Switzerland 39;s Belinda Bencic stunned teenager Mirra Andreeva in a tense match to reach a maiden semi-final at Wimbledon, where she will face eighth seed Iga Swiatek .
Bencic was able to outlast Mirra Andreeva in two tiebreakers in the quarterfinals, but the Russian only broke serve once in that match, which is not a luxury Bencic will be able to rely on against Swiatek, who is one of the best defensive players in the sport.
Mirra Andreeva was the last person on Centre Court to realize she beat Emma Navarro, a result that made her the youngest woman in 18 years to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
