The three-time Grand Slam champion battled past World No. 104 Laura Siegemund of Germany to produce a come-from-behind 4-6 6-2 6-4 win in just under three hours. Sabalenka is through to the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tennis\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Wimbledon 2025<\/a> semifinal, where she will face either Anisimova or Pavlyuchenkova. After the match, Sabalenka revealed how she was ready to pack her bags and leave London midway.<\/p><p>It was a disastrous start for the top seed, who hadn&rsquo;t dropped a set en route to the QF stage. Siegemund went up a double break, before the Belarusian settled into the contest. As both players traded blows, the 37-year-old German finally held her nerve to close out the first set 6-4. In the second set, the defending US Open champion began winning the 50-50 games.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CLOSE MATCH &#128064; No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. Laura Siegemund &#128293; FULL HIGHLIGHTS | Wimbledon 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eItxTaCpFCo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Reducing the number of unforced errors and staying in the rallies for longer proved to be the magical code for Sabalenka. She dominated Siegemund to send the match into a decider. However, the lack of patience returned to haunt her in the deciding set. The unseeded veteran, a former Grand Slam and Olympic quarterfinalist, kept breaking serve and racing ahead.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&ldquo;She Pushed Me So Much&rdquo;: Sabalenka<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aryna Sabalenka after beating Siegemund to reach Wimbledon SF<br><br>&ldquo;I need some time to cool down and recover.

Siegemund played a masterful game on Tuesday &ndash; varying her drives, slices and drops. She kept the World No. 1 on her toes and did not let her take control of the encounter. But at 4-5, the German played a poor service game to concede the game and match. As Sabalenka huffed and puffed after completing a narrow win, Centre Court stood up to applaud one of the great grass court performances by Laura Siegemund.<\/p><p>&ldquo;That was a real task,&rdquo; said the now three-time Wimbledon semifinalist. &ldquo;Honestly, I need some time to cool down and recover after this match.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
