Swiatek and Andreeva Advance as Krejcikova and Rybakina Exit Wimbledon

Swiatek: Strawberries, cream… and pasta?!

• After cruising past Danielle Collins (6-2, 6-3), Swiatek credited her favourite childhood Polish dish: pasta with strawberries and yogurt.

• The five-time Slam champ has struggled on grass in the past but says now “the ball is listening to me”.

• She’ll face Clara Tauson next, after the Dane stunned 2022 champion Rybakina.

Andreeva’s rise continues

• Seventh seed Mirra Andreeva, just 18, showed her class against Hailey Baptiste (6-1, 6-3).

• She’s won 35 tour matches in 2025 – only Sabalenka (44) and Swiatek (37) have more.

• Next: the Russian prodigy faces Emma Navarro, who knocked out defending champ Krejcikova in a tearful thriller.

Rybakina out in rain drama

• 2022 champ Elena Rybakina fell to Tauson (7-6, 6-3) in a stop-start match plagued by delays.

• Tauson had never won a grass match before this year and now faces in-form Swiatek.

Seeds keep tumbling

• With Krejcikova and Rybakina gone, more than half the women’s top seeds are out already.

• Only Swiatek, Sabalenka and Andreeva remain from the pre-tournament favourites.
