Rinky Hijikata could become a two-time grand slam doubles champion on Saturday after winning a thrilling Wimbledon semi-final that ended with even better celebrations.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — Iga Świątek is not messing around as she moves into her first Wimbledon final. She dominated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 Thursday to set up a meeting with Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., with the controlled, clinical aggression on both serve and return that has defined her tennis the past fortnight.

Following Aryna Sabalenka's controversial French Open press conference, she joked at a possible repeat after her Wimbledon semifinal loss to Amanda Anisimova.

Dimitrov most recently retired from the first round of the French Open with a thigh injury while holding a 6-2, 6-3, 2-6 lead over American Ethan Quinn. He retired from Wimbledon in the fourth round in 2024 with an abductor tear. He trailed Daniil Medvedev, 5-3, in the first set at the time of that injury.

Everything is conducted through the official Wimbledon website. The ballot for 2026 is not yet open, with applications usually accepted from September onwards. But those fans keen to try their luck must first sign up for a myWimbledon account.
