Sabalenka Reaches Wimbledon Semis, Faces Anisimova Next

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka advanced to her third consecutive Wimbledon semifinal after defeating Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a hard-fought quarterfinal match. Sabalenka credited her resilience and improved mental strength to lessons learned from her French Open final loss to Coco Gauff. Her Wimbledon performance builds on her recent Grand Slam successes, including titles at the 2024 US Open and 2025 Australian Open. Off the court, Sabalenka has incorporated practice routines with Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, emulating their intensity and strategies. Media coverage of Sabalenka continues to face criticism for sexism, with Maria Sharapova highlighting inappropriate headlines. Sabalenka will next face 13th seed Amanda Anisimova for a spot in the Wimbledon final.
