Swiatek, despite her speed, was often a long way from Rybakina’s winners on Sunday, and Rybakina had consistent success hitting behind Swiatek and forcing her to change direction in a hurry. But this was their first meeting in a major tournament and could mark the start of a rivalry. Though Swiatek has been particularly dominant on clay with her heavy forehand and excellent movement, Rybakina clearly has the tools to pose trouble for anyone on the game’s faster surfaces. With her height and reach, she is able to handle Swiatek’s high-bouncing topspin and kick serve with greater ease than most opponents, and her pure ball striking can be overwhelming when she is on target. Nor has Rybakina been granted some of the perks that usually come with a Wimbledon title. But the numbers do not tell the whole story. “Of course I’m nervous,” Rybakina said.

Reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina surprised top seed Iga Swiatek with a powerful straight-sets victory to reach her first Australian Open ...

After falling behind 3-0 in the second set, Rybakina recovered and won six of the next seven games to finish off the upset. But Rybakina cracked another backhand return winner to break Swiatek again for 4-3, and the Kazakh was impenetrable on serve from there, finishing the opening frame with four aces as she swiped the one-set lead. Rybakina also had a win over Swiatek to look back on, even though it didn’t count in their official head-to-head. Rybakina possesses big-match confidence: The Kazakh already proved she could power her way to a Grand Slam title with her booming serve and tidy winners at Wimbledon last year. Rybakina had nine previous wins over Top 10 opposition on her resume, two of those coming at Grand Slams. Swiatek, though, was equally as impressive winning second-return points as she pulled back level at 2-2.

Iga Swiatek, the women's top seed, lost in straight sets to Elena Rybakina in the fourth round Sunday, while Jelena Ostapenko defeated Coco Gauff.

In the second set, Swiatek appeared to have gotten herself back on track, going up 3-0. In the next, Swiatek held two break points at 15-40 but failed to convert either. The WTA and ATP tours withheld all points at Wimbledon in 2022 after the All England Club barred players from Russia and Belarus from participating because of the invasion of Ukraine. I knew that I had to be aggressive from the first ball because she’s a great mover, and she defends really well,” Rybakina said. “I felt the pressure, and I felt that ‘I don’t want to lose’ instead of ‘I want to win.’” “So I was trying to just attack her from the first ball, and it really worked well.” In the opening game, Swiatek led 40-love but got broken. “It’s just one of those days that just didn’t go my way and went her way.” Until Sunday, both Swiatek and Gauff looked fairly dominant for a week, winning every set they contested. So there will not be a showdown between Swiatek and No. 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka vs. 15 Jannik Sinner, and No.
