Despite the fact that she was the world No. 1 for over a year, Iga Swiatek had never made it beyond the quarterfinals at Wimbledon – until this year. Swiatek, now ranked No. 8, will face No. 35 Belinda Bencic at the semi-finals this Thursday where they will meet on Centre Court.

Belinda Bencic looks to finish her improbable run to the 2025 Wimbledon tennis finals with a Thursday semifinal against No. 8 seed Iga Swiatek.

Swiatek defeated Liudmila Samsonova in the quarterfinals, leading her to the semifinals, 6-2, 7-5. She currently ranks fourth in the women's singles. Meanwhile, Bencic defeated Mirra Andreeva by winning both tie breaks to earn her spot against Swiatek. She now ranks 35th in the women's singles.
