The Belgian player created the feat by defeating the defending champion, number three world.

«
                        It's the best game of my career
                    
! She exclaimed. "
                        Especially since it was in a Grand Slam
. Alison Van Uytvanck (WTA 47) was in Wonderland on Thursday night at Wimbledon, having achieved the formidable feat of eliminating Garbine Muguruza (WTA 3), the defending champion. On court # 2, at dusk, the Grimbergeoise, 24, played like a dream against the Spanish to win 5-7, 6-2 and 6-1 and climb to the third round.

"
                        It's nice to play like that

                    She explained. "
                        Also, there was a great atmosphere with people chanting 'Alison, Alison' in the stands. It's been several times that I was close to beating a Top 10 player, Wozniacki in Rome, Goerges at Roland Garros, and Kasatkina at Eastbourne, but I had never been there before. I thought I was able to display this level of play, I had in any case already shown in training. I was confident and knew that I should be aggressive, otherwise I would not have a chance. And I played very, very well. I was in my bubble and every bullet I hit was in the court
.

And so Alison Van Uytvanck for the first time in her third round at Wimbledon. His feat did not go unnoticed, a British journalist went so far as to ask if the fact of having come out recently – she is in a relationship with the player from Limburg Greet Minnen – had a positive trigger. On Saturday, she will face Estonian Anett Kontaveit (WTA 27), 22, who defeated USA's Jennifer Brady (WTA 74) 6-2, 7-6 (7/4).

"
                        I do not think that has changed anything. We just decided not to keep it for ourselves. I'm happy anyway, whether with a woman or a man. And I do not think I should be ashamed. I am not sick. I just think it was good to say that I was a bad

                    Replied the Brabanconne, who did not even know whom she would play on the next turn. "
                        Kontaveit is a very good player, who serves well and has good shots. I remember playing it in juniors, but after that I do not know anymore. We'll see. I want to savor first

                    She concludes
