Aryna Sabalenka reaches Wimbledon semifinals while Queen Camilla sits in Royal Box.
Sabalenka, a Belarusian who is seeded second at the All England Club, had to sit out last year’s competition along with other players from her country and from Russia because of the war in Ukraine. She advanced Wednesday by beating Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 on No. 1 Court.“It really feels amazing to be back in the semifinals. I can’t wait to play in my second semifinal at Wimbledon,” said Sabalenka, who lost to runner-up Karolina Pliskova in 2021. “Hopefully I can do better than I did last time.
Another player who was banned last year, Daniil Medvedev, reached the semifinals in the men’s tournament. The second-seeded Russian beat American player Chris Eubanks 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6 6-1 on the same court. Sabalenka’s victory improved her record to 17-1 at major tournaments this year. She won the Australian Open and reached the semifinals at the French Open before her five wins so far on the grass at Wimbledon.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
