Belinda Bencic Stuns Mirra Andreeva to Reach Wimbledon Semifinals

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 9 – Belinda Bencic won in two tiebreaks overcoming physical pain to reach her first Wimbledon semi-final, becoming the first Swiss woman in the last four since 1998, officials said.

  • On July 9, 2025, Belinda Bencic secured her first Wimbledon semi-final appearance by narrowly overcoming Mirra Andreeva in two closely contested sets decided by tiebreaks.
  • Bencic returned from maternity leave after giving birth in April 2024 and worked hard on her comeback despite a cracked toenail and an arm injury earlier in the year.
  • The quarter-final match was tightly contested on Centre Court with no service breaks over 21 games and two tiebreaks, where Bencic edged Andreeva, an 18-year-old Russian seventh seed.
  • Bencic said, “With two tiebreaks, it’s not easy” and credited her family and team for their help, adding “It’s a dream come true” and “I didn’t say it to myself much before having Bella.”
  • This victory propels Bencic into the top 20 of the WTA rankings and sets up a semi-final showdown with Iga Swiatek, a player with five Grand Slam titles, underscoring Bencic’s impressive resurgence at the highest level of the sport.
