The Wimbledon 2025 women’s singles semifinals are electrifying Centre Court today, with top seed Aryna Sabalenka facing off against Amanda Anisimova, and five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek taking on Belinda Bencic in a thrilling fight for a spot in the final. With early exits of top seeds like Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, the Championships (June 30 – July 13, 2025) are guaranteed a new champion, making this penultimate round a defining moment.

Sabalenka vs. Anisimova: A Power-Packed Showdown

The first semifinal features World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, a three-time Grand Slam champion, against 23-year-old American Amanda Anisimova, who dreams of becoming the first American woman in a Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2019. Sabalenka has been in top form, powering past Britain’s Emma Raducanu 7-6(8), 6-4 in the third round and Laura Siegemund in the quarterfinals. Yet, Anisimova stunned fans by clinching the first set 6-4 with her aggressive baseline play and resilience.

Sabalenka, reaching her third Wimbledon semifinal, holds a 2-0 head-to-head edge over Anisimova, including a 2024 Australian Open victory. Her formidable serve and forehand position her as a title favorite, despite a recent French Open final loss. Anisimova, seeded No. 13, has defied odds after a career hiatus, riding high after upsetting Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals. Her passion for art adds an inspiring layer to her journey.

As of 7:40 PM IST, the match is intensely competitive, with Anisimova’s early lead pressuring Sabalenka in the second set under Centre Court’s brilliant sunshine. X posts are abuzz, with fans split between an Anisimova upset and Sabalenka’s experience prevailing.

Swiatek vs. Bencic: A Clash of Consistency and Comeback

The second semifinal pits World No. 8 Iga Swiatek against Belinda Bencic, the first Swiss woman in a Wimbledon semifinal since Martina Hingis in 1998. Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam winner, has mastered grass, defeating No. 19 Liudmila Samsonova 6-2, 7-5 in the quarterfinals with just one set dropped. Her 3-1 head-to-head lead over Bencic, including a 2023 Wimbledon thriller, gives her a slight edge.

Ranked No. 14, Bencic stunned 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva in straight sets (7-6(7-3), 7-6(7-2)) in the quarterfinals, showcasing her versatility. Her emotional fourth-round win over Ekaterina Alexandrova marked her first Wimbledon quarterfinal in nine attempts, reflecting resilience after injuries. Bencic’s all-court game and improved serve will challenge Swiatek’s baseline mastery.

X sentiment is divided, with fans cheering Bencic’s fairytale run and others praising Swiatek’s grass-court evolution. “I hope Belinda can make it, but Iga is surprising many this tournament,” one user posted.
