The women’s singles tournament at Wimbledon is reaching its climax, with the semifinal matches set to take place on Thursday. The last four competitors vying for a coveted spot in the championship match are Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Świątek, and Belinda Bencic, all of whom will step onto the iconic Center Court.
Semifinal Matchup Details
This year’s tournament has seen its share of surprises, notably with last year’s champion, Barbora Krejčíková, exiting in the third round after a defeat to Emma Navarro. As a result, the remaining players are all eager to seize their opportunity to claim a first Wimbledon title.
In the first semifinal, the top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka faces No. 13 seed Amanda Anisimova. Sabalenka, hailing from Belarus, is looking to secure her 21st career singles title, marking her first win since the Madrid Open in May. Anisimova, on the other hand, will be aiming for her fourth career singles title, which would include her first Grand Slam victory. The match is set to commence at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The second semifinal pits No. 8 seed Iga Świątek against unseeded Belinda Bencic, who has shown tenacity throughout the tournament. Świątek has displayed remarkable form, winning 10 out of her 11 sets decisively and aiming for her 22nd WTA singles title, which would further solidify her legacy alongside her previous Grand Slam victories. Bencic, currently ranked 34th by the WTA, has had a challenging path to the semifinals, showcasing her resilience during tightly-contested matches, including an upset over No. 7 seed Mirra Andreeva to reach this stage. This match is scheduled to begin at 9:40 a.m. ET.
