Sabalenka through to 1/2 finals after comfortable victory

Aryna Sabalenka emerged victorious in her 1/4 final Wimbledon clash against Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for a fourth consecutive time.

The number two seed swooped past her opponent in the first set in no time, but trailed 4-2 in the second.

However, that didn’t seem to bother her as she broke Keys’ serve twice and won all the remaining games in the set.

DOMINANT ARYNA! 🔥

The 25-year-old will face either defending champion Elena Rybakina or 2022 runner-up Ons Jabeur. If she successfully reaches the final, then the Belarusian will replace Iga Swiatek as world No.1.

“I can’t wait to play my second semi-final and hopefully I can do better,” she said in her on-court interview.

“Since that semi-final I changed a lot. I did a lot of work and think I am a different player now.”
