CENTRE COURT, THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB — Mirra Andreeva, the 18-year-old Russian, was determined to cast one of her spells over Wimbledon and turn the All England Club into another of her party spaces. Belinda Bencic shut it down.

Belinda Bencic very honestly stated that Iga Swiatek didn't allow her to get into their Wimbledon match "for just one second" and therefore she had no regrets because her rival was simply too perfect in every department.

Iga Swiatek has reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova that went from a stroll to a bit of a struggle in the late stages.
