Day 11 at Wimbledon 2025 delivered drama and dominance, with Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova advancing to the women’s final, while questions swirl around Novak Djokovic’s fitness before his semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner.
Swiatek produced a clinical performance against Belinda Bencic on Centre Court, cruising to a 6-2, 6-0 victory in just 72 minutes. The Polish star, known for her clay court prowess, showcased her growing comfort on grass, breaking Bencic repeatedly and closing the match with a commanding bagel in the second set. This will be Swiatek’s first appearance in a Wimbledon final, and she expressed disbelief at her achievement, calling it a “dream” she never expected to realize.
Meanwhile, Amanda Anisimova stunned world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a tense semi-final disrupted by two spectators fainting in the stands. Anisimova, riding high after a strong showing at Queen’s Club, powered past Sabalenka to book her spot in a maiden Grand Slam final. The American’s flat, aggressive game proved too much for the Belarusian, who showed visible frustration during the match.
The men’s draw heads into its semi-final stage on Friday, but Novak Djokovic’s participation remains in doubt. The 38-year-old suffered a fall late in his quarter-final win over Flavio Cobolli and has since canceled his Thursday practice session. While Djokovic managed to finish that match in four sets, he admitted post-match that the extent of his injury wouldn’t be clear until the next day. His scheduled opponent, Jannik Sinner, will be closely monitoring any developments.
In the other men’s semi-final, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to face American Taylor Fritz as he bids for his third consecutive Wimbledon title.
As the tournament nears its climax, fans are eager to see whether Swiatek can claim her first Wimbledon crown, whether Anisimova can continue her fairy-tale run, and if Djokovic will be fit enough to fight for a place in yet another final.
