It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.

There’s also a range of doubles matches scheduled for day 11, with Brit Joe Salisbury teaming with Luisa Stefani to take on the team of Sam Verbeek and Katerina Siniakova in the mixed doubles final.

The balls kept on listening to Iga Swiatek on Wednesday as the Polish eighth seed walloped Liudmila Samsonova 6-2 7-5 to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time.

Iga Swiatek booked her second last-eight spot at Wimbledon and also pulled off a Maria Sharapova Grand Slam feat. On Monday, the fourth-seeded Pole dropped a total of five games en route to overcoming Clara Tauson 6-4 6-1.
