinals.

In a Centre Court clash between two of last year's top performers here, Svitolina charged past Jabeur of Tunisia 6-1, 7-6(4) to make the Round of 16.
