Sabalenka Downs Former Doubles Partner to Power Into Wimbledon Quarters

  • Aryna Sabalenka secured a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Elise Mertens on Sunday at Wimbledon, advancing to the quarter-final stage of the women's singles on Centre Court.
  • Sabalenka secured a hard-fought victory against Elise Mertens, her former doubles partner with whom she claimed two Grand Slam titles, and demonstrated resilience after missing the previous Wimbledon tournament because of a shoulder injury and overcoming the 2022 ban affecting Russian and Belarusian players.
  • Sabalenka showed resilience by recovering from an early break in the second set to force a tiebreak, secured a timely break in the opening set, and extended her win streak against Mertens to ten in singles.
  • At 27 years old and ranked number one in the world, Sabalenka is among the few top-10 seeds still competing and is set to play against 37-year-old Laura Siegemund, who became the oldest player to reach her first Wimbledon quarter-final after a 6-3, 6-2 victory.
  • Sabalenka, aiming for her maiden Wimbledon championship, acknowledged the challenge of competing against a close acquaintance and expressed her determination to give her all in Tuesday's quarter-final match against Siegemund.
