Sabalenka eliminated Wimbledon 2025 and advanced to the semifinals

Aryna Sabalenka (1st) He wants to demonstrate the world and, above all, to herself there are no mountains too high for her. That is able to overcome each obstacle to reaching the top. And that knows how to get up even when it seems to be against the strings. When you have to activate survival mode, you can also respond as expected. That was what he did to recover from a moment of great confusion – more tennistic than numerical – and beaten Laura Siegemund (105th) 4-6, 6-2 and 6-4 in 2h54m in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

During the first set, the expected story took a turn: the German became a real titiritera. He took the strings of the game and handled his rival at will. Far from entering the frontal exchange from the bottom, he executed his plan perfectly: he did not offer references, he varied precisely and added points in multiple ways. Surgical drops, Slices Well placed (both of Drive and reverse), surprising increases to the network and a remarkable ability to punish the second opposite serve made the difference.

Given that scenario, Sabalenka had no choice but to reset. Without giving up its essence -power from the baseline -began to better choose the moments to accelerate. Not every one of his balls went to all or nothing. He incorporated other resources and achieved greater control. Thus, he took over the second set. The 6-2, yes, was something misleading: several Games were defined by minimum details and after extensive exchanges.

With the equalized score, only the last kilometers of the tour remained: the road to the semifinals or to the airport. In the third partial, Siegemund returned to its most combative version, broke early and advanced 2-1. Sabalenka, something limited in her mobility, suffered when returning. It alternated errors not forced with successes that did not reach to balance. But you never have to give up on the No. 1 of the world. Not even in the worst conditions – sometimes Break was down – or when he does not find his competitive climax. And, once again, he opted for the impossible, turned the scoreboard and secured his place among the four best.

Now, he will wait for the winner of the duel between the American Amanda Anisimova (12th) and the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (50th). The native of Minsk knows that he perspired a lot to get here. And that another performance with ups and downs could leave it out. However, the essential thing is that your dream of lifting the trophy in the cathedral is still more alive than ever.
