Wimbledon : Former world number one Iga Swiatek advanced to her maiden Wimbledon semi-final with a straight-sets victory over Liudmila Samsonova, winning 6-2, 7-5 on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Pole, who has previously won five Grand Slam titles, showed resilience in a tricky second set to secure her best-ever result on the All England Club’s grass courts. Swiatek will next face either Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva or Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic for a place in the final. “It feels great. I got goosebumps after this win,” Swiatek said after the match, reflecting on her hard work to adapt her game to grass this season
