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

Italian Flavio Cobolli after his loss to Djokovic said he had spoken to the Polish five-time Slam champion, and asked her 'What have you done' after leaving SW 19 gasping with her strawberry add-on. Turns out,

The two players have met four times before, with Swiatek leading the head-to-head 4-1. Their last meeting was at SW19 in 2023, at the round of 16 stage, and it was the former world number one who secured the victory, winning 6-7 7-6 6-3.

Before this year, there was no love lost between Iga Swiatek and the grass courts of Wimbledon. So what if it was called the spiritual home of lawn tennis?
