Iga Swiatek advanced to the semifinals after a notable victory 6-2, 7-5 over Liudmila Samsonova in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. The Pole had an impressive first set and then had to overcome an improved Samsonova to secure the win in straight sets.

With eight-time Wimbledon winner Roger Federer sitting in the front row of the Royal Box, very little went right at the outset for the 38-year-old Djokovic on the grass below during a breezy afternoon with the temperature in the 60s Fahrenheit (teens Celsius), a week after matches were contested in record-breaking heat.

Mirra Andreeva was the last person on Centre Court to realize she had won her fourth-round match against Emma Navarro on Monday, a result that made her the youngest woman since 2007 to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

The bottom half of the women’s draw features six seeded players, with Iga Swiatek facing Clara Tauson and Mirra Andreeva meeting Emma Navarro in fourth-round action.

Andreeva, who celebrated her 18th birthday in April, is off to a lightning start to her career and her game insights are already widely praised. However, just as Federer was in his earliest days on the Tour, she is no stranger to losing it on the court at times.

Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek is being fuelled by strawberries and pasta in her bid to win Wimbledon for the first time.

The surprising results continued on Day 6 of the women’s singles at Wimbledon. Mirra Andreeva, 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, and Iga Swiatek all played their third-round matches.
