• World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka recovered from a first-set loss and a break down in the third to defeat Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in Tuesday’s quarterfinal.
• Fans on social media criticized Sabalenka’s on-court behavior, citing her loud grunting, eye rolls and ball-boy frustration during pivotal moments.
• In her post-match interview, Sabalenka corrected BBC’s Lee McKenzie, insisting she described Siegemund’s style as “smart” rather than “annoying.”
• American Amanda Anisimova beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 7-6(9) to reach her first Wimbledon semifinal since 2019 after returning from an indefinite mental-health hiatus.
• They will meet Thursday on Centre Court, with Sabalenka aiming to reach her first Wimbledon final and Anisimova seeking her inaugural grass-court major title match.
