Polish eighth seed Swiatek was in danger of becoming the latest star to crash out of the grass-court Grand Slam after losing the first set on Centre Court.

Five of the top 10 seeds have already been eliminated from the women's singles draw.
But the 24-year-old dug deep to win the final two sets as she moved into the third round.
Despite being a former junior champion at Wimbledon, Swiatek has struggled on grass in her professional career, with none of her 22 WTA titles coming on the surface.
The former world number one, who has won the French Open on clay four times, has never been past the quarter-finals in five previous visits to the All England Club.
Swiatek said she "showed there is hope" for her on grass after reaching the Bad Homburg Open final in the build-up to Wimbledon.
Beaten in the Australian and French Open semi-finals this year, Swiatek can still dream of making it to the Wimbledon final for the first time.

Wimbledon hit with electronic line call controversy as Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova says game was ‘stolen' from her
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (right) speaks to umpire Nico Helwerth during her match against Sonay Kartal. - Visionhaus/Getty Images Wimbledon organizers have apologized and explained that 'human error' was the reason behind the electronic line-calling system being turned off during a match on Sunday – and the tournament subsequently has removed the ability for operators to manually halt the tracking of the ball. The move comes after controversy stemming from a missed out call during Sunday's fourth-round clash between Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Britain's Sonay Kartal on Centre Court. Advertisement 'Following our review, we have removed the ability for Hawk-Eye operators to manually deactivate the ball tracking,' the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) said in a statement Monday to CNN Sports. 'While the source of the issue was human error, this error cannot now be repeated due to the system changes we have made.' During the first set of the match between Pavlyuchenkova and Kartal, a backhand from Kartal went long but there was no 'out' call from the electronic system, which has replaced human line umpires at Wimbledon this year. Pavlyuchenkova, who was one point away from winning that game, stopped playing with the ball landing outside the court. Umpire Nico Helwerth called for the match to be paused, while the automated system said, 'stop, stop,' leading to confusion from both players and the fans in attendance. Helwerth informed the crowd that he was going to check if the system was 'up and running' before spending time on the phone. Advertisement After a short delay, he said that the electronic system 'was unfortunately unable to track the last point,' which was subsequently replayed. Kartal went on to win the point and break Pavlyuchenkova to take a 5-4 lead. In the change of ends, the Russian could be heard saying to Helwerth: 'You took the game away from me. … They stole the game from me. They stole it.' The automated system did not pick up on balls landing out on three occasions in the game, with Helwerth calling the other two. The AELTC stated that Helwerth did not know the system had not been running. After the match had finished – with Pavlyuchenkova eventually winning 7-6(3), 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals – a spokesperson for the AELTC said that the system had been deactivated in error by 'those operating the system' and that a full investigation had taken place. Advertisement 'We have apologized to the players involved,' the spokesperson said in a statement to CNN. 'We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball tracking technology. 'The live ELC (electronic line-calling) system relies on the Hawk-Eye operators, the Review Official and the technology to work in harmony. This did not happen. In this instance there was a human error and as a consequence we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes.' It added that Helwerth had 'followed the established process' of replaying the point if the system goes down and it's unclear whether the ball was in or out. After booking her spot in the next round, Pavlyuchenkova called the whole situation 'confusing,' in particular when the umpire ordered the point to be replayed instead of awarding it to her. Advertisement 'I think it's good to raise this subject for the future,' Pavlyuchenkova told reporters. 'Because if anything like that happens in a very important moment of the match, I think we should have a wire system like in football. Then it's clear for everybody and we can move on right away instead of just guessing.' Pavlyuchenkova will play Amanda Anisimova in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. - Visionhaus/Getty Images The automated line-calling system has been a big talking point at this year's Wimbledon. Great Britain's top-ranked players – Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu – have both expressed their doubts about the system, with Raducanu calling it 'dodgy.' Switzerland's Belinda Bencic said that the new automated system has been a topic of discussion among players in the locker room. Advertisement The introduction of technology to replace line judges at Wimbledon follows many other tournaments around the world, including the Australian Open and the US Open. Following her win on Sunday, Pavlyuchenkova said that Helwerth 'probably was scared to take such a big decision' with the technology not working and called for more human intervention. 'That's why we have a chair umpire,' she said. 'Otherwise, I think soon let's just play without them and then we're going to have everything automatic. I think we are losing a little bit of the charm of actually having human beings, ballboys. 'Like during Covid, we didn't have ballboys. It just becomes a little bit weird and robot sort of orientated.' CNN's Ben Church contributed to this report. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at

Taylor Fritz becomes 1st American man to reach Wimbledon semifinals since 2018
Taylor Fritz defeated Karen Khachanov in four sets in the men's quarterfinal at Wimbledon on Tuesday to become the first male American tennis player to make the semifinals at Wimbledon since 2018. John Isner was the last American to reach the semifinals of the grass-court tournament. Fritz, 27, won 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4). The American dominated the first two sets as he took 40 of his 47 service points and never faced a break in that span. However, in the third set, the match flipped as Khachanov won eight of the next nine games. Fritz said he had never seen a match turn so quickly on him. "I mean he definitely started playing a bit better, but I feel like I gave him a lot of hope with not the best game to start the third set for me. But I've never really had a match change like that so drastically where I felt so in control: serving great, playing great, I didn't feel like my serve was in danger," Fritz said after the match on the court. "I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on his serve and then out of nowhere I feel like I started making a ton of mistakes. Before, I felt like I couldn't miss and then, all of the sudden, I'm making a ton of mistakes. He's putting a lot of balls in play, so I really had to fight to get that break back in the fourth and kind of get the match back to neutral." Fritz fell behind 2-0 in the fourth set, but rallied back to win the set in a tiebreak. The No. 5 ranked player in the world said it feels "great" to get through it. "I'm feeling great to get through it. I feel like the match was going so well for me two sets. I've never had a match really just flip so quickly. I'm really happy with how I kinda came back in the fourth set and got it done. I think momentum was definitely not going be on my side going into a fifth (set)," Fritz said. Fritz came into the match with a 1-4 record in major quarterfinals, including going 0-2 at Wimbledon. The 27-year-old was the runner-up at the U.S. Open last year. "It's an amazing feeling," Fritz said of making his first Wimbledon semifinal. "Obviously, having played the quarterfinals here twice and having lost in five twice, I don't think I could have taken another one, so I'm happy. I'm really happy I'm going to get to play the semis here." Khachanov fell to 0-11 in Grand Slam matches against opponents ranked in the top five with the loss. Fritz will either face two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain or unseeded Cam Norrie of Britain for a berth in the final on Friday.

Wimbledon 2025: Amanda Anisimova reaches semifinals for first time with win over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova
Prior to Tuesday, Amanda Anisimova had never advanced past the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. That's no longer the case. Anisimova is moving on to the semifinals after a 6-1, 7-6 win over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Tuesday. It was a dominant performance by Anisimova early, who allowed Pavlyuchenkova to take just one game in the first set. Advertisement Things weren't as easy in the second set. Despite getting out to a strong lead, Anisimova struggled to put Pavlyuchenkova away. A late rally by Pavlyuchenkova made it 5-5 in the second set. After the two traded games, the second set went to a tiebreak. In a tiebreak that lasted 20 points, it was Anisimova who eventually came out on top thanks to a final winner. Anisimova's serve was a major weapon throughout the match, picking up 6 aces and 26 winners. The win marks the farthest Anisimova has advanced at Wimbledon during her career. She previously reached the quarterfinals back in 2022, where she lost to Simona Halep. The win also matches Anisimova's best performance at a Grand Slam. The only other time she reached the semifinals came in the 2019 French Open, where she lost to Ashleigh Barty. Advertisement If Anisimova wants to reach a new career-high at a Grand Slam, she'll have to go through the No. 1 ranked women's player, Aryna Sabalenka, who came back to defeat Laura Siegemund on Tuesday. While Sabalenka will prove to be a step up for Anisimova, the American actually holds the advantage in head-to-head record. Anisimova has gone 5-3 against Sabalenka in their eight matches. One of those wins came during Anisimova's run to the 2019 French Open semifinals. Anisomova dominated those matchups earlier in her career, starting 4-0 against Sabalenka. But the women's No. 1 has flipped the script recently, going 3-1 in their four most-recent matches. The last time to two squared off was at the 2025 French Open, where Sabalenka took Anisimova down in straight sets. Advertisement If Anisomova can keep up her momentum, she could become the first American woman to win the event since Serena Williams in 2016.
