WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Top-ranked Iga Swiatek has moved into the fourth round at Wimbledon by dispatching 30th-seeded Petra Martic 6-2, 7-5. That’s significant because she exited the grass-court tournament in the third round a year ago. She says this year, “it’s just a totally different chapter.” The four-time Grand Slam champion can reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal when she faces 14th-seeded Belinda Bencic on Sunday. Second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka also won. Caroline Garcia of France became the highest-seeded woman to exit the grass-court tournament. The fifth-seeded player lost to 32nd-seeded Marie Bouzkova in the third round.
