For a place in the Wimbledon semifinal, Swiatek will play against No. 19 seed Liudmila Samsonova, who defeated Jessica Bouzas Maneiro today. The Pole leads their head-to-head 2-0. On the other side, Andreeva will meet Belinda Bencic, who overcame Ekaterina Alexandrova today. They have never played before.

Right before Wimbledon began, Novak Djokovic declared it was the tournament that gave him the best chance to claim an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam singles trophy. Made sense, really, given that he’s won seven titles there already and reached the past six finals.

Chaos reigned during the first three days at Wimbledon, with half of the women's Top 10 seeds ousted, before order was restored Thursday in London. Seventh-seeded Mirra Andreeva of Russia and eighth-seeded Iga Swiatek of Poland both prevailed on the grass courts to forge ahead to the third round.
