Summary
The first set was over in a flash, prompting Sabalenka to take an off-court break, but the second set was a far tighter affair, particularly once the top seed survived a lengthy fifth game on serve. AP Photo/Brian Inganga This was Sabalenka’s first straight-sets loss at any major since the 2020 US Open, and she remains without a Wimbledon title on her resume. But still, Sabalenka could not make inroads on Osaka’s serve as the set went to a tiebreak.
Furthermore, Osaka is enjoying her best-ever run at Wimbledon (Reuters) It feels a very real possibility that the 28-year-old can replicate her exploits on hard courts at Wimbledon, having finally found how to adapt her game to grass and now recording her first win over a top-10 player off hard courts. Next she will face 10th seed Karolina Muchova, whose win over fellow Czech Barbora Krejcikova guaranteed a ninth successive first-time women's champion at the All England Club. AP Photo/Brian Inganga Twice Osaka had chances to blow the set wide open, but twice Sabalenka came up big: she rifled a 185km/h serve through her rival’s defences on the first, then stepped into the court and clubbed a crosscourt backhand winner on the next.
