The 27-year-old Sabalenka has been in dominant form, reaching her 11th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final and winning 23 of her last 25 major matches. Ranked 104th in the world, Siegemund has been the surprise package of the tournament, reaching her first Wimbledon quarter-final without dropping a set. Her path included a notable upset over sixth seed Madison Keys.
Here we go then! The first women's singles quarterfinal is underway and it is David against Goliath. Top seed Sabalenka taking on WTA 102 Siegemund.
An interesting start to the game as surprisingly it is Laura Siegemund who has taken the lead. She is leading the top ranked player in the world 3-1 early in the first set.

Sabalenka will be itching to bounce back.
Sabalenka is clawing her way back in this match. She lost the opening set but is on her way to take this contest into a decider. Sabalenka currently leading Siegemund 4-2 in the second set.
Aryna Sabalenka stretches this contest into a deciding set as she beats Laura Siegemund 6-2 to make a clinical comeback. After a little back and forth at the start of the set, Sabalenka pressed on her advantage to make it a no-contest. We are into the third set now.
It is 3-2 right now in favour of Siegemund but Sabalenka is clawing her way back. It keeps getting interesting and Siegemund should be proud of her effort so far.
Is it happening? Is Laura Siegemund, ranked outside top 100, going to beat the top-ranked Aryna Sabelenka? But the deciding set is hanging in balance. What is in store now? Stakes keep getting higher with every shot.
