The number one player was pushed to the limit by the unique playing style of the German, who unsettled her from the first point, but she managed to hold on and secure a spot in the Wimbledon semifinals.

For the first time in her career, the Swiss player will compete in the Wimbledon quarterfinals: "On the court, I remain the same, still eager to win".
Clara Tauson can be proud of her role in this Wimbledon 2025, although she probably doesn't want to watch her last match again. Even though the scoreline isn't a disaster (6-4, 6-1), the reality is that the Dane never managed to reach the same level as Iga Swiatek, her conqueror in the quarterfinals. After the battle, the 22-year-old player described what it feels like to face Iga's best version.
"I played against one of the best players in the world, I didn't feel well, I could barely breathe. It's very difficult to play against Iga, if you want to defeat her, you have to be at 110%, today she seemed as if she was 30 years old, I didn't feel right. Maybe I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but I couldn't keep up with her legs, and my mind wasn't there either. The feeling is that it's impossible to beat her," she underscored with helplessness.

Like Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs did in 1973, in that mythical match that captivated an audience of over 90 million viewers, fifty years later, Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka want to recreate it. A new 'Battle of the Sexes' in this modern era to showcase the current level of men's and women's tennis embodied by two of the most charismatic players on the circuit.
This proposal was revealed by the Australian on social media, stating that it's an idea they've been considering for some time, could happen at the end of the season, and would involve special rules. For instance, Nick's court would be smaller, and he would only have one serve. "I'm really nervous because she's currently at the peak of her career, but I'm confident, I think I could outperform her," Canberra's player humorously assesses.

The Polish player, whom no one is talking about these days, has matched her best result at Wimbledon and threatens a storm: "Now I see that every process has its logic".
Andreeva reveals her reaction upon seeing Federer in the stands: "Oh no, why did I have to look...?"
Although the scoreboard may suggest it was a calm afternoon for Mirra Andreeva at Wimbledon (6-2, 6-3), the reality is that there was just one moment where the Russian lost focus in her match with Navarro. It happened towards the end of the match when she glanced into the stands and spotted Roger Federer. She humorously recounted this in the press conference minutes after securing her spot in the tournament's quarterfinals.
"Until the second set, I tried not to look at who was seated in the stands; I devoted all my attention to the court. But then, at 6-2 and serving for 5-1, I glanced at the Royal Box. In that moment, I thought, 'Oh no, why did I do that?'. Roger was very close, in the front rows, I think in the first one. He and his wife were the first people I saw. I kept telling myself, 'Why did I look over there?'. After that, I became super tense and nervous, although my opponent also created pressure by playing very well. But yes, in those two games, I made many more unforced errors. That's the price to pay for looking at the stands, so I'm happy to have overcome it and return to playing as I did at the beginning," shared Conchita Martínez's protégé.

Starting from the fact that expectations were not very high, we can assure that Iga Swiatek's grass court tour will no longer fall below remarkable. After reaching the final in Bad Homburg, the Polish player has now advanced to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, thus matching her best result in London. With a comfortable victory over Clara Tauson (6-4, 6-1), the former world No. 1 aims to seize the opportunity to achieve that title she has been pursuing for over a year on grass. In the quarterfinals, she will face Samsonova, a dangerous duel where predictions may say one thing and then, in practice, perhaps something else. We will find out in a couple of days.

Every Grand Slam brings us new stories, players who break their ceiling in these types of tournaments, although not always in the order one expects. In the case of Liudmila Samsonova, we can say that the path has indeed been building up in the right way, steadily but surely, landing in this Wimbledon in her first quarterfinals in the category. After defeating Jessica Bouzas, the Russian shared her impressions.
"These are my first quarterfinals, so it's very emotional. It was a tough match, she was playing incredibly on grass this week, I don't know how I managed to survive, honestly. My coach always told me I could play well on this surface, so that gave me confidence from the start. I'm gradually starting to understand who I am, what kind of player I am, putting together each piece to solve the puzzle. This result is the fruit of all these years of work," said the 26-year-old.
