Aryna Sabalenka Vs Laura Siegemund, Wimbledon Quarter-Final: Top Seed Battles Past German

Aryna Sabalenka trailed by a set, then twice was down a break in the third before grabbing the last three games to reach the Wimbledon women's singles semi-finals by overcoming 104th-ranked Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 at Centre Court on Tuesday (July 8, 2025). Sabalenka, No. 1 since last October, never has been to a title match at the All England Club, the only Grand Slam tournament where that’s the case. She won the Australian Open twice and the U.S. Open once, and was the runner-up at this year’s Australian Open (losing to Madison Keys) and French Open (losing to Coco Gauff). The 27-year-old Belarusian lost in the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2021 and 2023. On Thursday, she gets a third chance in that round. Sabalenka will meet No. 13 seed Amanda Anisimova.
