Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic stunned teenager Mirra Andreeva in a tense match to reach a maiden semi-final at Wimbledon, where she will face eighth seed Iga Swiatek.
Russian seventh seed Andreeva frequently looked out of sorts while Bencic was a picture of calm in a 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) win on Centre Court.
Earlier, Poland’s Swiatek had booked a maiden semi-final at the All England Club with a 6-2 7-5 victory over Russian Liudmila Samsonova.
World number one Aryna Sabalenka and American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova will contest the other semi-final.
