- Belarusian wins 6-2, 6-4 to reach second semi at Wimbledon
- ‘Since I was little I was dreaming about Wimbledon title’
Aryna Sabalenka powered into the semi-finals at Wimbledon on Wednesday with a 6-2, 6-4 victory against the American Madison Keys. The Belarusian second seed, who won her first grand slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year, romped through the first set but had to recover from 4-2, 40-0 down in the second to clinch victory.
A semi-finalist here two years ago, Sabalenka will now take on either Elena Rybakina, the 2022 winner here, or the runner-up 12 months ago, Ons Jabeur. If she reaches the final she will also become world No 1 for the first time.
