With a big smile on her face, Belinda Bencic left the Centre Court after being eliminated by Iga Swiatek in the semifinals of Wimbledon 2025, a tournament where she has shown that she still has a lot of tennis to compete at the highest level. The Swiss player will climb 15 spots in the next WTA Ranking update to be ranked number twenty in the world.

Undoubtedly, Bencic has been one of the positive surprises of this edition of the British Grand Slam. Minutes after a tough defeat against Swiatek, Belinda confessed in a press conference if she expected the semifinal match to be this way, as well as the conclusions she draws from the tournament.

"Today, Iga displayed a different level, played very well, and didn't let me into the match for a second. I gave my best. I am very proud of this tournament, I have no regrets today. In the end, she was just too good, and I was a step below. I am very happy with the tournament; I will surely have time to reflect. I am also very motivated for the upcoming tournaments."

Eager to continue in this dynamic

"Without a doubt, I take many positive things. I was in a very good mental state during this tournament. I didn't feel like I was playing brilliant tennis in all my matches, which gives me a bit more confidence than if I were on fire. If I can win matches without playing my best tennis, that gives me more confidence, and I definitely want to take advantage of it. I have achieved my goal of returning to the top 20. I am very motivated to keep climbing in the rankings and play my upcoming tournaments."

Swiatek's tennis

"Honestly, I'm not sure what I could have done better against Iga. I definitely felt that she was in a great moment. I will watch the match again and also discuss with my team what I could have done differently, but maybe I would have had to play the best tennis of my life and risk every shot to defeat her today considering how she played. She was very fast, very precise, and served very well. She didn't let me into the match. She didn't let me play my game."

What has improved in your game?

"I feel like my forehand is constantly improving. It is definitely a goal, something we are working on, and overall, my ability to stay in the points and see what works best against each opponent. I think I can adapt my game a lot and try to find ways to win."
