After a torrid quarter-final against Laura Siegemund during which Sabalenka was taken into a bygone era and subjected to a barrage of chips, chops and drop shots, the top seed will welcome a meeting with fellow big-hitter Anisimova.

Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, Taylor Fritz, and Amanda Anisimova advanced to Wimbledon 2025 semifinals on a dramatic Day 9. Grigor Dimitrov retired while leading Sinner. He was visibly in tears after he was forced to retire with an injury.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka marched into the Wimbledon quarter-finals without dropping a set as Elise Mertens fell short of upsetting the US Open champion on Sunday. Sabalenka has never reached a final at the All England Club but is the player to beat as the only one of the top six seeds in the women's draw still standing.
