It only feels like yesterday that we were gearing up for day one of this year's Wimbledon, but on Thursday, the women's singles semi-finals will take place on Centre Court.
After several top seeds, including Coco Gauff, Madison Keys and Jasmine Paolini, all went out early on, it has felt like a championship with Aryna Sabalenka's name on it.
The world number one was facing elimination in the quarter-finals, but she rallied late on in the third set to take the match away from Laura Siegemund. She will now face a rejuvenated Amanda Anisimova for a place in the final.
The other semi-final will see Belinda Bencic take on Iga Swiatek. Bencic has been the underdog throughout the tournament, and that will be the case once again on Thursday when she takes on the world number four.

Wimbledon day 11 tips: Our picks
Aryna Sabalenka 2-1 Amanda Anisimova (3/1)
Aryna Sabalenka is the only player left in the Women's singles who has reached the stage of the tournament that her seed suggested she would. However, it's not all been plain sailing for the Belarussian and there is certainly room for improvement.
She should count herself lucky that she made it through her quarter-final match, and that wasn't the only occasion where she has been below par. In the third round, Emma Raducanu had chances to win the opening set against her and led by a break in the second.
In the round earlier, Marie Bouzkova also should have taken the opening set against her but was broken at 6-5 up. So, while the stats sheet will show she has only dropped one set all tournament, things could have been very different.
Her semi-final opponent, Amanda Anisimova, has been excellent throughout and is the best server that Sabalenka has played so far. It's unlikely that the world number one will be able to get away with dropping her own serve as much as she has been doing on Thursday.
With that all being said, Sabalenka should still find a way to win this match, but I'm backing Anisimova to take a set off her.
Belinda Bencic to beat Iga Swiatek (9/4)
This is Iga Swiatek's best-ever performance at Wimbledon, but her struggles on serve have been there for all to see. The former world number one has been broken twice in each of her last two matches, and although she won both in straight sets, she is far from unbeatable on this surface.
Belinda Bencic has been serving excellently over the past two weeks at Wimbledon, and was broken just the once in her win over Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals. If she can continue serving well, then Swiatek will certainly struggle.
The world number 35 does have previous success over Swiatek in a grand slam, too, having beaten her without dropping a set at the 2021 US Open.
