Laura Siegemund is experiencing a remarkable surge at Wimbledon 2025, reaching the quarterfinals and showcasing her strongest grass-court performance to date. The 37-year-old German has defied expectations by advancing to her first quarterfinal at Wimbledon—her second Grand Slam singles quarterfinal overall—without dropping a set. Along the way, she has defeated World No. 36 Peyton Stearns in the first round, 29th seed Leylah Fernandez in the second, reigning Australian Open champion and sixth seed Madison Keys in the third, and lucky loser Solana Sierra in the fourth. Notably, Siegemund has not lost more than six games in any match, conceding just 22 games en route to the quarterfinals, a statistic matched only by Mirra Andreva among the remaining women in the draw[3].
Siegemund’s playing style, characterized by frequent drop shots, slicing, and net rushes, has been described as both unconventional and effective, often frustrating her opponents. She attributes her Wimbledon run to improved confidence on grass after getting more match play earlier in the season, which helped her refine her game for this surface: “This time that I had already a few matches in Nottingham, and I felt that I had more matches, and I had more opportunity to get this confidence, and it’s showing, yeah”[5].
Siegemund has candidly noted that her way of playing can be “annoying” to many opponents, but she prides herself on her resilience and tactical mindset: “I would never have believed I would reach the quarterfinals here, especially at this stage of my career… I have always had the audacity to face strong opponents in important settings. I don’t care who is on the other side; all I do is analyze their game and focus on myself”[1].
Her resurgence at 37 has captivated fans and reignited interest in her career. Siegemund, a three-time Grand Slam champion in doubles and mixed doubles, is also the reigning WTA Finals doubles champion (2023). Her run at Wimbledon 2025 marks a significant highlight late in her career, as she gets ready to face World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals[1].
