Laura Siegemund continues her impressive Wimbledon 2025 run, having reached the quarterfinals at age 37, marking her second appearance in a major singles quarterfinal. On Sunday, Siegemund defeated lucky loser Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2, demonstrating her trademark variety with drop shots, slices, and net play[1]. Her performance at this year’s Wimbledon is a career best, with Siegemund crediting her improved confidence and more grass court matches for her success[1].

This deep run at Wimbledon comes after Siegemund’s victories over notable opponents, including a significant upset of reigning Australian Open champion and world No. 6 Madison Keys. With this achievement, Siegemund became the oldest woman in the Open Era to reach her maiden Wimbledon singles quarterfinal[4]. In her on-court interview, she humorously acknowledged the crowd’s applause regarding her age, remarking, “It’s not that often you get such a compliment for being old”[7].

Siegemund’s quarterfinal opponent is Aryna Sabalenka. Their match featured an intense battle of tactics and resilience, with Siegemund showcasing her signature creative play against Sabalenka’s power[5]. At one stage, Siegemund capitalized on Sabalenka’s errors to take control, but Sabalenka managed to recover, breaking Siegemund’s serve at crucial moments[5]. The match highlighted Siegemund’s ability to challenge top-ranked players and sustain long rallies against aggressive opponents[5].

As of June 2025, Siegemund held the WTA singles ranking of 104, reflecting her solid results this season[6]. She has played 30 matches in 2025, winning 14 and losing 16, with a win percentage of 46.67%[2].
