The last four competitors in the women’s singles tournament at Wimbledon are set as the semifinalists take the court on Thursday. With spots in the championship match on the line, Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Świątek and Belinda Bencic will take the prestigious Center Court.
All four competitors will try to claim their first Wimbledon title after 2024 winner Barbora Krejčíková fell to Emma Navarro in the third round this year. No. 1 Sabalenka and No. 13 Anisimova will take the court first as the Belarusian looks to notch her 21st career singles title and her first since the Madrid Open in May. An upset for Anisimova means a step toward her fourth career singles title and first at a Grand Slam tournament.

No. 8 Świątek has been dominant so far in this tournament, winning 10 of 11 sets decisively in search of her 22nd WTA singles title and a sixth major to add to her four French Open titles, plus one US Open win. Switzerland’s unseeded Bencic has scraped her way to the semis in a tournament that has been marred by upsets. Apart from her first-round win over Alycia Parksa, Bencic has navigated a tightly-contested route to the semis, with two of her matches seeing a third set. She upset No. 7 Mirra Andreeva to advance to Thursday, and currently has a WTA ranking of 34.
