Defending women’s singles champion Iga Swiatek was absolutely stunned by former French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko as the world No. 1 suffered a 6-3, 3-6, 1-6 loss in the round of 16 match of the 2023 US Open at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. 2023 marks the eighth consecutive year in the WTA field where the defending champion has failed to reach the final, let alone retain the trophy, with the legendary Serena Williams being the last player during her three-straight trophy hauls between 20012 and 2014.
