In the first women’s quarterfinal at Wimbledon 2025, Aryna Sabalenka found herself on the brink of defeat against world No. 104 Laura Siegemund. But the top seed stayed composed, summoned her trademark intensity when it mattered most, and clawed her way into the semifinals with a gritty 4-6 6-2 6-4 victory.
Playing her first quarterfinal at Wimbledon, Siegemund stormed to a 3-0 lead with a double break in just 15 minutes. Sabalenka responded with a love break to get one of the breaks back, but after three tightly contested deuce games, Siegemund reestablished her double break advantage.
