- Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus survived a three-hour match against Germany's Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals on Tuesday at Centre Court in London.
- Sabalenka fell behind by a set and twice by a break in the last set, at one point thinking she should "book the tickets" to leave due to the tough challenge Siegemund posed.
- Siegemund disrupted Sabalenka’s power game by mixing drop shots, short returns, and low-velocity serves, forcing Sabalenka to run and adapt her strategy on grass.
- Sabalenka clinched the win by breaking to start her final run, delivering two aces including one at 103 mph, and finishing with a volley winner, while acknowledging Siegemund’s effort and the crowd's support.
- Sabalenka’s victory returns her to the Wimbledon semifinals, where she aims to advance further after previous semifinal losses; Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz also reached the men's semifinals, continuing the tournament’s competitive intensity.
