Tunisia's Ons Jabeur suffered a shock Wimbledon third round exit as the two-time runner-up was beaten 6-1, 7-6 (7/4) by Ukrainian 21st seed Elina Svitolina on Saturday.


Jabeur had reached the previous two Wimbledon finals, but the 10th seed's hopes of making three in a row were dashed in stunning fashion on Centre Court.


The 29-year-old's wait for a first Grand Slam title goes on after her earliest Wimbledon exit since 2019.


Svitolina's reward for her victory in one hour and 20 minutes is a last 16 clash with China's Wang Xinyu.
