Swiatek Reaches First Wimbledon Semifinal

Iga Swiatek reached her first Wimbledon semifinal after defeating Liudmila Samsonova 6-2, 7-5. Swiatek, who has won four French Open titles and one US Open, has historically struggled on grass but demonstrated improved form and confidence at this year's Wimbledon. The Polish star has returned to the world's top four and overcame Samsonova's late surge by capitalizing on unforced errors and maintaining strong first-serve statistics. Swiatek expressed pride in her progress and noted the challenge of playing consecutive matches without a rest day. Despite consistent deep runs this season, she has not yet claimed a title in 2025. She will face either Mirra Andreeva or Belinda Bencic in the semifinals, with a possible final against Aryna Sabalenka.
