It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.

Iga Swiatek has reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova that went from a stroll to a bit of a struggle in the late stages.

Iga Swiatek will play Belinda Bencic at approximately 9:40 a.m. ET today, or whenever the previous match concludes. The Swiatek vs. Bencic match will air on ESPN and ESPN Deportes. Every Wimbledon match will also be available to stream on ESPN+.

Strawberries are a popular dessert at Wimbledon, but how about on pasta? Here's what to know about Iga Swiatek's favorite meal, a Polish staple:

The cool part about strawberries and pasta is that it's no longer considered a sugary balm to endure a time of struggle. It's a cultural touchstone, a delightful treat that Polish families have integrated into their kitchens all the time to this day. It has evolved into something so much more.

Now, Swiatek has a chance to become the eighth woman in tennis history with a Grand Slam title on all surfaces. If she achieves the feat, she'll join Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Hana Mandlikova, Steffi Graf, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Ashleigh Barty.
