Top seed Aryna Sabalenka maintained her thrilling Grand Slam journey by securing her spot in the semi-finals, keeping her hopes alive for a chance at a third consecutive title. The two-time champion, who achieved victory in 2023 and 2024 while finishing second last year, will now compete against either Coco Gauff or Elina Svitolina for a place in the final this Saturday.
Sabalenka exploded out of the gates in the quarter-final, racing to a 3-0 lead in the first set, immediately putting her teenage rival Jovic under pressure. Despite this early lead, Jovic demonstrated maturity rarely seen in her age, battling hard to maintain her serve in the fourth game and gradually finding her rhythm in the match.
Making her Grand Slam quarter-final debut, the young talent utilized her speed and agility to challenge the seasoned Belarusian. She extended rallies and created moments of unease for Sabalenka, yet the world number one displayed remarkable composure, clinching the first set in just under an hour.
The second set revealed a more assertive Sabalenka, who broke serve in the opening game with an impressive cross-court winner and never looked back. Dominating the baseline exchanges with her power and accuracy, the 27-year-old finished the match decisively.
With this win, Sabalenka has once again emphasized her status as the top player, moving one step closer to another Grand Slam final and potentially a historic title run.
