It's never too late if happiness is good. Laura Siegemund is shattering all imaginable predictions at Wimbledon 2025, reaching the quarterfinals and showcasing superb grass-court tennis. Her prodigious hand, great mobility, and experience make the German a formidable rival for anyone. She will now face Aryna Sabalenka.
If there is something that captivates any tennis fan, it's the stories of athletes who have devoted their whole lives to their profession, achieving few moments of glory and media recognition. Laura Siegemund has never stopped fighting to keep her individual career at a high level, having been a Grand Slam champion up to three times (1 in doubles and 2 in mixed doubles) as well as a WTA Finals champion in doubles. At 37, a joy like that of Wimbledon 2025 seemed impossible, but here she is.
- Proud and surprised by what she is doing and eager for more at Wimbledon 2025
"I would never have believed I would reach the quarterfinals here, especially at this stage of my career. Anyway, tennis is sometimes very simple, pure mathematics. It's about finding good tactical solutions and executing them correctly. I have always had the audacity to face strong opponents in important settings. I don't care who is on the other side; all I do is analyze their game and focus on myself," the German commented.
"I am very proud of my level, but I try not to get too excited because I feel I still have work to do, and I am a professional. Perhaps I won't be able to fully appreciate this result until the event is over because I want to stay focused on my work. I know I still have things to improve, and I will need to do so if I want to keep this dream alive," explained the German, who is stepping into a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the second time, having done so at Roland Garros 2020.
- Unexpected breakout on grass
"My favorite surface has always been clay, and every year, I would maximize that swing and arrive on grass with little time to adapt. I always felt that just when I was getting used to playing on grass, the tournaments would end. I truly believe I have good conditions for playing on grass because I volley well, enjoy playing slices, and changing rhythms. This year, I was able to train a lot and performed well in Nottingham, which gave me a lot of confidence," she commented.
- Annoying playing style for opponents and on-court personality
"I don't base my way of playing or being on the court on the goal of upsetting the opponent; that simply happens with many of them. My style is very unusual, and that makes most people not like it. I have always had a lot of variety in my tennis, but I have also managed to increase the aggressiveness of my shots from the baseline," she said before addressing the numerous disputes she has had with opponents.
"I can assure you that I do not seek confrontation with my rivals, but I know I have quite controversial habits, such as the time I take between points or my non-verbal language. I do it for myself, I am consistent with myself, and I do not change my behavior based on who is on the other side or the context," argued a Laura Siegemund who seeks to cause a historic upset against Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2025.
