A high-stakes Wimbledon quarterfinal as World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka faces Laura Siegemund.
Top seed Aryna Sabalenka continues her hunt for a first Wimbledon crown as she faces Germany’s Laura Siegemund in the 2025 quarterfinals. Sabalenka has been a force this season, while Siegemund, more successful in doubles, arrives as the underdog with nothing to lose. With styles that couldn’t be more different, raw power versus tactical finesse, this matchup promises to be one of the more intriguing contrasts of the second week at SW19.
Aryna Sabalenka has won 23 of the last 25 matches she’s played in Grand Slams.

Aryna Sabalenka has been in blistering form, with a 42-8 record across 50 matches this season. Outside of early exits in Doha and Dubai, the Belarusian has gone deep at nearly every tournament she’s entered. Titles in Brisbane, Miami, and Madrid, plus runner-up finishes at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Stuttgart, and Roland Garros, reflect her consistency. She also reached the Rome quarterfinals and the Berlin semifinals.
The numbers back the power she brings to the court. Sabalenka has struck 171 aces, winning 67.3% of points behind her first serve and converting 48.1% of her break-point chances. But perhaps the most telling stat is her 47.4% return points won. Heading into the quarterfinals, she looks every bit like the title contender her ranking suggests.

Laura Siegemund hasn’t found much rhythm in singles this season, but she’s stayed sharp on the doubles court, winning Nottingham and reaching finals in Adelaide alongside Beatriz Haddad Maia. Her singles stats are modest: just 10 aces and a 59.4% first-serve points won rate. Still, her crafty all-court game shows in her 32.2% break-point conversion. She may not bring brute force, but she brings brains, and that could test even the steadiest opponent.
Age is just a number! 🍷

Sabalenka leads Siegemund 2-0 in their head-to-head. Their last meeting came more than five years ago in 2019, when the Belarusian won both matches with ease, winning four games across Fed Cup and Strasbourg. While a lot has changed since then, Sabalenka’s power and dominance have only grown, and she’ll enter this one with both confidence and history on her side.
The quarterfinal clash between Aryna Sabalenka and Laura Siegemund is scheduled for July 8, with play set to begin at 8:30 AM ET. Fans can expect this match to feature early in the day’s Centre Court lineup, making for a lively start to the second week at Wimbledon.
