Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, Taylor Fritz, and Amanda Anisimova advanced to Wimbledon 2025 semifinals on a dramatic Day 9. Grigor Dimitrov retired while leading Sinner. He was visibly in tears after he was forced to retire with an injury.

The other semifinal features two prominent names in women’s tennis — Iga Świątek (No. 8 seed) and Bencic (who upset 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva, the No. 7 seed). This is as far as Świątek and Bencic have made it at Wimbledon, and the Swiss player has done it just over a year after having a daughter, Bella.

After a torrid quarter-final against Laura Siegemund during which Sabalenka was taken into a bygone era and subjected to a barrage of chips, chops and drop shots, the top seed will welcome a meeting with fellow big-hitter Anisimova.
