Swiatek takes on Bencic as Sabalenka goes up against Anisimova in semi-finals - The women’s semi-finals have arrived, with two big names aiming to set up a massive final

It may be discouraging for bettors that Anisimova lost to Sabalenka in straights at the French Open, but the conditions at Wimbledon should suit her more than the clay at Roland Garros.

SportsLine tennis expert Jose Onorato reveals his 2025 Wimbledon picks for Tuesday's women's singles quarterfinal between Laura Siegemund and Aryna Sabalenka

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek are each just one win away from a maiden Wimbledon final, but standing in their way are two resurgent forces-Amanda Anisimova and Belinda Bencic-both playing inspired tennis.

Last summer, Sabalenka, then-ranked No. 3, beat No. 6 Jessica Pegula in the first Cincinnati Open women's singles final featuring two top 10 opponents since 2017. Sabalenka and Pegula are tied for the most WTA titles this season with three each.

She still has a long way to go before the final, but whatever happens from here, this was a crucial victory for the world No. 1.

Aryna Sabalenka has sent a message to her Wimbledon rivals after surviving a huge scare against Laura Siegemund. The 37-year-old German troubled the world No. 1 with her clever slices and net game, but Sabalenka rallied to win five of the last six games, coming through 4-6 6-2 6-4.
