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

Iga Swiatek has reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova that went from a stroll to a bit of a struggle in the late stages.
