The 2025 Wimbledon field narrowed this weekend, leaving just three Top 10 contenders still in pursuit of a first-ever London title as the annual Grand Slam rolls into its quarterfinals.
Not always known for her prowess on grass, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka reached her third-career Wimbledon quarterfinal on Sunday, taking down Belgium's No. 23 Elise Mertens in straight sets.
"Everything is possible," Sabalenka said of her Wimbledon title chances. "I am just trying to give my best and really hope for the best."
Joining Sabalenka in leading Wimbledon's quarterfinal field is No. 4 Iga Świątek and No. 7 Mirra Andreeva, who made quick work of Denmark's No. 22 Clara Tauson and US star No. 10 Emma Navarro, respectively, to advance on Monday.
While several US stars crashed out in the Slam's early rounds — including No. 2 Coco Gauff — the country will still have one player featuring in the 2025 quarterfinals.
After taking the only three-set win in the 2025 tournament's Round of 16 by downing Czechia's No. 27 Linda Nosková on Sunday, world No. 12 Amanda Anisimova kept US title hopes alive by reaching her second-ever Wimbledon quarterfinal.
"I just kept telling myself to keep believing in myself," said the 23-year-old after the match.
Anisimova's victory comes as a trio of US stars — No. 8 Madison Keys, No. 54 Danielle Collins, and No. 55 Hailey Baptiste — all exited in the weekend's third round.
A few other fan favorites also went home this weekend, as England's No. 40 Emma Raducanu and Japan's No. 53 Naomi Osaka both suffered third-round defeats.

How to watch the 2025 Wimbledon quarterfinals
With the London Slam running through Saturday's championship match, the 2025 Wimbledon quarterfinals will rule the grass courts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sabalenka will kick off the round against Germany's No. 104 Laura Siegemund at 8:30 AM ET on Tuesday, before Anisimova looks to handle No. 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at 9:40 AM ET.
Though start times are not yet set, Wednesday's matches will pit Andreeva against Switzerland's No. 35 Belinda Bencic while Świątek takes on No. 19 Liudmila Samsonova.
Live coverage of the Wimbledon quarterfinals will air on ESPN.
The 2025 Wimbledon Championships wrapped its second round on Thursday, with the grass court Grand Slam seeing just 15 of the tournament's 32 seeded players advance to the Friday and Saturday's third round.
A full half of the WTA's Top 10 players did not survive the week, with 2024 Wimbledon finalist and world No. 5 Jasmine Paolini joining four first-round star exits by falling to unseeded Kamilla Rakhimova in a three-set, second-round battle on Wednesday.
At the same time, unseeded fan favorites like Japan's No. 53 Naomi Osaka and England's own No. 40 Emma Raducanu secured third-round spots at the London Slam, joining top surviving contenders like No. 4 Iga Świątek and defending Wimbledon champion No. 16 Barbora Krejčíková.
Notably, a full five US players managed to move ahead, tied for the largest national contingent still standing at the tournament.
Led by 2025 Australian Open champion No. 8 Madison Keys, the US group also includes No. 10 Emma Navarro and No. 12 Amanda Anisimova, as well as unseeded players No. 54 Danielle Collins and No. 55 Hailey Baptiste.
With matches against Świątek and No. 7 Mirra Andreeva, respectively, Collins and Baptiste have a tough third round ahead — though Navarro's battle against the 2024 champ Krejčíková arguably headlines Saturday's slate.

How to watch Wimbledon this weekend
While world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is still holding strong in the dwindling field, this year's Wimbledon play is proving that the London Slam is anyone's to take, as the grass court humbles even the sport's top stars.
Expect the twists and turns to continue as tennis's best battle for spots in Sunday's Round of 16.
Round-of-32 Wimbledon play kicks off at 6 AM ET on Friday, with live continuous coverage of the tournament airing on ESPN.
After early exits from the 2025 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, US standouts continued to struggle this week, failing to advance past the Round of 16 at the Miami Open.
After ending the dream of a single Sunshine Double winner by outlasting Indian Wells champion No. 6 Mirra Andreeva in Sunday's three-set Round of 32 battle, US contender No. 17 Amanda Anisimova fell to the UK's unseeded Emma Raducanu in straight sets on Monday.
The Round of 16 action also saw world No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka knock out US stalwart No. 14-seed Danielle Collins in two sets — a fate similarly suffered by No. 3-ranked Coco Gauff, who fell to Poland's unseeded Magda Linette by the exact same 6-4, 6-4 scoreline.
"It wasn’t great today," Gauff told reporters after the match. "It hasn’t been the last few weeks — I’m trying to figure that out. Definitely not happy about it."
The 21-year-old star is in the midst of a particularly frustrating 2025 run, having yet to advance past the quarterfinals of any competition since winning the 2024 WTA Finals.
"It's just a series of not having great results and feeling confident on the court," she said of her current struggles.
The lone US player still on Miami's court is world No. 4 Jessica Pegula, who easily ousted Ukraine's No. 23-seed Marta Kostyuk 6-2, 6-3 on Monday.

Unseeded players shine at 2025 Miami Open
Though five of the WTA's Top 9 players — from Sabalenka to her next opponent, China's No. 9 Qinwen Zheng — advanced to this week's Miami Open quarterfinals, a trio of unseeded athletes are also making deep runs in Florida.
The aforementioned Raducanu is displaying the same tenacity that helped her win the 2021 US Open at just 18 years old, dispatching a trio of US players in No. 8-seed Emma Navarro, unseeded McCartney Kessler, and Anisimova to claim a Wednesday quarterfinal date with US star Pegula.
Also causing chaos in Miami is unseeded 19-year-old Filipino pro Alexandra Eala, who rolled over 2025 Australian Open champion and world No. 5 Madison Keys on Sunday, ultimately earning a shot at No. 2 Iga Świątek on Wednesday.
But first, Gauff's unseeded conquerer Linette will kick off the tournament's quarterfinals by facing No. 6-seed Jasmine Paolini.
The Italian star already ushered Japan icon Naomi Osaka out of the competition in Monday's three-set Round of 16 battle, and will take aim at Linette's similarly impressive unseeded run on Tuesday.

How to watch the 2025 Miami Open quarterfinals
The 2025 Miami Open quarterfinals will kick off on Tuesday, when Magda Linette will face No. 6 Jasmine Paolini at 3:20 PM ET, before No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka takes on No. 9 Qinwen Zheng at 7 PM ET.
The remaining two quarterfinals will take Wednesday's court, with the timing for Emma Raducanu vs. No. 4 Jessica Pegula and Alexandra Eala vs. No. 2 Iga Świątek yet to be determined.
All 2025 Miami Open matches will be covered live on the Tennis Channel.
Emma Raudcanu will miss the French Open and Wimbledon after undergoing surgery to deal with “a recurring injury on a bone of both hands,” she revealed Wednesday.
“It is safe to say the last 10 months have been difficult,” she wrote. “I tried my best to manage the pain and play through it for most of this year and end of last year.”
Raducanu says that she reduced her practice load, missed “weeks of training” and cut last season short in order to try and heal the injury. But “unfortunately it’s not enough.” She has had a “minor procedure” on both hands to resolve the issues, she wrote.
“I’m disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months,” she continued, writing that she will undergo an additional procedure on her ankle.
The top British player has been managing the wrist injury for the last few months, and she withdrew from the Madrid Open last week shortly before her opening match.
It’s unknown when Raducanu will return to competition, although she noted that she will “miss the summer events.” That puts her out for both the French Open and Wimbledon, and possibly for the US Open as well.
“I tried to downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to support me when you did not know the facts,” she wrote. “Looking forward to seeing you all back out there.”

Coco Gauff advanced to the third round at the Australian Open after besting Emma Raducanu, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4), in a blockbuster matchup.
The victory was the 100th WTA win of Gauff’s career. The 18-year-old American is the youngest woman to reach that milestone since 2009, when an 18-year-old Carolina Wozniacki did so.
Gauff took a 4-2 lead in the second set before Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, battled back to grab a 5-4 advantage. But Gauff, who made her first Grand Slam final at the French Open last year, held firm.

“I stayed calm when I needed to and made the serve when I needed to. Held when I needed to. I think that definitely comes with maturity,” Gauff said. “I feel like in the past, I would have freaked out in that moment.
“I just told myself to hang in there. Emma was playing really good tennis towards the end of the match.”
Gauff reached No. 7 spot in the world rankings to end 2022, a career high. Raducanu had jumped to a career-high No. 10 last summer, but after struggling with injury she has dropped to No. 77.
“Honestly, the whole match was great,” Gauff said. “In the beginning I think we both started off rocky, but I think the match was good quality for the most part. Considering the circumstances—I imagine both of us were nervous, as this was a long-anticipated match-up basically since the draw came out. So I’m glad that it was a good match for you guys.”
For the two teenagers, the match came with the weight of expectations. With the retirement of some of the world’s best in 2022, including Serena Williams and Ash Barty, the next generation of tennis is beginning to take hold.
“Fans are eager to see a new face of the game,” Gauff said. “I feel like we handled the pressure pretty well, and kudos to Emma—I know she had a tough week in Auckland, so really good for her to be able to play this level after such a scary moment.”
Raducanu’s status for the Australian Open had been in doubt. The 20-year-old British star had retired from a second-round match in Auckland two weeks ago with an injury, and she was on crutches 10 days before the year’s first major began. But she battled back Tuesday despite going down early.
“We’re going to be playing each other many times in the future, as we’re both young and coming,” Raducanu said. “You know, like, we’re going to be the next generation.”
Emma Raducanu is moving on in Madrid after cruising to a 6-2, 6-1 win over Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk Sunday.
The No. 9 seed has now recorded five victories in her first seven tour matches on clay.
Dropping only 3⃣ games!

Reigning U.S. Open champion Raducanu won seven straight games during one stretch of the match, fully taking control of the contest. Winning 88. 9 percent of her first-serve points, Raducanu overpowered Kostyuk for a dominant second-round showing.
The 19-year-old will next face Anhelina Kalinina, who upset Garbiñe Muguruza, in Mutua Madrid Open’s third round.
Iga Swiatek’s hot streak continues, with the World No. 1 defeating Emma Raducanu 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinal round at the Stuttgart Open on Friday for her 21st straight win.
The victory, which took one hour and 45 minutes, marks Swiatek’s tour-leading 28th win of the season and her 13th consecutive straight-set triumph.
With the win against No. 12 Raducanu of Great Britain, the Polish star has now won her last seven matches against top 20 opponents. Swiatek last registered a top-20 loss against then-No. 1 Ashleigh Barty in January.
Her run continues 💥

Raducanu didn’t make it easy for Swiatek, pushing her opponent through both sets.
Ultimately, though, the World No. 1 pulled out the win, besting Raducanu in first serve points won and second serve points won, with both stats hovering around 70 percent. Swiatek also saved four of five break points, while Raducanu saved just one of four.
Friday’s win advances Swiatek to the semifinal at the German tournament, where she will face Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova in their first-ever meeting.
A man was found guilty of stalking US Open tennis champion Emma Raducanu and given a five-year restraining order on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old Amrit Magar was also sentenced to an 18-month community service order that will include 200 hours of unpaid work. Additionally, he will be monitored by an electronic tag and under curfew for eight weeks.
On three separate occasions, Magar visited the 19-year-old Raducau’s home, loitering outside and leaving unwanted gifts and cards. Stolen property was also reported in a trial heard last month. On one occasion, he decorated a tree on the property with Christmas lights. He would also leave things, like a bouquet of flowers with a personal note and a map that showed the 23 miles he had walked from his home.
He was arrested after a doorbell camera alerted Raducanu’s father to his presence. Magar was found guilty during a trial at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.
According to the trial, Magar told police officers that he liked Raducanu “because of her high-profile status after her victory in the US Open.”
Raducanu made history last year as the first qualifier to win the US Open. She was named the 2021 BBC Sports Personality of the Year for her accomplishments.
Under the restraining order, Magar is banned from contacting Raducanu or her parents, coming within a mile of their street or attending any of Raducanu’s practices or competitions.
Raducanu recently had to retire from the Gaudalajara Open with a hip injury.
As the second round of the Australian Open continued, so did the upsets for many of the tournament’s top players.
World No. 3 Garbiñe Muguruza fell 6-3, 6-3 to world No. 61 Alizé Cornet in 87 minutes. Cornet handled Muguruza easily, winning 83 percent of her first-service points. The 31-year-old had a mere 16 unforced errors to Muguruza’s 33.
It’s Cornet’s 10th win over a top five player in her career.
The Frenchwoman will face off against No. 29 seed Tamara Zidansek in the third round for the first time.
Sixth-ranked Anett Kontaveit found herself upended by Clara Tauson in straight sets 6-2, 6-4.
At 19 years old, Tauson is currently ranked 39th in the world. Just her second match against a top 10 player, it’s her first top 10 win as she advances to the third round of a major for the first time.
Tauson forced 27 unforced errors out of Kontaveit while conceding just 13 of her own.
“I think everything was working,” Tauson said with a smile in her post-match press conference. “I felt really comfortable on court. It was a nice court to play on. The weather was really good today. I just felt really good out there. Just went for everything and it worked today.”
The teenager will meet No. 27 Danielle Collins in the third round.
Another upset found its way late in the second round as Danka Kovinic took down No. 17 seed Emma Raducanu 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. It’s Kovinic’s fourth career top 20 win.
Having lost in the second round of six previous majors, it’s Kovinic’s first time advancing to the third round of a Grand Slam.
History maker 🇲🇪@DankaKovinic upsets Emma Raducanu 6-4 4-6 6-3 to become the first player representing Montenegro to reach the third round of a Grand Slam.

The player from Montenegro will face off against Simona Halep in the third round.
Raducanu, who was struggling with a deep blister on her racket hand, said after she had to resort to a slice.
“There were some people in my team that maybe didn’t want me to play but I wanted to go out there & fight through it, see how far I could get,” she said. “I discovered tools about myself and my game that I didn’t know I had.”
No. 12 Elena Rybakina is also out after her second round match. Rybakina was forced to retire in the second set, having gone down 6-4 against Shuai Zhang.
Iga Swiatek managed to stay the course on Tuesday, sealing a 6-2, 6-2 win over Rebecca Peterson. It’s the No. 7 seed’s third straight year advancing to the third round at Melbourne Park.
Swiatek will face off against No. 25 Daria Kasatkina in the third round.
Emma Raducanu passed her first Australian Open test on Tuesday, defeating Sloane Stephens in three sets, 6-0, 2-6, 6-1.
The win gives the 17th seed a 11-1 record in Grand Slam matches.
A Melbourne moment to remember ✨

Raducanu ripped through the first set in 17 minutes, making just two unforced errors. Stephens, the 2017 US Open Champion, broke Raducanu in the opening game of the second set on her way to pulling even.
“It was a tough match-up really for a first round, but I was just very happy,” Raducanu said after the match. “I knew there was going to be some very long rallies and her athleticism is really up there, so I was having to work extremely hard for my points, but I’m so happy to have got through.
“I think it was a really high-quality match, with some very long rallies. I’m very happy to come through against a great champion like her.”
It was a good way to rebound for Raducanu, who struggled at the Sydney Tennis Classic earlier this month, falling to Elena Rybakina 6-0, 6-1.
Raducanu will play world No. 98 Danka Kovinic in the second round.
