By IANS News July 09, 2025 • 20:42 PM View: 368

Iga Swiatek: Iga Swiatek’s long-anticipated grass-court breakthrough finally arrived on Wednesday as the No. 8 seed powered past Liudmila Samsonova 6-2, 7-5 to book her place in the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time in her career.

Playing on No. 1 Court, the five-time Grand Slam champion produced a commanding display against Samsonova, a first-time major quarterfinalist. Swiatek took 1 hour and 49 minutes to seal her fifth straight victory over the 19th-seeded Russian, extending her unbeaten head-to-head record to 5-0 as per WTA.

Swiatek, who has spent a total of 125 weeks as World No. 1, now becomes just the fourth active player to reach the semifinals of all four Grand Slams, joining Aryna Sabalenka, Victoria Azarenka, and Karolina Pliskova.
