Belinda Bencic Stuns Mirra Andreeva to Reach Wimbledon Semifinals

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 9 – Belinda Bencic won in two tiebreaks overcoming physical pain to reach her first Wimbledon semi-final, becoming the first Swiss woman in the last four since 1998, officials said.

  • On July 9, 2025, Belinda Bencic defeated Mirra Andreeva in two tight sets, both decided by tiebreaks, to secure her first-ever semi-final appearance at Wimbledon.
  • Bencic returned from maternity leave in late 2024 after giving birth to daughter Bella, rebuilding her career while overcoming injury and ranking setbacks.
  • The match featured two tight tiebreaks with no service breaks in the first 21 games, and Bencic managed just 24 unforced errors versus Andreeva’s 37.
  • Bencic said, "It's crazy, it's unbelievable, it's a dream come true," and credited her family and team for their hard work on her comeback.
  • By reaching the semi-finals, Bencic became the first Swiss woman since Martina Hingis in 1998 to do so at Wimbledon, advancing to face Iga Swiatek next.
