She still has a long way to go before the final, but whatever happens from here, this was a crucial victory for the world No. 1.

Aryna Sabalenka was far from her best in the first set of her Wimbledon quarter-final against Laura Siegemund and the world No.1 showed her frustrations.

Iga Swiatek just added another shiny trophy to her growing collection, winning her sixth Grand Slam in what might be the most dominant performance of her career so far. In the Wimbledon final, she barely broke a sweat as she took down Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday.

Aryna Sabalenka was dragged into a bygone era on Tuesday and tormented for almost three hours on Wimbledon’s Centre Court before finally imposing her 21st-century power game to beat mesmeric Laura Siegemund for a place in the semi-finals.

With his current unbeaten run across all events at 22, Alcaraz came back to beat No. 14 seed Andrey Rublev 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 at Centre Court to return to the quarterfinals.
